Some of you might already know this some might not but I thought I would let you guys know about it. Basically theres a security limit on your TCP/IP connects which can lead to slower download and upload speeds via torrents, p2p and what not. The reason why they put this security limit on was to slow down worms but you know what its not going to stop a worm right so just need to be smart about how high you change it to I say.

Anyways all the info can be found here along with a patcher to do such. I advise you all do to do this at your own risk because I don't know what exactly can happen but from what I've seen my speeds increased a good amount so far and nothing bad has happened yet.

Also when you run the patcher two windows will pop up, one telling you to insert your windows disc which you will just hit cancel and another about restoring your systems old files just hit yes on this box and then all should be good.

It's creates a backup of the file it modifies. Easily replaced.

Mine started out at 50 and asked me to decrease it to 10. Wasn't it suppose to start out at 10 and increase to 50?

Yes so try increasing it to 70 or 100 I would first try 100 and if you don't notice anything drop it down to 70. Also are you running Windows XP SP2?

Also changing your MTU settings can benefit greatly.
Using this tool helps: http://www.speedguide.net/downloads.php
You can check connection speed, Ping, Latency (They are not the same).
And the Faq is located here: http://www.speedguide.net/faq_in.php?category=100
And for Firefox users put this in the address bar: About:Config
And read this: http://www.tweakguides.com/Firefox_1.html

There are plenty of ways of optimizing internet connections.
But unfortunately Theres no way of "Turbo charging" dial-up connections.
