There is a fix available that usually increases bandwidth. Many cable providers, which may include DSL providers, purposely limit your bandwidth, so they can move more people onto the same leg of their network. The fix increased my performance from about 500K to well over 2Mbps and up to 4Mbps when I have two downloads running at the same time. If you want I can publish a pointer to the site that has this fix. I will need to look for it. Bob Graham
