Help Newbie here!! how to set TCP Optimizer??

Post by BiGLingLing7 »

I am using a StarHub Cable 2000kbps/256KBps connection.
Also frequently using Azureus bittorrent ver 2.4.0.2
i have no idea how to set TCP Optimizer to my advantage
and my speed test is only 1.02Mbps.

this is the data i got from the Analyzer

TCP options string = 020405ac01010402
MTU = 1492
MTU is optimized for PPoE DSL broadband. If not, consider raising MTU to 1500 for optimal throughput.
MSS = 1452
MSS is optimized for PPPoE DSL broadband. If not, consider raising your MTU value.
Default TCP Receive Window (RWIN) = 63888
RWIN Scaling (RFC1323) = 0 bits
Unscaled TCP Receive Window = 63888

RWIN is a multiple of MSS
Other RWIN values that might work well with your current MTU/MSS:
511104 (MSS x 44 * scale factor of 8)
255552 (MSS x 44 * scale factor of 4)
127776 (MSS x 44 * scale factor of 2)
63888 (MSS x 44) <-- current value
bandwidth * delay product (Note this is not a speed test):

Your TCP Window limits you to: 2555.52 kbps (319.44 KBytes/s) @ 200ms
Your TCP Window limits you to: 1022.208 kbps (127.776 KBytes/s) @ 500ms
MTU Discovery (RFC1191) = ON
Time to live left = 52 hops
TTL value is ok.
Timestamps (RFC1323) = OFF
Selective Acknowledgements (RFC2018) = ON
IP type of service field (RFC1349) = 00000000 (0)

Try thease in the sg optmizer below me to download and install

General Settings tab:
Custom settings - check
Modify All Network Adapters - check
network adapter selection - your NIC
MTU - 1500
TTL - 64
TCP Receive Window - 64240
MTU Discovery - Yes
Black Hole Detect - No
Selective Acks - Yes
Max Duplicate ACKs - 2
TCP 1323 Options:
Windows Scaling - uncheck
Timestamps - uncheck
Advanced Settings tab:
Max Connections per Server - 10
Max Connections per 1.0 Server - 20
LocalPriority - 5
Host Priority - 6
DNSPriority - 7
NetbtPriority - 8
Lan Browsing speedup - optimized
QoS: NonBestEffortLimit - 0
ToS: DisableUserTOSSetting - 0
ToS: DefaultTOSValue - 240
MaxNegativeCacheTtl - 0
NetFailureCacheTime - 0
NegativeSOACache Time - 0
LAN Request Buffer Size - 32768
Then select "Apply Changes" and reboot to take effect

VERY IMPORTANT TO DO THE FOLLOWING:
1. Under your LAN connection - properties - general tab, uninstall all the protocols there that you do not need. For a stand alone pc all you need is Internet Protocol TCP/IP.
2. Open IE and select tools - internet options - connections - LAN settings, make sure NOTHING there is checked.
3. ALWAYS connect your modem via ethernet (NIC) and make sure you have the latest drivers for your NIC from the manufacturer and set your duplex mode to "auto". If you are using a router make sure you have the latest firmware.
4. Clean out your temporary internet files with CrapCleaner.
5. Power cycle your modem i.e. unplug it for at least 15 seconds.
6. Download, update and scan with SpyBot S&D 1.4 EXACTLY as mnosteele has explained HERE & Ad-Aware SE 1.06 EXACTLY as mnosteele has explained HERE to remove any spyware then install and update SpywareBlaster 3.4 to stay spyware FREE. YOU MUST USE BOTH AD AWARE & SPYBOT TO ENSURE YOU ARE SPYWARE FREE SINCE ONE FINDS WHAT THE OTHER MISSES. If these 2 programs find a lot of things then please post a HijackThis 1.99.1 log for us to look at.
7. Make sure you do the faster web page tweak in our Help & Tips page.
8. If you have Zone Alarm as a firewall uninstall it and search your pc for the left over files.
9. Install Kerio Personal Firewall 2.1.5, it's FREE and uses next to no resources.
10. Do a FREE online virus scan from Kaspersky Webscan, make sure to check the option to use the EXTENDED DATABASE.
11. Make sure you have ALL of the latest Windows Updates.

8) ;D

I suspect your speedtest was done at a US site and thus showed a low value, probably due to network congestion at the international gateway router.

You should test for speeds at your ISP or a site within Singapore to get true comparisons between before and after tweaks.

I am in Bangkok on a 1024/512 kbps bandwidth and here are my speedtest results done at my ISP's site and also a US site for comparison. In addition, I did a 16 MB file download test as well at my ISP's site.

I have a slightly larger latency than you (285 ms) and this accounts for the lower speedtest result (by percentage) for the US site.

Speedtest at my ISP's site:

You are coming from 124.120.xxx.xxx : Mon May 15 23:30:38 ICT
56K 56K 56 Kbps 56 Kbps
64K 64K 64 Kbps 64 Kbps
128K 128 128 Kbps 128 Kbps
256K 256 256 Kbps 256 Kbps
512K 512 512 Kbps 512 Kbps
1M 1M 1000 Kbps 1000 Kbps
2M 2M 2000 Kbps 2000 Kbps
You You 926.998 Kbps 926.998 Kbps

A 16 MB file download speedtest at my ISP's site gives me 114 KB/s at 70% of downloaded point.

Speedtest result at http://www.testmy.net:
Your connection is: 371 Kbps or 0.37 Mbps
You Downloaded at: 45 kB/s
You are running: 6 times faster than 56K and can Download 1 megabyte in 22.76 second(s)
