Hi guys, I lowered the DefaultSendWindow to 49152 and kept 37960 for the TCP Window Size. Just tested at Speakeasy NY and got 2930 and 360 . Downloaded the Roadrunner test file (50 megs) from the Rochester RR site in 2:21. I think that I am going to leave everything just where it is now. I may try ...

Mazakman

Thank you sir. I just did not know if any of the settings needed to be changed or not. At every nearby Speakeasy site, I am seeing 2900 to 2940 kbps down and up to 365 kbps up. I am a happy Roadrunner customer now.

Mazakman

We have the 3000/384 Roadrunner speeds here now and I am wondering about what I should change in the Cablenut settings for the increased download speeds. Been running the following values with pretty decent results (even with the new speed) Testing at 2930 kbps down at Speakeasy NY site.

384000 ...

Mazakman

From what I have heard, Roadrunner is planning on a big advertising campaign after all of the markets have been upgraded to the new speed. For me personally, I just dropped DSL that was capped at 3000/384 for RR that is capped at the same, and I am testing at 380 to 400 kbps quicker on the download ...

Greetings , haven't been here in a while, but I have recently put together an 1800XP Athlon system with 896 MB of ram. Any tweaking suggestions ? I am also running XP Pro on this computer. As you can see below, I am running a stock set up at the moment. I just formatted last evening and did a new ...

Mazakman

Yes, my profile is for the HP 850 Athlon....
We are on Roadrunner here...just set the Optimizer on the 333 for 256960 and the darn thing downloaded the test file from RR's servers 21 seconds faster than my 850 ! That was 49 mb downloaded in 3 minutes 10 seconds on the 333 and 3:31 on the 850. Geez ...

Mazakman

OK Thanks Lobo...That seems to be working fine. Now then...next question...What would you recommend for rwin values for a 333mhz p2 system with 384 mb ram ? Also running Windows XP...Home Edition. We put XP Home on our other computer and it is running fine. Must be all the ram that it has. I should ...

Mazakman

I am running the Speedguide patch for Win2k/XP. Note my RWIN value below. After I initially install the patch, all is well. Then after a while...few days ? ...it shows what it is showing below. I am running XP Pro, 850 Athlon, 256 mb ram. Thanks !

Just a wonderful non tweaking story and how I just lost 99 bucks... Just installed Win XP Home retail tonight...it is very nice. Well my wife works for a retail store that sells Windows XP and she did the online training through Microsoft tonight and as a result of taking three simple quizzes and ...

Mazakman

Thanks for the help. I have something to go by now !

Mazakman

Hello ! I am running a Netgear 314 Router and I am pretty much illiterate when it comes to configuring this thing. I have been having troubles apparently keeping ICQ connected to the net. My contacts say that I am constantly popping on and off on their contact list. Could this be caused by the ...

Mazakman

Yup ! Made my downloads faster too !

Mazakman

Well now...Thanks so much for that Lobo ! Cause I had no idea that I could change how the board looks ! LOL.

Mazakman

Hey ScarletAutumn, I am in upstate NY too and am seeing very good speeds (after tweaking) from my Toshiba modem. Currently capped at 2000 kbps. I recommend what everyone else is recommending. Get those dudes back out and get a card installed.

Mazakman

But 1500 remains the setting for cable, right ?

Mazakman

If it is any comfort Lobo, I do not use any of those "spyware programs". I do have Adaware Plus installed and run it everyday. I did note your other numbers in another post in regards to the buffers and am trying those numbers out. Oh, by the way...522680 is being tried now and it seems to rock and ...

Mazakman

Thanks Lobo, I shall try those numbers out.

Mazakman

I just put some more ram in the old system. I have an 850 Athlon and I am running 256 mb. of ram now and I am also running Windows XP. Is there anything else that you would recommend that I try as far as my settings are concerned ? Thanks !

Mazakman

OK, Thanks Lobo. I shall give those a try.

Greetings. I just switched back to Roadrunner Cable this afternoon. Running Win98SE and have 850 athlon, 192 mb ram . Cablenut is installed and speedguide cable patch is too as you can tell. Any other suggestions as to anything else I can try ? Thanks !

