Increase Your Bandwidth By 20%

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Psched

Create the following:
Data Type: DWORD Value
Value Name: NonBestEffortLimit
Setting for Value Data: [Enter as a Percentage / Default Value = 20]


I'm not positive... but it sounds about right


EDIT: Yep, the value was 0, I changed it through gpedit and checked it again, and it changed to the same number.

Do I win a prize?

EDIT2: Looks like the other 2 settings, "Set Timer Resolution" and "Limit Outstanding Packets" are also in that same key...

Outstanding packets - DWORD, MaxOutstandingSends (name of value), base = decimal

Set Timer Resolution - DWORD, TimerResolution (name of value), base = hex value

I could whip up a quick VB program to allow you home users to do this without the registry editor (for those reg-o-phobics out there)

how you use it?

 

[rbxslvr]

how you use it?

My program? You extract, install (I can't make a just plain old executable file for some reason), select your percentage (0% is what you want). After that, you can uninstall if you want... (don't worry, not sypware or anything... scan if you wish).

It might require a restart to have any effect. It does the same thing as I posted before, only with a REALLY simple UI

Nice. You mentioned maybe putting it in a .vbs file. That would be smoother, but that's just me. I'm biased in favour of hacks that don't require installation.

Either way, cheers!

I could use the bin in my solution's build... but I wasn't sure if that would work on any system... I'll work that out in about 5 hours (tomorrow) I'm gonna get some sleep

That means you probably don't have the latest .Net Framework.

.Net 3.0

I think all you need is 2.0... so if 3.0 doesn't work, then try 2.0 (Although it should work).

If you own Vista, there will be no need for .Net framework, because it comes standard on Vista

 

[rbxslvr]

Ok... I uploaded the release build... so, try this one (no install required)


It still requires a .Net Framework update, but is less of a hassle because you don't have to install and uninstall. (because this is just a .exe)

you can do it on vista, but i did it on a school computer and our bandwidth is limited at the switch so i cant tell the difference in speeds
