Creating a file called config.xml in the directory with the Bonic Tasks exe with the following content as helped my local machine get the data faster because it forces a refresh on the downloads and gets the retries to go sooner. BonicTasks must be restarted to take effect.
<config>
<refresh>
<!-- <downloads> 3600 </downloads>
<uploads> 3600 </uploads> -->
<auto> 600 </auto>
<refresh> 900 </refresh>
</refresh>
</config>

I haven't tried the downloads and uploads options.
