It's probably a horrible coincidence but after rebooting after doing this mod XP Pro refused to load although choosing to go back to the most recent settings fixed this. It probably didn't help that this XP installation is severely fooked.
I did see a slight increase in download rates, maybe an extra 30KB/s or so.rbxslvr said:Doesn't do anything. I tried it set to 0% and 90% and there was no noticeable difference.

Wow, I'm glad someone bumped this. At speedtest.net I went from 3315kb/s to 3641kb/s... pretty deece increase. Thanks a lot.

I didn't experience any change. Actually I lie... I did, my speeds went down from ~4200 kb/s down to ~3900 kb/s down and ~1300 kb/s up to ~1200 kb/s up.

I followed the exact same instructions.How would you do this on vista?
I remember doing a science project of a certain registry key's effect on a single file's download speed. Let me see if I can dig it up. (That was 2 years ago in 7th grade). I love the registry... if you open up HKEY_Current_User->Control Panel->Colors... that's my latest and greatest obsession. (The active title one is a RGB value for that animation when you minimize or maximize... where the title bar shrinks and travels down to your taskbar. I set it to hot pink... to find out what it did... and have not changed it back yet... pretty annoying)For people not using XPP or Vista Ultimate, there may be a manual registry hack to accomplish this. I'm going to poke around a little and try to see what Registry setting the GPEditor created or changed. Anyone else who does not fear the Registry, feel free to poke around also.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings
10. Now you need to create two files on the right side of the screen. To do so, you need to right-click, click “New”, then “DWORD Value.” The new name should be “MaxConnectionsPerServer”, and “MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server.” Now double click the first one, then select “Decimal” and in the input box, put the number of strings that you want to transfer at the same time. I would start with one, then skip 2, and then do 3-6. You have already done 2, that is why you can skip it. Do the same with the second DWORD that you created, and make sure that you ALWAYS make that value the same as the other one (Don’t forget to change it to Decimal). Now close Regedit and restart your computer.
there is a much easier way to do it.. go to network connection, click on the connection that connects you to the internet, right click on it, select properties - then uncheck "Qos packet scheduler".. see:
compare that to what the walkthrew shows, thats what were doing is adjusting the packer scheduler, so if its diabled.. it cant scheduel anything..vola
