| [Tweak Test] Tweaking RWIN so I can still use the net?
Hey,
I ran the tweak test, here's my results:
»/tweakr/block:···ia=pppoA
I set the RWIN value in windows to the lowest of the recommended range (115340), as I didn't really know what number to pick. It worked very well, but, almost too well. I have a 12mb ADSL connection, and I can now happily download at that rate.
However, when I do, all the time it's downloading everything else (network related) stops, web pages wont load, attempts to log into the router time out etc. Either my network adapter or the router can't handle it.
Is there a way that I can further optimise it so that it downloads as fast as possible, but I can also use the network for other things at the same time?
Thanks,
Jack |

| I'm Assuming that you are using a Satellite Service...
Are you Downloading via a P2P client (Bit Torrent, Azureus, etc.), at it's MAXIMUM D/L and U/L Speeds?
If So, You are most likely "Flooding" your connection... Try reducing your P2P Client's Maximum D/L and U/L Speed Limits slightly, to give your other Network connections some Bandwidth...

Nope it's an ADSL2+ service down our phone line. And just downloading a regular file in Firefox (from here: »fuller.zen.co.uk/test/) maxes it out.
I've found that some random requests do succeed, but most not, and some are painfully slow. I know if I'm downloading at full rate the internet connection will obviously slow down. But I would have thought I could still easily use the LAN, and log into the router etc. |

For now I've knocked the RWIN value down to 84680, which is still giving me ~1.1/1.2 downloads, but everything else works as well. Not too sure why a higher value would be required really. Any other advice on this would be appreciated. Thanks. |

I have a 15mb cable broadband. I use RWIN of 128480 on my computers. Which works very nice for me. |
