I know, im just putting it into terms everyone can understand. The average kid playing games will look at you funny if you talk about latency.

I tried it but unfortunatally I didn't really notice any real chang in speed.

Doesn't matter though... I'll give it a bit longer to see if I notice a difference or not.

Otherwise i'll just change it back.

jorbanks -> Heh. And I didn't notice any real change in speed. I think it work when you use 2 applications. For exemple if you download some file with download manager on maximum speed and wants browse internet with you IE. You IE will use 20% bandwidth and download manager 80%.

WOW! This is a great modification to your Windows XP computer. Thanks so much for this soleimanian, I've been looking for a technique like this for quite some time now. For me programs such as Morpheus and Limewire have been taking up a fair bit of my bandwidth but when I inputted this modification into my Windows XP computer, I suddenly found my downloads and connections speeding up and much faster. I was wondering also, do you know or have any more tips like this because I feel that I still need more bandwidth!

If this modification speeds up connections within Windows XP, then I think and hope that connections and bandwidth will be much faster than this in the new upcoming Windows Vista. The Windows Vista has high expectations but if modifications like this for the Windows XP computers are much better than the Windows Vista, then many people will just keep on buying the XP instead of the Vista and just use more of these modifications.

Thanks again for this soleimanian. Very useful!

"gpedit.msc" didnt exist in my home edition xp.

but a couple of days back i installed this great piece of software tcp optimizer and i just chose the 'optimal settings' option in it...and i tell you the difference was telling! my internet download and browsing speed improved considerably.

it basically increases the number of tcp/ip connections that can be established with a server we are communicating with. as you may know, microsoft in its service pack 2 for xp , though as great it was a service pack, decided to reduce and limit the number of tcp/ip connections to increase stability.

by using this tweak you can be sure you squeeze out every inch of your bandwidth for maximum speed. downloaddownload it now if you dont have it yet!


cheers!
