Its works!

[VFR_Pierre]

Old thread but whatever, it's awesome!

[nickfink]

Oh, I found this like two days ago. Doubled mine and my friends internet speeds.  I used to get about 6-8k at speedtest.net, and now I get 12-16k, and my friend, who used to get about 14k now gets 25k on it now.  

This is a very amazing trick. I am so surprised it took me so long to hear about it.

Great find.

Currently I am paying for 8mb a month from VIRGIN but because of my area or something I am only getting 1mb ;l Just going to install this now and see if there is a difference

Make web pages load up faster...

Quote

On IE (Internet explorer).

Internet Explorer

According to the HTTP specs, only a limited number of simultaneous connections to web servers are allowed, while loading web pages. With today's broadband connections, it is beneficial to increase the number of concurrent connections to reduce page loading time. To increase the number of concurrent connections, add the following entries to the Windows Registry (the settings are not present by default):

Navigate to Start > Run, type: regedit , find the following locations and add the DWORD values:

HKEY_USERS.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings
"MaxConnectionsPerServer"=dword:00000010
"MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server"=dword:00000010

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings
"MaxConnectionsPerServer"=dword:00000010
"MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server"=dword:00000010

Note: Keep in mind that setting those values exceed the HTTP RFC specs. Increasing the number of concurrent connections over 10 may cause problems with some websites not completely loading, or dropping/retransmitting some requests. If you experience problems, just reduce the numbers to a lower value, or remove the settings above to return to the Windows defaults (4 and 2 concurrent connections).

Alternatively, to apply the above tweak, you can download a web patch (sguide_webtweak_2k) from the download section of the website.

While these entries improve web page loading considerably, there is some concern that they tend to strain webservers more (they increase bursts of concurrent requests), but have no effect on average throughput.

On firefox

Firefox

Pipelining requests

This setting is equivalent to the IE tweak above. It allows for more simultaneous connections to web servers. Note that the HTTP specs suggest for 4 concurrent connections. Setting this value to 10 allows for more web page components being downloaded at the same time, noticeably improving browsing. To appy the tweak, follow the simple instructions below:

    1. In the address bar, type:  about:config
    2. Locate and change the following values (by double-clicking on them):
    network.http.max-connections = 24 (default is 24)
    network.http.max-connections-per-server = 10 (default is 8)
    network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy = 8  (default is 4)
    network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server = 4 (default is 2)
    network.http.pipelining = true (default is false)
    network.http.pipelining.maxrequests = 10 ( default is 4)
    network.http.proxy.pipelining  = true (default is false)

    3. Optionally, you can also tweak the following settings:
    content.notify.backoffcount  = 5
    ui.submenuDelay = 0

Note: Setting the number of connections per server to a much higher number (over ~10) can cause web servers to drop some requests, resulting in incomplete pages, increased retransmissions, etc., so it is not recommended.



Reduce Initial Page Delay

By default, Firefox waits 0.25 seconds (250ms) before beginning to draw web pages. To reduce this initial delay, do the following:

    1. In the browser address bar, type: about:config
    2. Anywhere in the browser window, right-click and create: NEW > String
    3. Name the string:  nglayout.initialpaint.delay  (no spaces) and set its value to 0 (or something sensible, in milliseconds).

Note: This setting is not present by default.

Thanks to you,

Rogers Now offers me 110% of what i paid for , it used to offer about 92%

Thanks man,

Thankyou..I see a big difference loading pages while browsing...!

Speedtest.net is unreliable i  suggest this.

We pay for 8MB, I only downloaded at a max of 250KB's per second, tried using this and no difference.

You pay for up to 8mb.

[Mr-Sim]

Yes but I don't get even half of that.

[TechnicolorYawn]

On seeing this, I was dubious to say the least, but it really does work!

I got 2500Kb/s about an hour ago when I tried the speed test but didn't run the optimiser as I had some stuff running. Just speed tested again, ran the optimiser and tested again after a reboot. 1500Kb/s before, 4500Kb/s after. It'll be interesting to see if I do actually notice any speed gains over the next few days. It may just be that I happened to have a fast connection at that moment, but fingers crossed.

Since bigflyersmallbyer is in the UK--does this work with U.S. DLS--not cable.

[-Dexter]

The application has been out for quite a while- but it never fails in boosting bandwidth. . I pay my ISP for ~2 Mbit, and I get nearly ~3.5 Mbit on rare occasions.

You mean "DSL". Firefox spell checker flagged it.

[xclusiv8]

I pay for 24mbit and i get around 20-22mbit on speedtest.net on most servers

[franthree]

Yes DSL I mean

[Mr-Sim]

Why is mine not boosting? I don't get half for what I pay for

You're not understanding what I'm saying, you will get UP TO 8mb, there is no guarantee on the speed you will receive.
