Increase your bandwidth by 20% (XP)
Windows XP reserves 20% of your bandwidth for its own use (updates etc)
It keeps it wether it needs it or not. By following this simple guide you can regain that bandwith for your own use.
1. Browse to c:\windows\system32 and click on gpedit.msc
this opens the group policy editor
2. open computer config > administerative template > Network > QOS packet scheduler.
3. Double click on "Limit Reserveable Bandwidth"
4. Enable bandwidth limit and set to 0 (see also explain tab).
all done you will now have a faster connection.

Luke,
If disabled or not configured it defaults to 20%. You didn't read it did you? Enable and enter 0.
