Are you frustrated with your internet download speed?
Feel like a snail while downloading ?
What if I told you that you can become a King of Downloading? Yes, King!
It obviously feels like a King when you are the only person in the group whose downloading speed is Light Speed!
Wanna be the King? Here’s how.
If you are willing to increase download speed inside college campus while using college/ Univ. Internet Connection, whether it’s WiFi or LAN, this post is definitely for you.
Normally, what happens on big networks is that you get very low downloading speed (< 70-80 KBPS) due to the bandwidth limitation applied by the administrator, so that every user will get a decent internet surfing/downloading speed. But the “DECENT” is not enough most of the time, especially when you are about to download a movie or a Game of Thrones episode, this DECENT internet sucks!
So you can try this technique to suck all the speed out of the router.
How to increase Download speed?
First, download the Download Booster(904 KB) from here. Then:
1 . Extract the Zip file . It will look like this:
2. Copy the Download link from IDM Download File Info box.
3. Run the Downloader.bat file
4. Paste the Link in the command windows: Right click, Paste and hit [ENTER] twice
5. You should see an output like this.
Output file will be saved within the directory you extracted your download script.
The underlined number is the downloading speed I get by the download script.
By IDM or any other download the speed is about 30 KBPS.
Can you see the difference in speed ? You might get even more.
Note: for youtube.com links put the download link inside double inverted commas “*DOWNLOAD_LINK*”
Caution:
Never try to run more than one download simultaneously. It may reduce your network card’s life.
I will be posting the actual working copy of the tool tomorrow. It makes a big difference in downloading speed as compared to best known download accelerators out there like IDM, DAP, DTA, etc.
[UPDATE]
Are you curious to know more about the working of the script?

CONCLUSION
If you follow the steps I listed above, you should be able to increase download speed at your college or office campus dramatically. It worked for me, and it can work for you, too.
Did it work for you? Let me know in the Comments section below.
I would love to know that! Don’t forget to share and keep learning.
