RTB Posted July 18, 2004 CID Share Posted July 18, 2004 Your RWIN is pretty big, so if packets start to drop, your speed will drop more than normal. Try halving it or so, you might lose a few kbps, but gain on stability. Odds are, that more people are on your node now, that slows everyone down as well. Unless you have a really bad ISP you shouldn't see much of a difference though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimmer Posted July 18, 2004 CID Share Posted July 18, 2004 He is in the same area and on the same ISP as CA3LE... However, he is also faster than CA3LE... My guess is that you are not going to get much more out of your connection... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disturbed Posted July 18, 2004 Author CID Share Posted July 18, 2004 Thank you for responding Yes....I did what rtb said - i just split my rwin in half, didn't really loose any speed at all - might have gained about 100kb/s (download test) and it's all good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
