Ive been reading into moddifying my TCP/IP stack. I know that doing this lets you change your maximum amount of connections from 10 to 50. Now I'm not sure if this would really bring me any type of benefit. For my internet I download off torrents and just do browsing. I have a 1.5 mbps connection and I achieve a constant 1 mbps speed. Would moddifying the TCP/IP stack improve this? Heres the tool I've been looking at http://www.lvllord.de/?lang=en&url=tools

lvllords patch might make for more consistant, somewhat improved speeds, but there's no guarantee's here, it might not do anything at all.
It can't hurt your system though, and if it doesn't work, you can always revert to 10 halfopen connections by running the patch again.

Just use the patch, do what it tells you, when XP starts nagging the file has changed*it will ask you to insert SP2 cd*, hit cancell, confirm you want to keep the changes, then restart your system.
If it doesn't help, run the patch again to change back to the original 10 halfopen connections.

My experience is that the IP stack hacks can cause problems too, especially since this one modifies the driver itself, not just some registry values.

You should also remember that there is some overhead in TCP connections imposted by the various Layer 1-7 protocols. TCP itself involves 4 layers. That's a lot.

-Do you believe you own your computer and shouldn't be told what you can run and do? Then say *NO* to Microsoft Vista!
-Since half the questions here involve media problems, here ya go: Only use Verbatim or Taiyo-Yuden discs (get your TYs from Rima.com, not Supermediastore or meritline). Forget the rest, no matter what "brand" they sell under. Always burn at 4x speed regardless of the speed rating of this discs or your drive. If you have burn problems with these then you have to update your drive's firmware. For double-layer discs, only use Verbatim DVD+R DL and burn them at 2.4x speed.
