Vista cannot be tweaked. It is auto-tuning.

Make sure auto-tuning is enabled.

Go to start-run and paste this " netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=normal " and hit enter. Reboot the comp and test speed.

if anyone could help me figure out a tweak that would be consistent id be thankful and also my download rates on limewire are decent but for bittorrent they are worse than dial up is this anything to do with the tcp or is bittorrent jus rubbish

[ballnbiscuit]

sorry i just paused my bittorrent and tested again and it went upto 1200mbs down and 300 up is there anywhere that i can download torrents with good speed my downloads currently have good seeding so i dont see why they are going so slow

Vista auto-tunes its TCP settings. Your problem of fluctuating speed is probably due to signal quality.

Do a tracert to www.yahoo.com and post.

okay ive tried tracing yahoo.com from about 6 different tracing sites and it wont trace for me i tried tracing on command prompt and access denied
