Accelerated Internet Speeds

Can anyone help ... are there software which I can use to accelerate my internet speeds for gaming like UT or Q3, surfing and downloading.

I only have a 56K Diamond external modem.

Thanks 🙂
 
This hack really improves your web browsing experience. You will find that web pages show in a fraction of the time they used to. Users of modems and ISDN lines will notice the most dramatic speed increase, ADSL and cable users will also enjoy a hefty boost.

It does however make you a bandwidth pig - if your happy to suck down more than your share of server bandwidth then the hack is cool....

How does it work? Simple really. Internet Explorer 4 and 5 are designed to comply with Hypertext Protocol 1.1. This dictates that the web browser should draw no more than two streams of data from a Web server at any one time. The thing is, your browser is more than capable of getting many more streams than that, and if you want to increase the number it's looking for, you vastly speed up the whole web page down load process.

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings]
"MaxConnectionsPerServer"=dword:00000006

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings]
"MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server"=dword:00000008

If the DWORD isn't there just add them.

The values you enter should be 6 Decimal for MaxConnectionsPerServer & 8 Decimal for MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server

Cool
😉

Howzzat?
 
Shagga I like this hack. I would not be surprised if the moderators deleted it so I have saved it. So I'm antisocial but nobody's perfect!
 
Rigoletto - I've posted this b4. So the mods r prolly using it. 🙂 Muhaha...

Chalphut - Sorry, only for I.E

Beach2nd - No you can't. I got it out of a PC publication ages ago.

😉
 
Neither of these values are there in my registry. There not where you say they are and I did a search for them and it found nothing. Am I supposed to add both of them?
 
could somebody tell me how to perform that hack for windows 2000 (i'm assuming that is for 98, right?)?
thanks..
 
Beach2nd - Yes you just add them. Right click in the righ hand window, select New-->DWord-->Type in the Filename and give it a value as detailed.

or even create a file *.reg and add the text -

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings]
"MaxConnectionsPerServer"=dword:00000006

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings]
"MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server"=dword:00000008

Be careful when ya messing in ya registry.

Guev - Yep, you assume correct. Sorry :frown:
 
Beach2nd -

<< The values you enter should be 6 Decimal for MaxConnectionsPerServer &amp; 8 Decimal for MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server >>



Decimal is the one.

NucleusWDS - Em, thats a shame. Quite a few users have tried it and found to get a increase in speed. Perhaps for you it was just not meant to be.... :frown:

😉
 
In the registray, when you right click on new and then DWORD Value, what name do you give it and how do you add the data and stuff. Can't seem to figure it out.
