    There's a few, Download Accelerator is the one that I remember, but each and every one of the download tools you find is likely to be riddled with spyware. For Kazaa, there's a tool called SpeedUp, also spyware-laden.

    Honestly though, your best bet is to get cable, or convince your parents to get cable. Even with an accelerator program, the VERY VERY BEST download speed you will EVER see is 20Kb/s. Your AVERAGE speed, IF you are lucky, is gonna be about 9~11Kb/s.

    Cable is maybe $20 a month more than you pay now for your dialup, and the speeds of it are so much faster you'll think you died and went to bandwidth heaven. DSL, too, but I'm not as familiar with the speeds on it so I can't personally vouch for it.

    There is a FREE program to speed up Kazaa called KAZOOM (not joking)
    type kazoom in the search box of kazaa

    I might as well find out for myself, but will this Kazoom also work for people, like myself, who have a very very slow DSL connection?

    Search google for K++. Its the complete deal for ad-free, free downloads, with the options of keeping downloads paused and such.

    you'd be damn lucky to get on a good dc server with 20 gigs shared. All my hubs are min 40-50.

    and afaik, theres no program that you can get that will actually SPEED UP 56k downloads, once again afaik its not possible.

    Kazoom and other tools like that can however help you get the best of your connection, ie max it out.

    Depending on your connection speed tho, this can range between 3-5 kbps, usually.
