Terrible d/l-good u/l speed on resnet- Did some tweaks, suggestions please!

[AstroLad]

Windows XP on a 10.0 Mbps school resnet here.

I never noticed how ****ty my d/l speed was (especially compared to u/l) since recently when I've been trying to go online with the PS2 (which is done via a USB->Ethernet adapter from my laptop to the PS2 to get around the building's limitation).

Here's a list of what I've done so far:

-Closed all resource-intensive apps (anti-virus, AIM, etc.)
-Ran SpyBoy and AdAware
-Ran TCPOptimizer and changed my settings, here is my DSLReports TweakTest result:

1. Your Tweakable Settings:

This is not a speed test!

And my pathetic speed test results from http://www.dslreports.com/stest?loc=1:
Welcome to BBR! Run more tests! see forums

Your download speed : 198 kbps or 24.7 KB/sec.
Your upload speed is much faster than down.. have you tweaked?
Your upload speed : 2133 kbps or 266.7 KB/sec.

Any general or specific suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks very much. That definitely looks to have helped. Is there anything you would suggest I do to make the Internet Connection Sharing faster? Basically I am only using one at a time, so I would even be willing to completely reduce the connection to my laptop if I could speed up the connection to the PS2.

Increase the number of simultaneous connections from the limit of 10 set as default in XP SP2 to 50 will help. The patcher to do this is in this thread:

Ah thanks very much; I was looking for how to do that in the regedit, but there's my easy answer. My connection here is screaming right now, though my PS2 is still a shade slow, likely just because of losing lots of bandwidth (or whatever) filtering my connection through this dongle-

Ah well, ya can't win 'em all. Thanks again for the help.
