lorne Posted January 16, 2004 CID Share Posted January 16, 2004 Bob Welcome to the forum Bob, the easiest I can think of to increase your speed would be to download the tcp optimizer. Download it, backup up current settings by going to file and choosing back up current settings. Than choose your type of internet connection, restart when it asks you to. You should see a difference in speed If you want to try and make it even faster there are a couple other simple things you can do like calculating your optimum RWIN and changing the default RWIN on the optimizer. If your interested in this post it and ill tell you how. Hope that helps Here is the link https://www.speedguide.net/downloads.php Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/134-small-tips-on-speed-basic/#findComment-1185 Share on other sites More sharing options...

_BoB_ Posted January 18, 2004 Author CID Share Posted January 18, 2004 your using cable? yeah cable downloads are really huge, im in chicago though and at times u can feel a lag with cable due the huge amount of users in such a small area. ADSL is the better choice for me. although i dont have a big download it still gets the job done. u know what i mean? of course its awesome to have a 4meg speed;p Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/134-small-tips-on-speed-basic/#findComment-1260 Share on other sites More sharing options...
lorne Posted January 18, 2004 CID Share Posted January 18, 2004 Bob Yeah I'm on cable which is still fairly new around here so its not very often that i get some real bad lag.

_BoB_ Posted January 18, 2004 Author CID Share Posted January 18, 2004 yes i know people living outside the city that get big speeds mainly because there arent tons of people sucking on the bandwith, like kids downloading movies etc. all day long so they get monster speeds also.
