You can surf the web much faster!! (info here)
 

Do yourself a favor and change this gay-ass setting..

Why?

- IE limits the number of simultaneous persistent connections per server to only 2!! that means your browser can download only 2 items at a time, causing an unneccesary lag. Here is the page on the microsoft website explaining it: http://support.microsoft.com/default...;en-us;q183110
they claim its a requirement by the http1.1 standards but why would you give a shit?


what you have to is just add a registy entry and it works like a charm. if you didnt already get the info from link above, here is step by step instructions:

- Start Menu -> Run -> Type "regedit" and hit ok
- browse to "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Internet Settings" on the left menu
- Click on Internet Settings on the left menu
- Edit -> New -> DWORD value
- Rename it to: MaxConnectionsPerServer
- Right click on that entry on the right menu, and select Modify.
- Enter a value like between 5 and 10 in there. Hit ok.
- Restart your machine.
- Feel the difference! :thumbsup

Sure, and while your at it, I'll just let you install a sub seven trojan horse on my machine too.

FUCK THAT!!

Oh, no wait... I trust you LANE, I mistook you for your lover Equinox.

My Bad.


note to self...
LANE = good
Equinox = bad

???

it's legit, i've always used that to download more than two files from the same server at once

bite me: :Kissmy

:1orglaugh

:glugglug+ :smokin

sounds interesting

dude, that shit works pretty good... amazing difference

It does work, I've been using it since I first installed win2000 about 4 years ago - i found it originally on www.speedguide.net

especially try surfing pages with lots of small images... makes a huge difference

can you go higher than 10? i got a 3mbps downstream here :)

probably.. i just thought it would be a reasonable number, both for your connection and the web-server.. just try it..

When I try to modify MaxConnectionsPerServer, it defaults to hexadecimal but also has a choice of decimal. WTF is a hexadecimal & should I choose decimal with a value of 10?

Nice Tip Lane, Thanks:thumbsup

well, up to 9, decimal and hexadecimal are the same shit... (decimal is what we use in daily life, and hex is base 16)

10 in hex is equal to 16 in decimal... "A" in hex is equal to 10 in decimal.. so if you wanna enter value 10, either use decimal and put 10 or use hexadecimal and put A, its the same..

Yes, there are 2 patches here that turn everything up. Very much worth the 2 second download. I swear by it. :thumbsup

nice! this really works, thanks Lane :thumbsup

using that since I have w2k installed. It's set to 32 here... neat

Thanks Lane. Pretty cool. Has anyone tried higher than 10? Any difference?

"Has anyone tried higher than 10? Any difference?"

I had it at 150, but needed to change it back to 5 ... I couldn´t handle the speeeeeeeeed !!!

i checked my registry and i have......50, thats why my dialup goes like a T3 i guess :glugglug

The value 5 in heximal?

hehe

Loaded 414,028 bytes in 1.125 seconds from server.

Your throughput: 2944 K

On Toast.net.

What's your speed on that?

lol, that is my speed. Once you run a test it puts the value in the url. go to toast.net to try yours. Toast. FREE and Cable Bahamas are decent but the other servers usually suck anyway.

Fuck I just realized that. What settings are you using on Lane's tip? I'm still getting my regular DSL rates. But pics do seem to loading faster.

Son of a bitch! Most noticable on sites that have a lot of small "navigation" images and at least a few larger images... now the small navigation stuff loads reasonably fast (doesn't wait for any larger images to load). FWIW I set it to F (hex value; means 15 in decimal).

Definately a cool tip... thanks Lane :thumbsup

Speedguide.net. I downloaded 2 patches there, one that opened up the pipes and one that did something with some sort of bad files. I turned mine up some more but it didn't make too much of a difference. Our cable here has always been fast though.

By the way, your tests will vary sometimes due to the server sending the info. I run the pic, small text, and compressed text to get a good idea of what my connection is pulling. Server slowdown makes it fluctuate.

Tried it but it didn't do anything - maybe it's because I have a high speed connection.

The only thing you forgot to tell us is how to set it back to default.

Did you reboot?

To set it back, just delete that key you created..



btw, you can experiment with much higher values than 10 if you want.. but i dont see any use of putting something like 100..

Kick ass tip, thanks for posting it !!

:thumbsup :thumbsup

nice! tip works!

thank you!i had recently been complaining abou tmy damn connection too.
having been spoiled off of a cable connection at home for close to 5 years, anything that was remotely slow, drove me insane.

Nice info bro.....
works well, alot faster now.

Thanks mane:thumbsup

i'm on cable modem,way faster

have one on the house:glugglug

I am using Opera and it have that feature in the preferences :)
So this is my settings:

Maximum connections to a server: 50
Maximum total connections: 100
Size of Network buffer: 32kb

Important thing is total connections also. So if you open 2 sites in 2 windows you should have room for both of them. So try to find that for IE if it's possible...

Btw, Opera is like 500% faster then fucking IE.

:2 cents:

bump up your speed
