Boost ur net speed :)

[almighty]

Hi mates, today while surfing i came across a site which have lots of tweaks for boosting bandwidth speed , i tried it and get awesome result,
i ve GPRS connection and i use to get an average of 6-7 kBps only but after applying tweaks its just double :)
now am getting 14-15 kBps :D




so i thot to share these gr8 tweaks with u


SOURCE

Here are Registry Tweaks and Scroll down to see Patches

1.Increase bandwidth by tweaking QoS in Windows XP Pro

The following tweak applies only to Windows XP Professional edition.

The default system behavior is that all 100% bandwidth is available, however, if there is a running application that indicates to the OS it needs to send high priority/real time data, then as long as it has the socket open, Windows XP will restrict “best effort” traffic to 80% of the bandwidth so that high priority traffic can be accommodated. Basically, applications can make this request to the operating system for QoS support using the QoS application programming interfaces (APIs) in Windows and this only applies if a specific app is requesting QoS.

If you'd like to change how much bandwidth is reserved for QoS (the default is 20% of the total bandwidth), do the following:

1. Make sure you're logged in as "Administrator" (not just any account with admin privileges).
2. Navigate to START>Run and type: gpedit.msc
3. Navigate to Local Computer Policy > Administrative Templates > Network > QOS Packet Scheduler
4. In the right window, double-click the limit reservable bandwidth setting
5. On the setting tab, check the enabled setting.
6. Where it says "Bandwidth limit %", change it to read 0 (or whatever percentage you want to reserve for high priority QoS data)
7. Click OK, close gpedit.msc

Under START > My Computer > My Network Connections > View Network Connections, right-click on your connection and under Properties (where it lists your protocols), make sure QOS Packet Scheduler is enabled.



The tweak desribed below helps boost priority for DNS & hostname resolution in general. What this means is, it helps web pages load faster, and has negligible effect on downloads (not counting the couple of ms gain with the host resolution at connect-time).

Applying this tweak assumes some proficiency in editing the Windows Registry using Regedit (Start > Run > type: regedit). As always, backup your Registry before making any changes so you can revert to the previous state if you don't like the results.


2.Host Resolution Priority Tweak
host name resolution priority
Windows 2k/XP

First, open the Windows Registry using Regedit, and (after backing up) navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\Tcpip\ServiceProvider



Note the following lines (all hex dwords):
Class = 008 (8) - indicates that TCP/IP is a name service provider, don't change.

LocalPriority = 1f3 (499) - local names cache
HostsPriority = 1f4 (500) - the HOSTS file
DnsPriority = 7d0 (2000) - DNS
NetbtPriority = 7d1 (2001) - NetBT name-resolution, including WINS

What we're aiming to do is increase the priority of the last 4 settings, while keeping their order. The valid range is from -32768 to +32767 and lower numbers mean higher priority compared to other services. What we're aiming at is lower numbers without going to extremes, something like what's shown below should work well:

Change the "Priority" lines to:
LocalPriority = 005 (5) - local names cache
HostsPriority = 006 (6) - the HOSTS file
DnsPriority = 007 (7) - DNS
NetbtPriority = 008 (8) - NetBT name-resolution, including WINS

Windows 9x/ME

The tweak is essentialy the same as in Windows 2000/XP, just the location in the Registry is slightly different. For a more detailed description see the Windows 2000/XP section above.

Open the Windows Registry using Regedit, and (after backing up) navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\VxD\MSTCP\ServiceProvider

You should see the following settings:
Class=hex:08,00,00,00

LocalPriority=hex:f3,01,00,00
HostsPriority=hex:f4,01,00,00
DnsPriority=hex:d0,07,00,00
NetbtPriority=hex:d1,07,00,00

The "priority" lines should be changed to:
LocalPriority=hex:05,00,00,00
HostsPriority=hex:06,00,00,00
DnsPriority=hex:07,00,00,00
NetbtPriority=hex:08,00,00,00

Reboot for changes to take effect.


In addition to the tweaks already covered in Win 2k/XP Registry Tweaks and More Win 2k/XP Tweaks, the Windows XP Service Pack 2 introduces a few new issues covered in the article below. Please make sure you understand what you are doing before making any changes to your Operating System. Note the information below only applies to Windows XP Service Pack 2.



3.Remove the limit on TCP connection attempts

Windws XP SP2 introduces a few new twists to TCP/IP in order to babysit users and "reduce the threat" of worms spreading fast without control. In one such attempt, the devs seem to have limited the number of possible TCP connection attempts per second to 10 (from unlimited in SP1). This argumentative feature can possibly affect server and P2P programs that need to open many outbound connections at the same time.

