increase your broadband connection speed ( for windows xp users)

Internet Broadband

this one is pretty simple:
this is for broad band connections. (MAY work on dial up as well)
1.make sure your logged on as "Administrator". do not log on with any account that just has administrator privileges.
2. start - run - type gpedit.msc
3. expand the "local computer policy" branch
4. expand the "administrative templates" branch
5. expand the "network branch"
6. Highlight the "QoS Packet Scheduler" in left window
7. in right window double click the "limit reservable bandwidth" setting
8. on setting tab check the "enabled" item
9. where it says "Bandwidth limit %" change it to read 0
reboot if you want to but not necessary on some systems your all done. it is effective on some systems. some need to be re booted.

This is more of a "counter what XP does" thing. In other words, XP seems to want to reserve 20% of the bandwidth for its self. Even with QoS disabled, even when this item is disabled. So why not use it to your advantage. To demonstrate the problem with this on stand alone machines start up a big download from a server with an FTP client. Try to find a server that doesn't max out your bandwidth. In this case you want a slow to medium speed server to demonstrate this. Let it run for a couple of minutes to get stable. The start up another download from the same server with another instance of your FTP client. You will notice that the available bandwidth is now being fought over and one of the clients download will be very slow or both will slow down when they should both be using the available bandwidth. Using this "tweak" both clients will have a fair share of the bandwidth and will not fight over the bandwidth.
:D :D enjoy

If you really wanna speed up your connection, just download Throttle 6 (cracked version, use warez links), install it and run it once. It speeds up the internet for 200%!! Great little program. A real godsend, heh. :D

[saggar]

[Crystalys]

thanks...:)
plz email me the best warez download sites which is safe of course, that you frequently visit...email me at "saltedcandies@yahoo.com"

Oh, I don't know if it's going to work with a dial-up connection. I didn't know some people still use that. :D

I tried this over the weekend and noticed very significant changes in my speed. However, since the previously reserved 20% bandwith was allocated by Windows XP OS for updates and spyware detection, does this mean that our system is vulnerable to attack??? Look forward to constructive help.
