TCP/IP Optimization.

[Klinger]

Painless can host for ~12 people, and he is looking to push this up to 15.

A m8 reckoned the Standard MS tcp/ip setup is 'throttled' in some way by default.

He suggested this : http://www.speedguide.net/downloads.php 

as a way of unlocking the extra hosting capability.

Has anyone heard of this? Any good, or a can of worms ?

Cheers.

Painless any good or can of worms?

When I was on dial up, I tried everything to get better speed including TCP/IP optimizers like these. As far as I could tell they didn't do squat.

Painless would be the first to admit that he is a can of worms .

Too bad the optimizer is ineffective. Thanks for the info Jim.

I heard Painless' wife took him to the vet to get de-wormed

I think the worst thing on hosting is TS.

In that case it sounds like he is at the practical limit for a UK 10 meg connection.

I just wondered how BG and DT can host for 32 players, as in SEOW.

Do you gents have a 30 meg connection, or do you have a better setup?

[BBloke]

IIRC I had a 32kb upload when I hosted 13 players.

I have a very high upload bandwidth Kling with a fairly low latency.

The penny has dropped m8. Your upload speed is about 10 times that of Painless.

I guess theres no way to increase our upload speed reasonably cheaply?

We're on Virgin Cable.

[BBloke]

Upload is what you need.

Klinger, are you Mick's spokesman now?

Just looked at TS and the ready room is set to Speedx 25.9.
