Basically this means how big the buffer is for receiving data, for example
You download a file
your PC says send me 16kb
your pc downloads 16kb and sends a tcp reply for another 16kb
during this time your not downloading, however with about 200ms lag you can download full speed just fine with even 300k/sec broadband
But the internet is usually allot worse than that.
So lets increase your computers TCP window to 128K
1.: Click start and select run
2.: type regedit and click ok
3.: Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CURRENTCONTROLSET/SERVICES/TCPIP/PARAMETERS
Now you create 3 Values.
Right click in the Right pane and create 3 DWORD Values Named
1. TcpWindowSize
2. Tcp1323Opts
3. GlobalMaxTcpWindowSize
Right click 1. and choose modify
Select Hexadecimal and enter 20148
Ok
Right click 2. and choose modify
Select Hexadecimal and enter 3
Ok
Right click 3. and choose modify
Select Hexadecimal and enter 20148
Ok
Should look Like this.
With p2p like Bittorrent this doesn't make much difference unless the other peer your getting data from has a similar tweak, but knowing the internet, your probably connected to several that have tweaked
This works really well with downloads from http servers on the net like downloading a MS patch or getting the latest thing of sourceforge.
Also this isn't recommended if you have 56k dialup
You must Restart your computer for the settings to take effect, do you want to restart now ?
*Yes
Thank you for tweaking using a Visentinel Guide.
