Try FlashGet, the download manager that speeds up your downloads. You can also get FlashGot which intregates it into Firefox but you still need FlashGet for it to do anything.

It's most likely the server if you notice a significant decrease in speed. Download Accelerator Plus works fine, and if the site supports it, you can switch download sources and look for the best one.

I would yell at your ISP. A lot can be achieved when talking in a calm, yet demanding, disappointed voice to an ISP representative (ask for supervisor). Just say you're paying for X, and you are receiving Y speeds.

Well first l;et me ask what speed are you capped at. Typically on weekends, peak hours (*3pm-11pm*) daily the internet speed normally is slower on cable connections because thats when kidsa are home downloading and playing games etc same concept for weekends. It can also be the server where youre downloading from is experiencing high traffic or you just got a bad connection. In my own opinion download accelerators tweak connections about a 5% difference. If you call this change thats your thought but i just think its a waste of time. For me when im downloaing large files i typically do it over night when i know the neighborhood connection traffic is low.
