    QoS tweak

    QoS (Quality of Service) is a networking subsystem which is supposed to insure that the network runs properly. The problem with the system is that it eats up 20% of the total bandwidth of any networking service on the computer (including your internet connection). If you are running XP Professional, you can disable the bandwidth quota reserved for the system using the Group Policy Editor [gpedit.msc].
    Just tweaked the QOS setting on my machine, wonder if it will be a noticeable difference...

    QoS packet scheduling is a protocol that requires connection on both ends, not just the OS.

    We talked about this here before, and disabling QoS will not give you back something that isnt gone in the first place.

    Good info. And I will probably hit you up on some info one day when I'm not feeling like such a lazy ass. So sometime in the next decade.

    Do you remember in Waynes World the guy that screams for the radio station? That's what I'm hearing when I look at that avatar.
