lol i did that when i first got my laptop. i forgot about it unitl i downloaded it and then i recognized the icon for the prog. So then wahts the problem?

 

Most of the "How To Speed Up Your Connection" ads you see are related to compressing images on pages so a dial-up or low-band connection speeds up a bit. If you have checked your DSL connection at some online speed sites and your numbers aren't what your ISP advertises, don't be surprised; they rarely ever are.

The link I provided to the program above is, IMO, the best one out there for that sort of thing.

This is a decent program to test and store results of your speeds for comparison:

ok thanks, jus do a stationary defragg?

 

yeah i kn i used to do it on my desktop ( curently using the laptop ) but my desktop is still experenceing slow internet along with my laptop. but ohwell, i cant complane. it just took me 7 hrs hahaha to download donnie darko off limewire.. but i dont know somwtimes its fast and then its not. i think its the dsl provider verzion. im not too big of a fan of it, but it is what it is.

 

That largely depends on the OS, and connection. MTU settings CAN make a difference.

 

Well, you did it again Star17, twice in one day!! First you introduced me to 'Fasterfox,' which really helped. Now you introduced me to 'Dan's BBST' and then to 'TCP Optimizer.' I ran them both (BBST a couple of times) and it REALLY helped ALOT. My ping times could be alittle better, but, according to BBST, I had little or no packet loss. (depending on the server they connected to) THANKS again for the valuable info!

 

interesting enough, seems after the defrag my lime wire speeds are now up to an incredable 93kbs... weird huh? i used to get 25 and i was happy. but i internet still isnt all the fast, but is quicker. i dont know if it is fom the defrag or what, but here is a picture of the limewire