Rant: The forward thinking of Microsoft developers here is that you can only infect 10 new systems per second via TCP/IP ?!?... If you also consider that each of those infected computers will infect 10 others at the same rate:
second 1: 1+10 computers
second 2: 10+10*10 computers (110 new ones)
second 3: 10+100*10 computers ( 1110 new ones)
second 4: 10+1000*10 computers (11110 new ones)
....
all the way to 10*60 + 10^60 computers in a single minute (that's a number with 60 digits, or it would far exceed Earth's population). Even if we consider that 90% of those computers are unreachable/protected, one would still reach ALL of them within a minute.

In other words, even though it is not going to stop worm spreading, it's going to delay it a few seconds, limit possible network congestion a bit, and limit the use of your PC to 10 connection attempts per second in the process ! I have no problem with the new default setting limiting outbound connection attempts. Still, users should have the option to easily disable or change this setting. I might be going out on a limb here, but ever since the introduction of Windows XP I can't help thinking that I dislike all the bult-in Windows "wisardry" in a sense that the system also limits user access. That irritating trend to ease the mental load on end users is somewhat insulting, considering that Windows is to make the more "intelligent" choice instead of the end user, as well as limit their access to tuning such settings...
End of rant.

With the new implementation, if a P2P or some other network program attempts to connect to 100 sites at once, it would only be able to connect to 10 per second, so it would take it 10 seconds to reach all 100. In addition, even though the setting was registry editable in XP SP1, it is now only possible to edit by changing it directly in the system file tcpip.sys. To make matters worse, that file is in use, so you also need to be in Safe mode in order to edit it.

You only need to worry about the number of connection attempts per second if you have noticed a slowdown in network programs requiring a number of connections opened at once. You can check if you're hitting this limit from the Event Viewer, under System - look for TCP/IP Warnings saying: "TCP/IP has reached the security limit imposed on the number of concurrent TCP connect attempts". Keep in mind this is a cap only on incomplete outbound connect attempts per second, not total connections. Still, running servers and P2P programs can definitely be affected by this new limitation. Use the fix as you see fit.

To change or remove the limit, you can use the following program:

Event ID 4226 Patcher v2.11

Code:
http://www.speedguide.net/files/xp_s...tch211a-en.zip

- A patching program for removing or changing the limit imposed on connection attempts in SP2. The patcher has the ability to restore tcpip.sys back to the original... Still, you might want to back up tcpip.sys, use it at your own risk. The author of this patch can be reached @ http://www.lvllord.de/

4. Recommended settings for Windows 2000 / XP
Windows 2000 & XP, unlike NT supports large windows as described in RFC1323 ( the 'RcvWindow' has a maximum value of 2**30 rather than 64K), and includes some other improvements over its predecessors you can use to speed up any TCP/IP transfers. , the descriptions and other options are added to provide you with better understanding and enable you to customize your settings.

All the following entries, unless otherwise noted should be placed in the Windows 2000/XP Registry under the key

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\Tcpip\Parameters

TCPWindowSize

The value of TCP Window in the Windows 2000 Registry is DWORD, representing number of bytes, with range from 0 to 2^30. The recommended values (in red) optimize TCP for any high speed Internet connection and work best in most cases, however if you'd like to use a custom value follow these guidelines:

For best results, the TCPWindow should be a multiple of MSS (Maximum Segment Size). MSS is generally MTU - 40, where MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) is the largest packet size that can be transmitted. MTU is usually 1500 (1492 for PPPoE connections). To determine the MTU value of your ISP, check out the Advanced Registry Editing section of our site.

There are three places in the Windows 2000 Registry where you can add the TCP Window parameter.

