Are you sure that this action will not ruin anything?! I mean does windows take 20% for nothing at all? it has to do something.. I'm not sure if I want to do this or not

this only applies at certain times when windows needs to do something, like windows update -etc, doesn't apply when it dont need windows update an stuff

in the past, i've tried alsorts of tweaks and doing speed tests but i dont really notice anything. I havent tried the tweak mentioned but i've given up tweaking. thanks for the info though and the follow ups, its knowledge nonetheless

For all i publish what i know

and now ill tell you the truth it helps here in israel the brodband is low and the speed is weeker much then in europ or in us

i tryed it and the speed did got faster in small amount but faster alot then before.

well i used the tool to tweak,& did the thing to get 20% back but i dont see any change,
i still upload the same speed & download the same speed.
you cant do faster than your isp lets you.

good to know, anybody have any idea why 20% of your network speed would be capped in the first place?

yes it has been mentioned here before few times,
the reason for that band sparing is to give the operating system a passway to the net .
that passway which is made out of that spared bandwidth will be used
for the most to alow windows security update at all times

as i understood the idea behind that xp option is
that you can normaly use all of your bandwidth (100%),
as a system default anyhow ,
and the system will limit it only when it needs to
for example, if it needs to update
which is good thing by itself and hapend only once in a wile ,
at the rest of the time, and if the system is operating properly
than it wont bother your bandwidth .

tweaking that option is a bit like building a "sophisticated gate"
across the road (the road stands for your bandwidth),
and than forcing that gate to stay open at all times ,

i have to add that i'm a bit weary from speed tricks ,
changing and booting , booting and tweaking .
you can't made gold out of lead .
i didn't notice any speed change , and the only noticeable cupping
is the one enforced by the internet provider , and to change it you'll
need to pay .
but this is only my two cent comment .

i think that only if you run voIP software it makes any difference!

 

[Enlightned]

Those 20 % don´t affect nothing. You ´ll just note difference when windows is updating, Windows reserve those 20 % if he needs it.
You guys try cfos or cfospeed, great proggie

good tip, if there other tips like that don't be shay, post them here it always good to improve the internet connection even if it's only when the windows updates

i use windows VIP (Windows XP Service Pack 2 Unattended Edition version 5)

 

[reindeer]

hmm... i claim that when i made that tweak (found from some windows optimization page), my dl speeds with dc++ and ftp raised radically. but works only when updating windows...? have to do a before-after comparison when i reinstall windows (xp pro sp2) next time.

 

[ettanman]

This doesnt work on windows xp home edition?

 

[imported_wizard]

i have Windows.XP.JACKED.Core.Edition.2006-Y0uRmUm and ther is such option there.

BTW The 20% is used for a reason.
If you use this your connection will get flooded by P2P-Traffic & new connections & background stuff will be very very slow..

Try it for yourself and see
