Networking Questions and Answers - Internet Explorer Download Speed

Anoop writes in with a networking question:
Question:How can I download software fast with Internet Explorer?

Answer: Internet Explorer itself will not determine the speed that you can download software over the internet. It will depend on your internet connection. If you use a dialup connection (usually 56 kbps) then it most likely will take a long time depending on the size of the file you are downloading. Other internet connections like DSL and cable, also known as broadband will download it much faster. There are different speed levels of DSL and cable depending on your provider. Many businesses use T1 lines and higher for broadband internet access. So to answer your question, the faster your internet connection, the faster you can download.
