Increase Download Speed

Step 4: Prioritize Downloads to increase download speed

• Remember, your Internet connection provides a finite bandwidth capacity. The more files you try downloading at a time, the slower each download will be. To increase your download speed, you need to:

1. Limit your number of downloads.
   • Try only downloading one file at a time.
2. Limit the number of programs running while you download.
   • Open internet browsers and other programs will slow your Internet speeds.
   • Only keep the programs open you absolutely need.
3. Disable add-ons and extra tool bars.
4. Try downloading off peak hours (5 pm to 11 pm).
5. Try downloading when you are not using your computer for anything

Conclusion

• You don't have to be frustrated by slow download speeds. Follow these simple tips and soon you'll be downloading files to your heart's content.
