This comes from one of my clanmates. He did not note where he found this information just yet. Seems to work very well thus far.
open a browser and type
about:config
change
network.http.pipelining to 'true'
network.http.proxy.pipelining to 'true'
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests to '30'
sit back and hang on.
note: don't bother unless you have a broadband connect.
