Majestic 12 tweaking guide

[[XC] moddolicous]

This is how a typical connection tab looks:

#1 and #2 are both figures we put in for our downstream and upstream speeds. They increase in measurements of 128. Both of them go up to 102,400. It is not good to go up that high unless you have a fast computer, a fast ISP and a good router. Even when you enter it, you will be receiving URLs at 102mb a sec. It will only go as fast as your ISP will let it. It usually doesn’t hurt to fib a little about your figures. These are just basic measurements of your line. Also, the sliders to the right tell Majestic how much of your line to use. I always keep them at 100% and just change the downstream/upstream values.
#3 is the timeout used when talking to the server, rather than timeout of urls. It is best kept at ten. That is right from the creator of Majestic. Basically, it is how often the client talks to the main server.
#4 no longer applies really. It should be removed, so you can ignore it completely. I actually have no idea what it does, but keeping it low can only speed things up, right?
#5 just keeps a count on how much you uploaded / downloaded. This is useful for people with network caps, but for the lucky uncapped people, you could uncheck this to save some CPU power.
#6 just lets the computer connect straight to the server rather than differently. If you use proxy, this will be ignored.
#7 specifies which NIC to keep track of for #5. You can change it around to keep track of how much you downloaded / uploaded on a different NIC card.
#8 is proxy settings if you use a proxy. I don’t think you have to check Do Not use proxy for uploading if you aren’t using a proxy, but it can’t hurt. That is it for the connection tab.
