   About once every six months, I move data from my company's servers to a   
   local 500 GB drive. I need to download about 80 GB from this out-of-state   
   server.   The best sustained download rate I am getting is about 425 kbps.   
   The aggregate rate over the past nine days of 250 kbps with restarts after   
   disconnects.   At this rate, it will take 30+ days.  My connection is   
   extreme fast - repeatedly, I am get 4000 - 5000 kbps   
      
   1) Are there any client applications that will improve the speed?  I can't   
   alter the server or VPN in any way.  Moreover, these files don't exist on an   
   FTP.   
      
   2) Do any of these download accelerators help the fundamental transfer   
   speed?   
      
   3) Would a download manager help assist for broken downloads?  The   
   connections comes down about once ever two days.   
      
      
   Data:   
   Cisco VPN client   
   Cable modem for connectivity   
      
   thanks in advance
