i am using the best possible dialup connection and it gives the maximum of 5 kbps speed.

Thats about normal for a 56K modem.

I have 56K Modem and it gives me from 38.0 Kbps to 52.0 Kbps.

5 Kbps is too slow for me.

 

[andrew_nixon]

Download speeds are (usually) given in KBps, so 5 KBps is normal for a 56K modem. Which is 56 kbps.

Infact, my windows downloader downloads at 4.5 kbps

Two of my friends have tried Linux with DownloadX. They are also able to downlaod at above 20 kbps. They use a different ISP ( Satyam Online ) to mine ( HCL Infinet )

Windows does sometimes give speeds in kbps instead of kBps

Andrew, what's the difference between KBps and kbps? :scratch: :scratch:

 

[andrew_nixon]

KBps is kilobytes per second

kbps is kilobits per second

[andrew_nixon]

There's several free versions you can download. Just search for them.

 

[Sanju]

Linux free versions,or download manager free version.

 

[andrew_nixon]

Linux

DownloadX works only with Linux.

Well, if you need Linux distros, get this months Digit Magazine. There are four Distros available for free, and a lot of software. The magazine costs justs 100 bucks, but comes with a DVD for Linux and two more CDs for games and software.

And, make sure your modem chipset is supported by that Particular distro.
