dxer, if your speed is not upto 256k its highly likely the site at the other end doesnt send out data fast enough... to maximise your use of your bandwidth, do multiple downloads at a time hehe (like browsing, online radio and torrents etc all at the same time...)i have 512kbps (64kBps) and i sometimes get just 300kbps, and only if i download multiple stuff (say videos off channel9.msdn.com) then i get the full speed... but i do this only during the NU time, for normal usage i prefer if im not maxing out the speed hehe