TCP properties for IP = xx.xx.xx.xx()

Mazakman

You have 350 Kilobytes ? per second downloading ?

Mazakman

75920 works for me, but DSL is going away next week. I am going back to the slower cable here Lobo. The DSL here is fast when it is working, but the service interruptions have become more and more frequent lately and that is unacceptable to me.

Mazakman

Bump ! Hey all, what has happened to Lobo ? Is he away ? He has given me good advice in the past and I know that he runs XP.

Mazakman

Thanks ! I have my Win 98 installation tweaked in pretty good for DSL. Running 75920 on the RWIN and see good speeds there. I will be looking forward to playing with this XP install.

Mazakman

OK guys, here goes...I took the plunge and payed out the $9.95 for WinXP . Just got it installed and all is well so far. I am running DSL here. 3 mbps down and 128 up. Running an 850 athlon, 192 mb ram system here.

Now...a couple of questions. Will the Cablenut program install ok in WinXP ? And ...

Mazakman

QT and IE 6.0 do not work together. Maybe the next build of IE 6.0 will have a fix for this problem.

Mazakman

Absolutely loving my DSL here. Was on Roadrunner for almost three years. Last August, the cap went in place ...2mbps down. My DSL has a cap at 3 mbps and I am seeing steady download speeds in the area of 300 to 330 KBS now.PC Pitsop tells me that I am running at anywheres from 2050 to 2900 depending ...

Mazakman

Opera is very fast at browsing. I am not sure of what kind of speed test that you were trying to take or why you were waiting 20 minutes for it to complete. I have found that the speedtest at Speakeasy in Opera does not seem to complete. Must be something to do with java in Opera. I've been testing ...

Mazakman

Well I am an amateur compared to most of you guys in this forum, but I am still trying to get a few items(plug ins) to work in Opera and I have yet to try Netscape . Is it worth a try and will it uninstall ok if I decide that I don't like it ?

Mazakman

I use both IE 5.01 and Opera. As I get more used to Opera, I am liking it more and more and it is definitely faster than any other browser that I have tried.

Mazakman

Just an update Idiot Savant. I am running an RWIN value right now of 148920. I have been playing around most of the day with different values and this is one that I am going to try for a while longer. Seems to be pretty good for me. I have had some good download speeds with it and good reports from ...

Mazakman

Hello Idiot Savant. I have been experimenting today with much lower RWIN's like you suggested and I am discovering that you are right. So far I have tested 93,440 ; 73,000 ; 75920 ; and 78,840. I am discovering much more even downloads. That 64 mb file that came in the other day in 3:43 downloaded ...

Mazakman

Man, I am downloading great at the RWIN's that Lobo has suggested. Got 64 mb downloaded today in 3 minutes 43 seconds. Think that I am just about maxed out on this DSL line. LOL.

Mazakman

Thanks Lobo. 531440 feels very much like the 524176 that I was running. Of course I know that the best time to speed test is later on or early tomorrow.

Mazakman

Just boosted my ram up to 192 mb. It was previously 128 mb. I have been pretty happy with what I have been seeing speed wise with the following settings. I am on 128/3000 DSL connection here. Will the increase in ram affect what I should be trying as far as any of my settings are concerned ...

Mazakman

I just got my home network running last night thanks to my computer wiz buddy in England. Running a Netgear 314 Router here and have 2 pc's sharing my DSL connection. Now have everything fully networked and in place and this system is running fast !

Mazakman

Anyone here use Opera ? I have been trying it out here and I am impressed with the speed. It definitely is faster than IE. I still am somewhat confused as to how to get certain things such as Windows Media Player (streaming) to work and other plug ins. but I am impressed overall with the Opera ...

Mazakman

I was with the good old Road Runner for almost three years and have found something that works alot better. Totally happy with Lightning Link DSL here . Puts Road Runner to shame in this area. Always fast. 3000/128 service and I average between 2200 and 2800 and about 109 here. I am extremely happy ...
