Hare may be of use to you. http://www.dachshundsoftware.com/index.html
And you can also check out System Mechanic. But I heed you some advice; only install it and use it if you really know what you are doing. It is some powerful software that can screw up your comp. If you don't know what you're doing, you best not install it. If you wanna give it a go, read through the documentation VERY closely and stay on the safe side. I'm not responsible for anything you may do wrong. I can be characterized as the smartest dumbass and the dumbest smartass. My favorite P2P apps: Ares, Clean Blubster, BCDC++, Emule Plus, Shareaza, Bittorent |

WOAH!!!! back up
NEVER ever download and run an executible like that, that "tuner" could easily be a trojan There is really only one tweak that will help you First, check out these 5 tips from TechTV http://www.techtv.com/screensavers/b...309781,00.html Then go to http://cable-dsl.home.att.net/ and find the appropriate registry key, that is the only setting with any real benefit, the rest of the programs out there are mainly scams, or really do nothing at all edit: DISREGARD ORION he will be banned shortly, he is posting virus's |

TIO, yeah, I saw that post, most likely the same guy, this will make it very hard to trust anybody new Orion has posted this link in another thread, with a completely unrelated purpose for the file, and somebody mentioned they got a "corrupt file" error or something, its almost possitively a bakckdoor |

That thing Orion posted is some sort of utility that has been tampered with, the CRC is wrong and there are other difficulties. Everything on the server at that port wants to load it to you and the main site doesn;t seem to know a damn thing about it except that people keep requesting it and it thinks it's giving them a file not found error (but it isn't)

Speedguide is my favorite place to go for optimizers. They have registry patches you download to correctly optimize your connection. I noticed a big increase in speed after I applied those patches.

I've tried all kinds of internet boosters, but I found that there is no substitute for a high speed connection and lots of RAM.
