This tutorial written by Shifter shows a great way to tweak your connection to the max.

You may find that you don't always get advertised speeds (download/upload). This is largely due to the Operating System not being fully optimized for such transfers. However, you can tweak your settings to get the most from your connection. This works with either premod/rental modems. Follow the steps below.Windows XP Cablenut Tweak
Thank you to VanBuren over at TMN Windows Vista TCP Tweak Windows Vista has a self tuned RWIN, and it works fine. Microsoft hasn't realeased much info about specific TCP registry keys yet, but I've been testing some of the keys from Windows XP. Turned out the DefaultSendWindow also works with Vista. The things you need to do if you have Vista and cant reach 90% of advertised speed, beside the points in this sticky are:
Thank you to VanBuren over at TMN This information is widely available at my other community TestMy.Net. Please keep in mind that TMN is not an uncapping community and is solely about gaining more speed by way of tweaking. If you visit the site, steer clear of any conversation regarding anything related to uncapping as it's not allowed. If you choose to register a user-name, it would be great if you would prefix it with "Theoryshare_" (e.g. Theoryshare_user-name). This will allow me to identify Theoryshare members when they are looking for help over there on the main boards (as well as through personal messages). The Shifter Custom.ccs file works great on a universal level, but the expert at designing .ccs files specifically for your connection is a guy who goes by the name of VanBuren. He is a fellow staff member of mine over at TMN and can create you a custom .ccs file upon request. As you can see from his sig, his speeds are unbelievable. Well, I hope that this guide helps out in the speed department and many of you see improvements. Between both sites (TS & TMN) you will get results. |
