Windows uses 20% of your bandwidth! Get it back

A nice little tweak for XP. M*crosoft 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. This will allow the system to reserve nothing, rather than the default 20%.
works on XP Pro, and 2000 other OS not tested.

Ja probao i deluje mi da se stranice otvaraju brze, da ga *ebem

Probo i ja. Evo sad da vidim kako radi sa IE-om, isto mi se cini da mi nesto brze otvara?

kad ukucam Start-->Run-->gpedit.msc

ništa,widows cannot find gpedit.msc

naravno da sam kucao bez navodnika .

kod mene je xp home

To znaci da ti fali:

može se to ubacit?

Verovatno imas XP Home, tako da nista od toga...

Napisao je da ima XP Home.
Ja sam uradio i nisam primetio nikakvu razliku

Kod mene je ADSL definitivno i zasigurno zivnuo!Mnogo dobra fora.Stranice se ucitavaju brze kao i download!

Sad sam malo gledao te msc fajlove i izgleda da postoji dosta njih kao gpedit. Msc kojima se ne moze pristupiti iz control panela (odnosno ko ne zna za njih ih i ne vidi) . . . .

Ja sam to davno probao i nista nema razlike...
