There's a Firefox add-on/extension called Faster Fox that claims to speed page loads. I haven't tested whether it actually does.

Tools..Add-Ons
click Get Extensions
search for Faster Fox

You mean your web browser.

Your connection to the Internet is everything. You can't increase download speed with software.

However, a browser like Firefox that renders images quickly can improve the experience. And there's some debate on that subject.
A download "accelerator" is an option. They DO NOT make things download faster. They work by downloading content from the pages you might link to off of the current one, in advance of your clicking them. It gives the illusion of faster downloads. It's using bandwidth while you're just reading a page for example to "pre-load" the next page. There are plugins for Firefox that do this.

You can also read about operating system tweaks to make the most out of your connectivity. Windows XP is already about as tweaked as it can be for Internet speed.
Make sure you do not have background things running, such as webshots, that consumes bandwidth needlessly.

In general if you want more speed you need a faster connection and/or better service provider.

first you should use IDM a download manager. Its not much for speeding up but it does let you relink to broken downloads in case a download fails, it wont have to start all over. Then there are a few tweaks you can do by typing about:config into your browser
1.Type "about:config" into the address bar and hit return. Scroll down and look for the following entries:

network.http.pipelining network.http.proxy.pipelining network.http.pipelining.maxrequests

Normally the browser will make one request to a web page at a time. When you enable pipelining it will make several at once, which really speeds up page loading.

2. Alter the entries as follows:

Set "network.http.pipelining" to "true"

Set "network.http.proxy.pipelining" to "true"

Set "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" to some number like 30. This means it will make 30 requests at once.

3. Lastly right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer. Name it "nglayout.initialpaint.delay" and set its value to "0". This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it recieves.
