maximising download bandwith

Hi all,

I'm in my hotel in Indonesia browsing PPrune with a new CDMA usb gizmo. It seem to work quite well and is economical with a fixed price of about 60 cents US per hour. The device cost USD70 plus USD10 for a prepaid card. I use firefox on an XP laptop. My question is what settings should I select/ deselect to allow max download performance. The quoted rate is 133kb/s but I'm guessing I can be more selective about what uses the bandwidth? i.e. can I choose to download text only? I really don't know...

Cheers
