For Firefox, refer to our browser tweaks article. Increasing them much over 10 may cause problems with some websites. While these entries might improve web page loading considerably, they tend to strain webservers more and have no effect on throughput. Username: Password: forgot password? Home » Articles » Registry Tweaks. They cause serious load problems on web servers - normally a client takes 2 connection slots, so a client server can handle simultaneous users no problem.
However when this "tweak" is applied, users becomes just 10 users! This is a really nasty tweak that essentially causes a denial of service attack against web servers.
Please do not use it. Applying the web patch is not a DDoS in any form. Yes, it causes the user to make more requests to the webserver at once, but at the same time it reduces the time this user takes to download web pages. So, by using the same theoretical simple comparison, the 10 users will download those pages 10 times faster, freeing the line for others.
As a web server admin myself, I'd recommend reducing the "KeepAliveTimeout" to seconds from the default 15 seconds with Apache to reduce any potential load from having a large number of open connections. Still we've tested the "MaxConnectionsPerServer" settings extensively in real world situations from the client side of view.
Increasing the number of connections to a reasonable number allows for more requests to be made simultaneously, before waiting for previous requests to complete. When you also consider going through routers that handle requests from many clients, and the connection latency, it results in a noticeably more responsive browsing. I just love watching you guys duke it out! Sure, you can eat more food if you grab it off the other guy's plate. The tweaks are kinda like cutting in line in the cafeteria.
But the guy cutting in line has done his homework. Risk and reward? You tell me. And I'm sure you will. Tweaking your connection is very different than uncapping illegally changing your CPE to get bandwidth not allocated to you. By tweaking, you are optimizing your end of the connection your computer , you're not taking anyone's bandwidth. Tweaking just helps you utilize your allocated bandwidth by your ISP to its full potential. If one uses the default Windows settings with broadband, transfers usually burst until they fill the TCP Window buffer, then servers stop and wait for acknowledgements that the data has been received to send more It is simply not handled well, we increase those buffers to allow filling the full bandwidth.
Optimizing is recommended by many providers, our site, tweaks, patches and programs have been recommended by field techs and mass media for the past 7 years. Our goal is simply to help end users utilize their broadband connection to its full potential. Excelent Article. Is ther an pdf document to print it? Ferdinand Maisriemler. I need to thank those who have contributed to building the informational guide of this website; a newbie to much of this gives me renewed awe at the vast amount of intellectual effort vested in the creation of the computer system.
Best Regards, Matthew W. Johnson, Analyst. Once again, a really excellent article that helped me a lot. In meantime I also solved my printing problems using the free pdf Creator. This tweak really does make a difference.. One single connection might do a better job for everyone, but if you want to download more than two files at once, then you should apply this patch.
However, it's been my experience that if you increase the number of concurrent requests over , servers may start dropping some of your connections. There are a few other factors to consider as well: Assume that same page with 20 files and ms latency between you and the webserver. Action: These allow you to end tasks faster, shut down faster and speed up the menu display. You can edit this as you see fit. The default is These next 2 tweaks I consider to be optional.
One could argue about whether or not they actually have any speed advantage and you may or may not like the result. I strongly recommend you do these two entries manually so that you can easily undo them if you do not like them but you can also copy and paste them into the.

If this is an optimization guide, I'm baffled by your advice to get Norton :. Reply 6 years ago on Introduction. Reply 13 years ago on Step 6. Norton is the best security software out there, and the extra security is worth a slightly slower computer to me.
Reply 9 years ago on Introduction. For all the times I have fixed computers, I can't count how many times uninstalling Norton solved a problem you can spend hours trying to fix. I actually had a laptop myself where the wireless was suddenly not working for no reason at all, I had tried everything and Norton had been disabled since I bought it, I actually had to go in and uninstall under add and remove programs and my wireless started working again.
Do a search for Top Antivirus, I didn't find anything in the 5 top results saying anything about Norton. Reply 12 years ago on Introduction. I know it is a lot more open than Windows. Windows is by far the worst operating system I have ever come across. I run Mac OS X. And have have used more than my fair share of Linux distributions.
I might have been a little too judgmental. The term 'linux loser' applies to someone who ran Windows, then switched to Linux, thinking they were great, but knowing little about the operating system.
They also see themselves as 'non-conformists' or 'hax0rs'. From your style of writing, and the whole 'big fat letters' thing, you seemed to fall under the catergory of 'Linux loser'.
Sorry for upsetting you. Reply 11 years ago on Introduction. I can see Linux being useful for a home server, but what's the point of having it on your main PC? Reply 13 years ago on Introduction. If this was your optimization guide, I'm sure I wouldn't be able to understand your English either. I wasn't getting back at you. It's over 7 years old first version in and has continued to evolve.
I started working with XP during its RC1 stage. After a time I began looking for ways to tweak it. I haven't "invented" any of these tweaks. They were scattered all over the web, a couple at one site, a few more at another.
Some were good and as I discovered over time, some were bad. This was also the first guide to debunk several myths regarding popular tweaks. This will be the final version of this guide. That means there will be no further updates. XP is a good operating system and is still a good choice for older computers but it is time to move on as far as guides go I will keep XP on my P4 computer until it dies.
