Milo: This program is so useful, I felt the need to share with the thread. It will increase throughput far more than Intels Netburst technology If you have DSL or Cable this program really works well. It opens multiple sessions to increase throughput. I went from 200KB/s to 450KB/s(4000kbps). It blew me away speedbit.com *COUGH* This is not a nice program. For a given xDSL or Cable area, the available bandwidth is shared depending on the number of connections open (well, actually the number of packets, but the doubling the number of connections also doubles the number of packets per unit time). So what you are basically doing is taking more than your share of bandwidth. Where does this extra bandwidth come from? Your neighbors (and anyone else in the same DSL "area"). The solution to this (to be implemented by your ISP) is known as "fair-queuing". The best type would be to queue packets based on a unique userID, but queuing based on connection type (ftp, http, udp etc) and MAC and/or IP-address is more common. The problem is that fair-queuing is not very mature and support is just plain miserable, but the need is certainly increasing by the day - mainly due to programs like the above. -fyo
