Increase Your Internet Speed
Here I’m giving you some tweaks for your windows system which will increase the speed of your internet connection dramatically. Although I have tried all these tricks in my system and a few other friends system, if you are gonna do it just make a back up of your system so that if something goes bad you dont have to worry about your data. In 1000 tries 999 systems will have no problem but for that 1 single system there is a small probability.
Anyway here are the tricks. Have Fun
1.Event ID 4226 Patcher (4226 fix)
To say it easy: In the default installation of Win XP only 10 half-open connections are there. So by using this patch the half open connections are being increased to 50! After installation restart the system. Be sure to do this.
PS: Some ntivirus system will detect this patcher as potentially unwanted application or system file patcher. Its normal. Dont worry about it. And by the way you can upload the file to VIRUSTOTAL.COM and scan it.
To see the speed difference just notice the max speed you used to get while using torrents before patching. And after patching just goto utorrent preferences(If you are not using utorrent i recommend you, use utorrent). and then select advanced from the left menu. Then on the right side find “net.max.halfopen” then change the value to 100( this is a value somewhat nearer to the value you have given in the Patcher). And then click on set n then restart the utorrent.

2. Change default reserved bandwidth
Microsoft reserves 20% of your available bandwidth for their own purposes like Windows Updates and interrogating your PC etc
You can get it back:
Click Start then Run and type “gpedit.msc” without quotes.This opens the group policy editor. Then go to:
Local Computer Policy
then Computer Configuration
then Administrative Templates then Network then QOS Packet Scheduler and then to Limit Reserved Bandwidth.
Double click on Limit Reserved bandwidth. It will say it is not configured, but the truth is under the ‘Explain’ tab i.e.”By default, the Packet Scheduler limits the system to 20 percent of the bandwidth of a connection, but you can use this setting to override the default.”
So the trick is to ENABLE reserved bandwidth, then set it to ZERO. This will allow the system to reserve nothing, rather than the default 20%.It works on Win 2000 as well.
3. Firefox Optimization
As I have posted a topic solely for this I’m not going to rewrite them.
Here is the link. So be sure to read this also. It works.
