Chameleon 0 Report post Posted November 15, 2005 thanks for this, knew M$ had something like this somewhere, 20% bandwidth just sitting there not doing anything Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sprnknwn 0 Report post Posted November 15, 2005 It?s very interesting, I?d like to try it... 20% is too much. Just a few questions.Does it works for DSL connections?Does it has any secondary effect... maybe making other tasks slower or something like that?Thanks a lot Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nolookingca 0 Report post Posted November 15, 2005 I've tried this before. Not much of a difference in performance. Quote TweakHound.com About the QOS "tweaks" floating around the net. Ignore them, they don't work! Also see this forum post: http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r204-- Quote Above BBR Forum post QoS 20% Myth I see some people bringing this up again and again. On the screen savers show they got swarmed by people telling them about that fix. They tested their systems and investigated it and determined it was FALSE. IT DOES NOT STEAL 20% of you Bandwidth!!!! It's like I have said it several posts till I gave up. It CAN if it needs to but normally never reserves that bandwidth. In fact they said if you disable or delete it you will impair your internet connection. So, in summary, this tweak doesn't really do anything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
