FC4+KDE+kget.
i have connected to internet by an proxy server in my UNIVERSITY.
I have a very fast page load speed.But Download is very very low.It sometimes stalled in kget.
Why it is slow.

that sounds like a throtle issue.(some proxies limit the speed you access data from certain programs) you can't change that

when you page download is quick are large files from websites quick to download?


i dont use kget but type
kget --help
there would have to be a way to change the port from whatever is is to something else.
port 80 is known not to be slow web browsers use that.
so change it to 80

Is there Any programs to overcome this throttle issue?When u take the speed of webpage loading it is too much?It is starting from 4.5Kb/s and slowly converges to stalled condition.
