outlaw: How do you guys get more than 30 kb/s DL speed on a 256kbps connection? On my 512, I can never get more than 60 kb/s. In my experience, all IDM does is let me get the most out of my internet connection, i.e. it'll give me 60-65 kb/s speed on average, which is the maximum possible speed on a 512 connection. I've heard people claim they get double speeds on IDM, but I'm thinking maybe they're mistaken? Because of the multiple connections thingy, DL speed shown in IDM keeps changing very quickly. Like one second it's 100 kb/s and the next instant it'll be 20 kb/s. But the overall speed boost in my opinion is no more than 10-20%. Right? Or an I missing out on some sorcery?
