There are several things you can do to increase the "speed" of your computer.
1- Clean up the disk. Uninstall unneeded programs (especially those that run at startup and/or put something in the system tray), run Disk Cleanup, and defragment the drive. This is a good first step that will almost always take a few seconds off boot time and application loads for any computer.
2- Stop auto-starting programs. Click Start > Run and type "msconfig" at the prompt. Click the Startup tab and look at all that junk that loads when you launch your PC. Do you really need "Adobe Reader Speed Launch"? Probably not. Turn off anything else that looks useless, but be careful not to disable your anti-virus and important system components.
3- Run a full anti-virus and anti-spyware scan. I would recommend using AVG Free Anti-virus, Spybot - Search and Destroy spyware remover and Ad-aware spyware remover. These programs are all free.
4-Clean up the registry. CCleaner, available at http://www.ccleaner.com is free and worth running. It will also remove unused files from your system - allowing Windows to run faster and freeing up valuable hard disk space.

Download rate is set on main Router at ISP end. So there is no such way to make download speed faster. All you can do is upgrade your broadband plan. And also check that other softwares are not using your bandwidth.
Your friends might be using better broadband plan than yours.

Well, you can upgrade your internet speed by calling your internet provider. I think that's the best way to do it.

I guess you should upgrade to the fastest speed that you can get .