HKLM/SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters
GlobalMaxTcpWindowSize="256960" (DWORD, number of bytes) Valid range is from MSS to 2^30. Add the value as a decimal. Note: For best results RWIN has to be a multiple of MSS lower than 65535 times a scale factor that's a power of 2, i.e. 44 x 1460 = 64240 x 2^2 = 256960. If you choose to use a RWIN lower than 65535, you can simply make it multiple of MSS and turn scaling off (Tcp1323Opts=0)

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Param eters
TcpWindowSize="256960" (DWORD, number of bytes) Valid range is from MSS to 2^30. Add the value as a decimal. TcpWindowSize can also exist under TcpipParametersInterface - if added at this location, it overrides the global setting for this particular . Note (10/20/00): Seems MS has found another bug in Windows 2000, the TCPWindowSize should be configured with the global setting (GlobalMaxTcpWindowsSize) rather than this one - Q263088

Note: For best results RWIN has to be a multiple of MSS lower than 65535 times a scale factor that's a power of 2, i.e. 44 x 1460 = 64240 x 2^2 = 256960. If you choose to use a RWIN lower than 65535, you can simply make it multiple of MSS and turn scaling off (Tcp1323Opts=0)

Tcp1323Opts

Tcp1323Opts is a necessary setting in order to enable Large TCPWindow support as described in RFC 1323. Without this parameter, the TCPWindow is limited to 64K.

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Param eters
Tcp1323Opts="1" (DWORD, recommended setting is 1. The possible settings are 0 - Disable RFC 1323 options, 1 - Window scaling but no Timestamp options, 3 - Window scaling and Time stamp options.)

Note: Tcp1323Opts="3" might help in some cases where there is increased packet loss, however generally you'll achieve better throughput with Tcp1323Opts="1", since Timestamps add 12 bytes to the header of each packet.

DefaultTTL

DefaultTTL determines the time in seconds and the number of hops a packet lives. While it does not directly affect speed, a larger value increases the amount of time it takes for a packet to be considered lost, discarded and retransmitted. A value that's too small can cause packets to be unable to reach distant servers at all.

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Param eters
DefaultTTL="64" (DWORD, recommended setting is 64. Other settings that are widely used are 128 and 32)

EnablePMTUDiscovery

When set to 1 (True), TCP attempts to discover MTU automatically over the path to a remote host. Setting this parameter to 0 causes MTU to default to 576 which reduces overall performance over high speed connections. Note that this setting is different than our Windows 9x recommendation.

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Param eters
EnablePMTUDiscovery="1" (DWORD - boolean, valid settings are 0-->False and 1-->True. Many connections perform better with this entry at 1, however, if you prefer to set your upstream to send fixed 1500 packets, you might want to use 0 instead). When set at 1, establishing connections and initial transfer speed might slow down a bit, however you will get better throughput if somewhere in the path large packets need to be fragmented.

EnablePMTUBHDetect

Setting this parameter to 1 (True) enables "black hole" routers to be detected, however it also increases the maximum number of retransmissions for a given segment. In most cases you'd want to keep BHDetect to 0 (False).

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Param eters
EnablePMTUBHDetect="0" (DWORD - boolean, valid settings are 0-->False and 1-->True. Recommended setting is 0)

SackOpts

This parameter controls whether or not SACK (Selective Acknowledgement) support is enabled, as specified in RFC 2018. SACK is especially important for connections using large TCP Window sizes.

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Param eters
SackOpts="1" (DWORD - boolean, recommended setting is 1. Possible settings are 0 - No Sack options or 1 - Sack Option enabled).

TcpMaxDupAcks

This parameter determines the number of duplicate ACKs that must be received for the same sequence number of sent data before "fast retransmit" is triggered to resend the segment that has been dropped in transit.

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Param eters
TcpMaxDupAcks="2" (DWORD - range 1-3, recommended setting is 2).



Patches


This Includes

1. sguide_tweak_2k.zip
Description: Generic patch for Windows XP and Windows 2000 (all versions). This patch will optimize your TCP/IP Registry settings for high speed Internet connections. To install, extract the .inf file first, then double-click (or right-click on filename and choose install from the pull-down menu) and reboot for changes to take effect.

Code:
http://www.speedguide.net/files/sguide_tweak_2k.zip

2.sguide_tweak_2k_pppoe.zip

Description: Generic patch for Windows XP/2000 and DSL connections using PPPoE. This patch will optimize your TCP/IP Registry settings for high speed Internet connections. It is specifically designed for PPPoE DSL connections. To install, extract the .inf file first, then double-click (or right-click on filename and choose install from the pull-down menu) and reboot for changes to take effect.

Code:
http://www.speedguide.net/files/sgui...k_2k_pppoe.zip

3. winxp_dnscache.zip

Description: Patch Windows 2k/XP not to cache failed DNS entries. By default, when a DNS lookup fails (due to temporary DNS problems), Windows still caches the unsuccessful DNS query, and in turn fails to connect to a host regardless of the fact that the DNS server might be able to handle your lookup seconds later. This patch fixes the problem by configuring the DNS client to continue sending queries to an unresponsive network. To install, save to your HD, unzip the .reg file, then double-click the filename.

