How wide is your favorite musical group? Okay, we're not talking about that kind of bandwidth with this tip. Any type of Internet connection is a two way street. However, traffic may not move as fast in each direction. For instance, you may be connected at "50k," but that's just the connection's 'download' speed; you're uploading at a slower baud. Wanna make this discrepancy even greater? Sure, let's bump up your modem's receiving capabilities. Open up the 'Modems' icon sitting in your Control Panel; select your modem, then press the 'Properties' button. On the 'Connection' tab, press the 'Port Settings' button. Now, try maxing out the 'Receive Buffer' first. Hopefully, you'll notice a (small) downloading speed increase.
