Windows Xp Trick 20% Bandwidth Back

this is not a program i know, so please if i posted this in the wrong section just have a mod move it to the right section thanks

WINDOWS XP TRICK

Microsoft reserve 20% of your available bandwidth for their own purposes (suspect for updates and interrogating your machine etc..)

Here’s how to get it back:

Click Start–>Run–>type “gpedit.msc” without quotes

This opens the Group Policy Editor. Then go to:

Local Computer Policy –> Computer Configuration –> Administrative Templates –> Network –> QOS Packet Scheduler –> Limit Reservable Bandwidth

Double click on Limit Reservable Bandwidth. It will say it is not configured, but the truth is under the ‘Explain’ tab :

“By default, the Packet Scheduler limits the system to 20 percent of the bandwidth of a connection, but you can use this setting to override the default.”

So the trick is to ENABLE reservable bandwidth, then set it to ZERO. This will allow the system to reserve nothing, rather than the default 20%.

Thanks for this. I'll give it a try.