Web Patches - faster loading of Web Pages

The following patch increases Web page loading speed, by doubling the number of possible concurrent open connections. For example, imagine a web page has 20 images and some text - in order for your browser to get all these files, it opens 2 or 4 concurrent connections, depending on the Web server. Increasing the number of open connections allows for faster retrieving of the data. Please note that the patch sets some values outside of the HTML specs. If you decide to install it, backup your Registry first. Changes will take effect after you reboot. Download the patch appropriate for your OS:

OS: Windows 9x/ME

Code:
http://www.speedguide.net/files/sg_webtweak_9x.zip

OS: Windows 2K/XP/2k3

Code:
http://www.speedguide.net/files/sg_webtweak_2k.zip

TCP OPTIMISER

Description: The TCP Optimizer is a free, easy Windows program that provides an intuitive interface for tuning and optimizing your Internet connection. Just download and run, there is no installaion required. The program makes it easy to find the best MTU and RWIN values, test latency and tweak all the important broadband related registry parameters. The Optimizer can be helpful with tuning any Internet connection type, from dialup to Gigabit+

can some one tell me how to change the Priority in registery ? I am only able

to change its name and its value

[int86]

trGoing to try.


Pm: Is there EDGE at your place or you using tata indicom.

[ratedrsuperstar]

hey what's your mtu i'm also on airtel gprs

[int86]

mtu?

I am from jamshedpur yaar
nope no EDGE here but am getting that much speed
once i pm u in this regard when my speed sucks, and u told me u r not at ur place...
I am airtel GPRS user only... and u know at nite it goes upto 23-24 kBPS
am using nokia 3230 with original data cable (DKU 2)

@xbonez
yup mate i am using it from yesterday and i downloaded abt 500 mbs

[vish786]

@almighty......

what connection do u hav broadband or dialup...

may be it works only with wireless net connection

[almighty]

i ve airtel GPRS
nope mate its for all types of connection
check out SOURCE

[ax3]

superb find ........ will definately try it ...........

[almighty]

^^^
thanks!!!

[digit i am thinking]

Tried all tricks.
Didn't feel any diff. in Speed.Specially downloading speed.It is same as before.

[almighty]

hain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
did u tried it manualy?
man i am getting just double speed
don know how cum u telling lyk tat
ok am goind to post my screen shot which is abt 23-24 kBps at nite
den u ppl believe me
i think its my mistake to share this tweak with u...
sry i never again post any tutorial lyk this
anyway if u see my image which i ve posted , i am using rapid in flashget
i thot to share it with u mates
but after getting ur responce i don lyk it ne more

[The Outsider]

imo flashget is showing you wrong speeds, i guess every flasghget user knows this

try something like this, its 40kB freeware
http://www.sendspace.com/file/jghb42

note the readings through it when u see 13-14kBps in flashget.

i think its my mistake to share this tweak with u...
sry i never again post any tutorial lyk this
anyway if u see my image which i ve posted , i am using rapid in flashget
i thot to share it with u mates
but after getting ur responce i don lyk it ne more

Everyone got the right to express their opinions and thats what they are doing, even if you're really gettin that much speed the others may or may not get it with the tweaks you mentioned so theres really no need to get negative and yeah never stop sharing

[Choto Cheeta]

@almighty

Without any tricks or TIPS

Simple AirTel Connection with Nokia 5200 gime me this, dont need to impliment any tric

Tried with Microsoft Servers,



and then also with Symantec Servers with DAP



This is constant !!!!

man i am getting just double speed
don know how cum u telling lyk tat
ok am goind to post my screen shot which is abt 23-24 kBps at nite

see i am too getting double speed, so thats right, but unlike u, I dont have implimented any Tricks simple installation of Nokia PC suite software with DATA Cable drivers... !!!! and AirTel Dialing number thats it...

I am also getting 24kbps constant non stop day or night but without any trick u said... !!!

@xbonez

I am sure you know the diffrence between kbps ann kBps.
A non-EDGE network cant support data transfer over 48 kbps=6kBps.
So you cant surf without a EDGE network with such speeds.
But if your place got EDGE than its first in your(our) state.

[Choto Cheeta]

But guyes, I tested AirTel for 2/3 days, and hell yeah I feel it will give UL 900 run for its money

I dont own a AirTel + Nokia 5200 i asked my frnd to give his one for Few Days for testing purpose...

