internet connection from my ISP is 750kbps speed with 25g limit, if i download 25g of data the speed changes to 32kbps, i have found a way to break through network speed limit for a short period of time. if i start downloading a file, the speed for first 2-3 seconds is a lot higher then limited 4KB/s (90-250KB/s) which is even more then 750kbps, but after these 2-3 seconds it drops down to 750/32, so i wrote little dirty script to download files with fetch, here it is:

Code:
#!/bin/sh

while true ;do
  fetch -F -a -q -r -R ${1} &
  sleep 3
  pid=`pidof fetch | cut -d ' ' -f 1`
  kill -9 "${pid}"
  if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
    exit
  fi
  sleep 3
done


maybe you got some tips how to improve it or maybe know other ways to break through the network speed limit, maybe some app, some aggressive download manager, anything.

any suggestions welcome

I suggest you look for a new service provider because, if you continue to attempt to violate their policies, you will likely lose service soon.

I am quite willing to do so, I only made the suggestion because of the terminal clause of to topic head post.

Try to not do anything which will cause other customers problems.
