I also have ADSL2+. My machine is an AMD K6 600 MHz with 256 MB RAM.

My wattcp.cfg, which I use for ALL DOS browsers, is just one line:

my_ip = dhcp

With that, I can get speeds up to 700 kb/sec or so, depending on the server,
and depending on the agent I am using.

e.g
Wget is faster than Links281 or Arachne.
Elinks is nearly as fast, or as fast, as Wget.
Htget as almost as fast as Wget.
Arachne typically can download at 300 kb/sec or more, depending on the server.
Links281 can download a 2MB MP3 from my domain in around 3 seconds.

Does this help ?