So results were really impressing...

I hear Nokia 5700 gives better speeds constant 28-29 kbps, will give it a try, have requested another frnd to give his phone for few days lets see what hepps with that...


P.S. with Nokia 5200 I am yet to test in torrents, as i cant think of any thing to download... and when downloading u cant surf for sure... speeds drops a lot if i use Browsers or other internet activites

Also tried Voice Chat in Yahoo, doesnt work good !!! lot of Lags !!!

[int86]

@Choto Cheeta
What I am talking is the network support. In kolkata you have EDGE thats why you acheive those whooping speed.
But places which does not have Edge cant experience more than 6kBps.

@chester
We can falsify his speed tests but he told than he downloaded 500 MB in one day.

Waiting for almighty to clarify.

[vish786]

@chocheeta...

does the trick only work on airtel mobile interent connection, or other airtel wired internet connection ?? plz someone confirm this... coz the trick looks too long given by almighty.

[Choto Cheeta]

@Choto Cheeta

True... !!! we have EDGE....

but consider my comment on UL 900 Vs this Rs. 249/- UL from AirTel PrePaid !!!

I tested for 3days now, speeds are really woooping high all most matching UL 900's 29-30 kbps, hope to archive that with that mentioned 5700 which runs GPRS/EDGE Class 32, compare to 5200 which is on GPRS/EDGE Class 10

Yaar, there is No Trick in my settings

I already wrote.... its simple, Installation of Nokia PC Suite + Data Cable driver, and AirTel Dialup number setup *99#, thats it...

No trick whats so ever, gives 24kbps constant day out nigh it... yes on busy hours its down to 20-21, but that too is pretty good...

P.S. Can any one tell me Whats the Lowest cost for one GPRS/EDGE Class 32 based handset ??

[int86]

never heard any phone more than class 12.

[Choto Cheeta]

^^^^

Here u go few Class 32 which I know

http://www.gsmarena.com/nokia_5700-1936.php << Nokia 5700

http://www.gsmarena.com/nokia_e65-1860.php << E65

More details from Official site u can get in here, http://forum.nokia.com/devices/matrix_all_1.html

P.S. One more thing, even on the phone, using Mobile Opera, I see I can download Files from HTTP based sites with a hell lot of a speed poor thing is this perticuler phone I am testing have only 512MB Card

[int86]

What speed you mentioned 30kBps(236 kpbs) is top speed of a Class 10 Edge network.
So though you have a class 32 Edge phone you are experiencing class 10 Edge speed because of network limitation.

[Choto Cheeta]

I dont have any Offcial or even unofficial info that exactly how high AirTel can go... !!!

I See that with 5200 i am getting almost max of its speed... !!! so, its trial and error for me, untill i test the 5700 with higher connectivity speeds !!!

so would be able to see then whether AirTel can push up to its Highest speed or not...

Waiting for almighty to clarify.

i don know airtel is providing EDGE or not here
AFAIK bihar and jharkhand dont ve EDGE... i wrote lots of mails to airtel nodal in this regard. i called up C.Care and they told me EDGE is under testing
but i cant get one thing b4 appling any trick i was geting 6-7 kBps only, but now its 14-15 kBps ....
am d.wing 45 mbs per hr min....and at nite its abt 55-60 mbs
i think Airtel is taking me as dere privilege customer
i must say this trick work for me...

imo flashget is showing you wrong speeds, i guess every flasghget user knows this

try something like this, its 40kB freeware
http://www.sendspace.com/file/jghb42

note the readings through it when u see 13-14kBps in flashget.

@ Chester:
LOL u know wat... u r ryte mate,flashget shows wrong bandwidth its abt 17-18 kBps average
awai i ve Bandwidth meter too but never checked my speed dere but aldo's net monitor shows 16 kBps den i checked at Bandwidth meter and its 16 kBps average
LOL
249 UL airtel
if i d.w min 500 mbs in a day
so its 15 GB in a month
so its abt rs. 17 per GB not a bad deal for me atleast

[The Outsider]

50mb per hour musta be cause of edge or you're just too lucky
good on you mate, have fun

[almighty]

yaar u know one month back am geting abt 1-2 kBps only , i made hell lot of complains to cc and nodal officer
may b that helped me but this trick works coz 2 days back i was geting 6-7 kBps only and can d.w only 15-16 mbs in one hr
but now its just double-triple

[azzu]

this trick is workin for me to .btw iam too usin airtel gprs
