This is prefect. The speed increase much more faster than before but will this effect our computer’s health or internet security ? (Meaning : is it safe to do this )

@Chris
Thanks Chris for sharing your info to our readers!

@Damien
For your info, the tips I suggested here in this post might have a slight improvement and perhaps could fix something for some users.
As in your case, perhaps there are other problems that we can’t see through. You might have to contact your ISP and tell them your problem.
Anyway, we appreciate your comment!

Applied both fixes, and still peaking at 110-120Kbps download rate for files and torrents. Upload rate is stuck at about 10-20kbps, which is also totally unacceptable. Base network connection is a 20Mbps, cable connection into a Wireless N, Linksys router. All network cards are at least G+ and N. All systems are running Norton 360 3.0.

There are the following: iPhone, Windows XP Home, and Windows Vista Home Premium, in use on the network connection in question.

Speed tests from iPhone generate – ~900KBps
Speed tests from Win XP generate – ~750D/300U
Speed tests from Vista H.P generate – 950KB D / 450KB U

Yeah, that is using the same testing server, and everything. I get those results on my Vista system, but when I go to download a file or host a torrent, KA BLAM! shite download. Does anyone have suggestions. I am a hoping to find an answer as it really bites to only have my tests go fast.

You need to go to C:\windows\system32 and rightclick and open cmd.exe with run as administrator. Then it will work for you.
