ok... i just wanted to ask about this stuff so i caould explain it to my mom and i can keep the settings like this... i pretty much had already guessed (some of of it anyways)... so shes not gonna do anythinga bout it... and my downloads have started goin faster (up in the 50kb/s and more range now!!!)... they just didnt take effect immediatley becaus my internet went down for awhile (something about insight or the way we have our LAN settings set up... i dont know but it does it all the time so i just work around it)... so thanks again and i, too, hope my future downloads will be as fast and faster!!
