Well i live in Canada and i have Rogers @Home and i recently found out that without any of those tweaks in the Registry ... my connection seems FASTER!! .... is my speeed normal for a @home connection ???

Any advice to help increase my speed would be appreciated

Thanks!

Like I have said many times before, these tweaks that advocate high RWINS don't always work. Since you are probably capped at 3 Mbps, those are great speeds. The high RWIN values that some people advertise are for OC48 connections.:D

CyberTek,

You can use the default RWIN or try 478099809987589589984. That may work also.:D :D :D

ALL recommended RWIN values are under 1MB, so there is no way they would affect the PC performance.

Any usable CPU / RAM combination should be able to handle high-speed traffic, however slower computers overloaded with a lot of running applications tend to have slower transfers by default... Simply because there are not enough resources left to fully exploit the potential of the Netwrk card, Winsock and so on.

Still, higher RWIN is better in all cases. The only exception is that when you go above 65535, the header gets a bit bigger, so there might be a slight performance drop just above a RWIN of 65535

If there is high packet loss or latency on the line, higher RWIN is still better, simply because you have the potential of higher throughput...

Just my 2c.
