Prophet,

Welcome to TSG

So where is big foot at? The redwoods?

[pvc9]

Thats very good Prophet. You're lucky

See if its the same even if you dont move any of the devices...

So where is big foot at? The redwoods?

If I knew that.....

New reading w/o the mouse movement is:

964.5 kbps.

[pvc9]

Ok! But is that true or not?

Mine came up at 1584 - then in the high 1400's

is that good ??

[pvc9]

I guess so... that is pretty good.

Outside of this Reg Tweak what's another good way to get my speed above the 900kbps wall?

This Registry fix speeds up internet/remote (using Windows Explorer and/or Internet Explorer) browsing process considerably on most MS Windows 32-bit machines connected to a network and/or remote computer(s).
This actually fixes a BUG in MS Windows OSes that scan shared (remote) folders/files across the network for Scheduled Tasks, and can add a delay as long as 30 seconds (!), because it uses extra time to search the remote computer(s).
To do this, run Regedit and go to:


HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Remot eComputer\NameSpace
In the right hand pane highlight the {D6277990-4C6A-11CF-8D87-00AA0060F5BF} Value and delete it: right-click on it -> select Delete -> click OK.

RECOMMENDED: Export (BACKUP) this Registry key to a REG file FIRST, to be able to restore it (by running the REG file) if necessary. In Regedit: highlight the key name in the left hand pane -> click "Registry" from the menu -> select "Export Registry File..." -> type a file name in the "File name" field -> browse to the destination of your choice -> push the Save button.

This Registry change takes effect immediately.
Just start MS IE while connected to the network/internet to see the difference.

Ok! if you got that tweak from this link then fine, but anyways a pretty useful link -

www.speedguide.net

Naw, I got it from here:

AXCEL's 216
Trouble is, this one will keep you up all night long.

edit> Fixed link.

Ok!

Anyways Prophet and Boesman,

This seems a little high. More accurate results are garnered by loading larger "dummy" files, and averaged over several tests and different times of day ("peak" & "quiet" times). My ISP has a 20mb download test. I also use: http://www.thebandwidthplace.com.
