hi m8,<br />i've also got a 56k modem, and i can't get cable yet (or bt broadband),<br />i use "download accelerator plus" from:<br /><a href="http://www.speedbit.com" target="_blank">www.speedbit.com</a><br />it claims to speed up downloads by upto 30%,but i've found it is more like 10%, and it allows u to pause etc.<br />the free download gives u 4 channels of simultaneous downloads, which speeds things up a bit (but still too slow at 56k)<br />hope it helps,<br />owenzy <img src="smile.gif" border="0"> <br />p.s.<br />it also helps to have just ur modem plugged in to ur line box as this reduces line noise (and ups the "ren" No. of ur line<br />owenzy
