HI,
NEED HELP, IM ON DIAL UP, I USE EBAY ALOT AND PICTURES OF AUTOS TAKE FOR
EVER TO DOWN LOAD, IM NOT HANDY ON A COMPUTER, IM 62, NEED HELP.
THANK YOU
 
Unfortunatly there's no real way to help that. Some service providers offer
accelorators, but those work usually by degrading the quality of images.
Google offers a free accelorator tool, but it's designed for broadband, and
would certinatly be detrimental to your speed on dialup.

You might consider switching to DSL internet, if available in your area. It
has a price that is in many cases the same or even less than some dial-up
providers.

You are on dial-up.
This is the likely culprut.
In order to speed up downloading of anything - you need a faster connection.

You can try all of those "speed up the internet" utilities - but all they
are really doing is downloading ahead of you - predicting where you might
go - caching what is most likely where you go. It's not speeding up
anything.

Simplest way to put it - you have water going through a plastic pipe. That
pipe can only take on so much water at so much pressure. After that - it
fails. Your dial-up is at max amount/pressure. In order to get more - you
need a larger pipe. DSL/Cable Modem/Wireless DSL/T1/Satellite/etc..
