Thread: how to increase download speed.

start ur computer in safe mode-logon as administrater (you can also do it in normal mode)-Click start menu -Run -type-gpedit.msc - Local Computer Policy -Computer Configuration - Administrative Templates -Network - QOS Packet Scheduler -Limit Reservable Bandwidth-set it enable which will show 20%-chang it to 0%-restart computer.
Even if it is disabled it will still take 20% of bandwidth reserved for windowsxp updates.so make it enabled and chang it from 20% to 0%.
this trick is worked for me and my download speed increased from 1.4mbps to 1.8mbps.

lol... impossible. 20% of 1.4 mbps is 0.28 mbps so u r max speed will be always 1.4 mbps + 0.28 mbps = 1.68 mpbs

check again dude

20 % of the bandwidth is reserved for windows updates. If your release them it should work like normal. The difference comes only during updates.

Perfect. u r right

[Myth] XP reserves 20% of the bandwidth - The solution

............Enable this option and then modify the % bandwidth. You can reset it from 20% to 0%, though this will not bring any increase in connection.
