Swap is normally twice your physical RAM (ie 256mb in your case). Kmail is available on your instal disks or, since you are a Mandrake user, drop into a console, and as root, type urpmi kmail.

Don't know about the accelerator as I don't use them.

No problem, but you aren't giving your self much memory You may notice your computer start to slow down more than you would if you had more memory/swap once you have a lot of programs/services running.

As for a download accelerator - I tend to use wget:
wget http://ahost/afile

It doesn't increase the speed much but it is great for resuming dropped or broken connections. It can also do spidered (recursive) downloads too.
