Protect 20% of your Bandwidth

[Hitterman]

A nice little tweak for XP. Microsoft reserve 20% of your available bandwidth for their own purposes (suspect for updates and interrogating your machine etc..)

Here's how to get it back:

Click Start-->Run-->type "gpedit.msc" without the "
This opens the group policy editor. Then go to:


Local Computer Policy-->Computer Configuration-->Administrative Templates-->Network-->QOS Packet Scheduler-->Limit Reservable Bandwidth

Double click on Limit Reservable bandwidth. It will say it is not configured, but the truth is under the 'Explain' tab :

"By default, the Packet Scheduler limits the system to 20 percent of the bandwidth of a connection, but you can use this setting to override the default."

So the trick is to ENABLE reservable bandwidth, then set it to ZERO(0).

This will allow the system to reserve nothing, rather than the default 20%.

Tested on XP Pro.
Also working with Win 2000.
It's not working on XP Home Edition.

It's will not increase your download speed much, but it's will make your surfing better.

It doesn't work. It comes up with "access denied-user is not authorised."

[Hitterman]

It works fine for me. Is your user account limited or admin?

[Dr. Pepper]

admin

Than may be your ISP is doesn't allow this. But is this in control of ISP?:confuse:

I don't think its a ISP problem because that bandwidth is reserved my MS itself for Automatic updates etc.
