TRICKS TO IMPROVE OUR DOWNLOADING SPEED

1. 1.Find high-speed wireless hotspots to piggyback off of higher-speed providers. If you are using a laptop, you can find wireless hotspots that offer you high speed internet. You can find that at your local college, internet cafe, or library, or go to a friend's or relative's house — someone you know has high-speed internet.

   Turn off all unused apps while downloading. When you're downloading a big (or a small) file, it helps to turn off any and all apps that you aren't using in order to download. Media apps, especially, can be a silent killer to your bandwidth.
   • If you need to use applications while downloading, segregate one computer for downloading and try to find another computer for using apps. You can go to the library, ask a friend, etc. for access to another computer.

   Get an optimal internet connection. Your internet connection may not be optimal. If for example you use DSL but live far from the central office, you may suffer from poor download speeds. In that case, you may want to switch to a different ISP or switch to cable.

   Don't upload information while you're downloading. If you're uploading files while you're trying to download information, you're seriously taxing your bandwidth. It's like having the cold water faucet on full blast, turning the hot water faucet on a bit, and then wondering why your water isn't piping hot. The same thing goes for bandwidth. If your cold water (uploading) is on full blast, it'll be difficult to feel much warm water (downloading).
   • Set your upload bandwidth to 90% or less of your max upload speed. This will give your bandwidth some more room to process download requests.
