Something to share....
1. lvllord's EvID4226Patch. It can change XP's(sp2) TCPIP.SYS to increase your TCP connections limited to a max of 10 by default. To learn more about Event ID 4226 read David Kaspar’s post.
2. The TCP optimizer is a freeware utility that optimizes your internet connection.
3. Fasterfox - performance and network tweaks for Firefox. Note: there are negative reviews on this.
4. Manually configure firefox to speed up. Read below:
1.Type "about:config" into the address bar and hit return. Scroll down and look for the following entries:
network.http.pipelining network.http.proxy.pipelining network.http.pipelining.maxrequests
Normally the browser will make one request to a web page at a time. When you enable pipelining it will make several at once, which really speeds up page loading.
2. Alter the entries as follows:
Set "network.http.pipelining" to "true"
Set "network.http.proxy.pipelining" to "true"
Set "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" to some number like 30. This means it will make 30 requests at once.
3. Lastly right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer. Name it "nglayout.initialpaint.delay" and set its value to "0". This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it recieves.
If you're using a broadband connection you'll load pages MUCH faster now!
