Alright, I couldn't find the old thread on this topic a while back..... Some of you may remember...

anyway... I stumbled across a program that actually works... WELL... at boosting your cable speed. After running, I also noticed my ping times doubled.

not to be an ass or anything but mind telling us what the program is, maybe a link?

i think the thread your talking about was highjacked and turned into a thread about your speeds.

Sorry, when I posted, I couldn't remember where I found it so I googled it after and forgot to post :oP

Tried it on my gfs friend's vista laptop and it was a no-go (dl speed went down by 1000kb and her ul went down by almost 100kb). Thought it MAY be because of wireless but I just tried it on my gf's laptop (xp) and her DL speed went from 6000 to 19,000!

These are the basic of basic directions. If anyone is a network geek and really knows their stuff, it'd be nice to learn a little more about the other options in the program. :o)

oh right, that thing didn't do crap for me.

I lost speed.

tried it again after a format and had negative affects. I believe NvidiaFirewall had a lot to do with the large initial decrease, then large increase after applied.

Unfortunately, I found out that it was the nvidia firewall conflicting with some games (some of you may remember me posting in the fix it shop about games lagging on me, causing one core to max/nearly freeze my computer) so it had to be deleted. Once deleted, you're internet connection does too... it's nicely tangled in the system so once removed (even though it is not a necessity for ANYTHING) everything goes crazy which forced me to reformat again...

Download didn't decrease too much though... averaging around 19k. (still...wtf? Why would firewall software boost your speeds? It is an option in the mobo drivers, and since the NICs are on the mobo....? I dunno... somewhat annoying though.
