Good link, Q.

Hello All,

Any questions you have please pop into the forum and shout

not too loud I might wake up

I see you have had the same problem with spammers

My ask if you could let me have the code for the math Turin, nice one.

Rather than post code on the public forums, you have a PM.

Hatari · Feb 06, 2010, 13:00:37

Many thanks for the welcome.

I will have a close look at the info in the PM

Simon · Feb 06, 2010, 13:01:18

Have had a closer look at this site and have to say it does offer some extremely useful advice. So much so I have followed some of the advice given and increased my download speed by .5 Mb from 6.5 to 7.0 plus.

The increase was achieved by simply following a few simple instructions. Definitely worth a look! I learned that it is not only down to your ISP service to achieve a better speed but 'sharpening' up your PC can make a difference.

Steve · Feb 08, 2010, 18:02:36

Can you enlighten us further Q?

Hatari · Feb 08, 2010, 18:06:02

Glad we could help quandam. Did you join the Community while you were there .

Steve
I would rather not as changes to PC settings are very personal and work for some and not for others. I think the advice offers tried and tested remedies but as I say, actions taken are a personal decision, however, it has worked for me.

No, couldn't find the link

Steve · Feb 08, 2010, 18:13:11

Its the button labeled Forum at the top of their webpage

quandam · Feb 08, 2010, 18:19:14

Possibly it would help if it was labled 'register' or the like? I wasn't looking to enter a forum at this stage.

quandam · Feb 08, 2010, 18:29:22

Found it!

Thanks Steve.

Just taken the speed test here.

Haven't managed this speed for around 9 months or so.

Steve · Feb 08, 2010, 18:46:10

Looking good ,I think for anyone running XP optimising RWIN and MTU are worth a shot, at least since Vista the optimisation is now done automatically

quandam · Feb 08, 2010, 18:52:23

Absolutely Steve. Exactly what I decided to do with the desired results

It can also help to make sure that the Vista settings are correct. Only yesterday we had a case where they were incorrect.

Steve · Feb 08, 2010, 20:14:37

If Vista autotunes each interface that uses TCP/IP won't "fixing" one break the others?

Hatari · Feb 08, 2010, 20:18:48

Depends how you do it Steve. The tweaks are not adaptor tweaks but OS tweaks.

Steve · Feb 08, 2010, 20:36:45

Thanks

Well I have just run it on my Windows 7 64-bit system and I had to change 3 of the parameters (Chimney Offload State-enabled, Congestion Provider-ctcp, ECN Provider-enabled) and it has given me a definite speed improvement from around 6.5/6.8Mb/s to 7Mb/s.
