This is very classic and simple method that can boost your internet connection speed. For example, Windows will default take your 20% of your bandwidth to do the automatic update. Whether you turn it off or not, it still take your 20% bandwidth. This can decrease your internet speed of course, but may increase your security. I believe, although your computer do update, but if your brain still dumb, it’s meaningless to do update. So, you can turn it off (You must at least run on XP Professional or Server 2003 to do it). How to do it:
- Click Start and click Run
- Type gpedit.msc and click OK
- Go to Administrative Templates -> Network -> QoS Packet Scheduler
- Double-click Limit reservable bandwidth -> Setting tab
- Enable it and set bandwidth limit to 0 and click OK.
Another way to boost your internet speed, don’t do too many simultaneously download. For Bit Torrent user, a torrent will eat your bandwidth although it’s download speed is 0 KB/s in downloading status. Just pause it if the download speed is low and wait for another moment where the Seeds and Peers are in frenzy mode.
Use third party download accelerator/ manager. This can help you to get optimal speed of your connection. Internet Download Manager is very good download manager, but it’s not free, it’s shareware. A quite good and free download manager is Free Download Manager.
After you do like the above, you can check your connection speed. A web like speedtest.net can help you to know how much your connection speed is.
