my opinion and a fact- Tune up utilities 2k6 beats the heck out of cablenut anyday.
i checked that program out, and one thing is very clear in my point of view, the authors of that program dosent know jack S#!t about TCP tuning
I pretended i had a 6 Mbps cable connection and loaded optimized settings with that program
it changed my TcpWindowSize to 149200 but they forgot to set Windows scaling enabled Tcp1323Opts, that means my RWIN will be stuck at 65535 ( maximal unscaled RWIN ), the very same RWIN you will have by default if you run your NIC in 100Mbps with Windows XP
It also changed MTU to 1492, we all know 95% of all cable connections has a 1500 byte MTU. Why reduce it? It will only result in slower speed, you will see this mainly on transfers over high delay routes. 1492 is a MTU for DSL over PPPoE and FIOS over PPPoE.
take a good look at the screenshot, cablenut has so much more to tweak then the settings Tune up utilities 2k6 using
Im sure its a great program, but not for internet tweaking. If you get better speed with that program then cablenut or TCP optimizer, its a fluke.
Tcp Optimizer is a great tool in my point of view, if you dont want and need AFD tweaks.
ive seen alot of tune up programs, when you take a deeper look at them you dont get very impressed
