Overclock your internet..

[bias_hjorth]

No not really but pretty darn close :D Actually there´s indeed a performance gain by using the attached .reg file
Download --> Unpack --> doubleclick on the Inet.reg file to install it and you´re set

Notice the performance gain when surfing on the net.
I´ve been using this on winxp for years now and it works like a charm.

Plz. let me know how it goes :up:


*edit: Try and surf around on a site you usually uses, then download the reg. - The gain is easily noticed then. (ex. msn.com)

[Henrik-]

Nothing gained here.. The surfing is the same og I cant download any faster than normal ( ~ 430 kb/s ) ..... Mayby it work on slower connections...

[bias_hjorth]

Really? Tried rebooting your pc?
I´ve gained a small boost on almost any pc i´ve install it on - and I am on 4 mbit too btw -
The reg. allows more connections to be made.

...what exactly does it DO!?

[Poki]

If you don't mind me asking, what reg string value is this?

I did a reboot before testing... Tried servers like dailyrush, boomtown and a couple more - Nothing gained.

Is this just for Internet in general, or is it just for Internet Explorer? I'm using Firefox, don't want to install something that does nothing.

There is already a tweak that enhances Firefox for those with broadband. Saw it at the Inq, might post the link later, does anyone else know about it?

Try TCP Optimizer (http://www.speedguide.net/files/TCPOptimizer.exe) from SpeedGuide.net (http://www.speedguide.net/)

Stop using IE, get Firefox or Opera.

:toast: The next step up is to stop using Windows... but I don't expect many people 'round these parts to be doing that anytime soon. Hey, you've got to crawl before you can walk!

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20050124

Probably won't have any effect for me. ;)

These are two keys it creates/modifies.

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Internet Settings]
"MaxConnectionsPerServer"="8"

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Internet Settings]
"MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server"="16"

I got a nice speed increase by tweaking the maxMTU and TCP recieve windows settings using this as a guide.

This should help any connection regardless if you are running IE or Firefox, or anyother browser for that matter. It changes how the TCP protocol talks to any server on the internet and is independant of browser type.

Your speed increase is coming at the cost of bandwidth for the site operators. The more connections you instantiate per session the more bandwidth on that site you utilize. If you browse a site often enough, and the site op. can't pay for the extra expense you are causing him, one of your favorite sites might go out of business! Please don't use this `hack`, as all it does is drive up the cost of operating a website for the people whose content you'd like to support. At least give them the courtesy of conserving some of their overhead. /rant

same download speed :( 750-760k/s

actually all this does is request more data at once. Same bandwidth useage, shorter (depending on the connection) time period.

The .reg file is only good for IE.

[smokey]

That is not true. You are filling your pipe with as many connections as possible. Whereas if you were using the minimum connection limit, the server isn't getting nearly the load. The effect on both server usage and bandwidth usage has been proven and documented already through the FF network.http.pipelining and network.http.pipelining.maxrequests settings. The exact same effect is created via this .reg.

[STEvil]

If a page has 72k of data to load through 4 connections to the clients machine it has 72k of data to load.

If a page has 72k of data to lad through 8 connections to the clients machine it has 72k of data to load.

Do you see the common factor?

This registry tweak only changes the concurrent number of connections the client can make to the page (thus downloading 8 images at a time from a page with 100 images vs. 4 at a time for example) and does not affect total bandwidth used.

Load will be dependant on how much the server and the client connection can withstand (and this given an optimum connection this would not change significantly anyways since 4 streams of data at 50k/sec each is equal to the same as 8 streams of data at 25k each).

[bias_hjorth]

:up: Apprently works only on IE - I´ve never been using anything else. You could edit the reg allowing even more connections but I dont think there´s any gain made - To many would probably kill you internet connection :D

[Staphy]

Does this do the QOS reserved bandwidth hack ?

[Huigie]

same download speed :( 750-760k/s

OMG, that's just plain awfull...
:moon:

:D

Perhaps if I knew what it was :confused: :p:

Might go out of business - No not even close - I recon you wont even notice a different in terms of server stability here on xs;)

lmao exactly wat i thought :D

I think >16 to 32 is about tops. Been using this tweak for a while.. forgot about it once I moved to firefox. :p:

[bxa121]

if you use too many connections to server, then he server would think its a hack attack like a denial of service or somit.
it would then block your connection to it.
keep the max connections below 100, cos itll screw up the server at the other end!

[Napoleonic]

are there available freeware or a trick to boost a dial up connection?

[STEvil]

no.
