I don't believe it will increase your speed at all. But, if you are behind a router
your windows firewall is useless and un-needed anyways.

It WILL increase your D/L speed...minimally....like previously posted..if you,re
behind a router..the software Firewall is bloat at best...and if its M$,s...its garbage.

Download speed limits are caused by the slowest points between you and the source
code. This point is almost always outside of your house (and usually a data "bottleneck").
Download large files during off-peak hours.
If your pc is causing the slowdown, the best bet is adding memory.
