Increasing Band-Width By 20%:
Microsoft reserves 20% of your available bandwidth for their own purposes like Windows
Updates and interrogating your PC etc
To get it back:
cl!ck Start then Run and type " gpedit.msc" without quotes.This opens the group policy
editor. Then go to:
Local Computer Policy then Computer Configuration then Administrative Templates then
Network then QOS Packet Scheduler and then to Limit Reservable Bandwidth.
Double cl!ck on Limit Reservable bandwidth. It will say it is not configured, but the truth is
under the 'Explain' tab i.e."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%.It works on Win 2000 as well.
