Dr, TCP for Windows 7 ?

bigbazza · Oct 21, 2011

Has anyone used Dr. TCP for Windows 7?

I loved Dr.TCP for XP, but it states "for (Win 2k, Win XP)"
One link (not MG) states "Win All"

Other, and I quote some posts.

It really works! Five stars… until now (see “PS” in the bottom)

It is the first day of my test of the program but the first impressions are very positive.
The increase in the speed of loading of web pages with images, flash elements, java,… were between two to three times faster!
(My OS is the Windows Vista 32 with IE9.)

However, I will leave some suggestions:
1- Close the IE, other open programs, the sidebar that has directly connections with internet, the antivirus programs, etc...
2- Execute the program (there is no installation) with rights administrative privileges in context menu.
The program opens with the current definitions (see the bottom of window) in the “General Settings” tab.
3- Backup with File menu, "Backup actual settings" and save the file (it can be opened with notepad like programs).
4- Adjust in the slide "Connection Speed" for the maximum bandwidth provided by the service provider.
5- In "Chose settings" choose "Optimal" and click "Apply changes".
6- Restart the computer, ... et voila!

To test, try to open "heavy" web pages!

Good luck

PS: but remember ... it was only my first day of the test and I have to be attentive to the stability of IE9,
if the loading of Web pages is maintained rapid in a consistent way, and the comportment of other programs that needs and interacts with internet.

I have several different flavors of Windows 7 around here, but only 1 64bit. No issues ever on it. Hope your fix sticks.

FWIW,
I have used Dr. TCP, which is available here »/drtcp on dslreports on all my Windows 7 machines and it still works rather well.
I've always set my rwin since XP days to 128480. Made a world of difference on my laptop that is 64bit.
I've never messed with the MTU part of it.

My note: I'm sorry :-o these links are a bit disjointed, but some apparently use Dr. Tcp on Vista and Windows 7 :confused

Any MG members using Dr. Tcp on Vista or Win 7?
I'd sooner trust MG members reports as I am just about to update my new laptop from Win 7 Home Premium, to Win 7 Ultimate 64 Bit (I hope)

I'd really like your experience/s :major
