Speed up Internet Explorer 4,5&6

[StuntMonkey]

This is not P2P related but a very usful tip.
Before you start, for any n00bs out there modifiying you registry can result in * up your PC. Do not try this unless you are confident you know what you are doing.

1. run regedit from the command prompt in windows.

2. navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER>Software>Microsoft>Windows>CurrentVersion>Internet Settings.

3. Have a look in the right-hand window and see if there are two strings named MaxConnectionsPerServer and MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server. Double click on the strings to change the value. If they are not there go to step 5.

4. Change as follows
MaxConnectionsPerServer = 6
MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server = 8
[Finished]

5. If the strings are not there you will have to create them. Right-click in the right hand side of the window where all the strings are and select New>DWORD Value.

6. Enter MaxconnectionsPerServer as the string name and hit [Enter].
7. Do the same again but instead call the string name MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server.

8. Go to step 4.

Hope this makes sense. If in doubt ASK, I will gladly help.
If anyone wants me to explain how this speeds up I.E. I will write another post explaining.

[dragon_son]

how do it speed it up??? and can those numbers be higher???

[StuntMonkey]

Internet Explorer 4,5&6 are designed to comply with Hypertext Protocal 1.1. This dictates that a web browser should draw no more than two steams of data from a web server at any one time. The thing is, your browser's capable of getting many more streams than that, and if you increase the number it's looking for, you vastly speed up the web page download process.

I do not know what happens if you increase the numbers, experiment yourself and post any findings back here.

[VB]

This will indeed speed things up, specially for high bandwidth users.

It is possible to increase the numbers a bit more, just don't go higher than 10.

[the flinger]

is this dangerous at all, even the slightest bit, even if you back up the registry/ whats a good registry tool?

[dragon_son]

what it i set it at like 9999 what would happen would my comp fry or would the net go really fast?????

[CandyMann_69]

It would blow up in a big explotion of course. ;D

[dragon_son]

lol when i put 10 in the MaxConnectionsPerServer it goes to 16 but when i hit 9 it goes to nine so i left it at nine

[VB]

Setting the numbers to a big value won't blow up your computer, but it won't have any speed benefits either.

Just hold 10 as a maximum value.

It almost never happens that you have 10 or more donwloads from the exact same server. And if you do, those 10 will probably already use all available bandwidth.

[StuntMonkey]

This will indeed speed things up, specially for high bandwidth users.

It is possible to increase the numbers a bit more, just don't go higher than 10.


It should speed up for all types of connections.
I have a 56k dial-up and the pages now load like the speed of ISDN.

[VB]

lol when i put 10 in the MaxConnectionsPerServer it goes to 16 but when i hit 9 it goes to nine so i left it at nine


10 in hexadecimal notation is 16 in decimal notation
A in heximal notation is 10 in decimal notation

When you edit the value you can switch between hexadecimal and decimal notation.

I followed the directions and found the right place. When there i hadnt got the MaxconnectionsPerServer so i attempted to make a new one. When i do it says it already exists(?) but it isnt in the list. Any suggestions?

???

I tried all that...my system slowed.

Using Broadband Cable with Explorer 6...anyone tell me what happened??? ??? :-

[dragon_son]

try www.systemmechanic.com (http://www.systemmechanic.com) it is a very good too just wish i could find the full version on kazaa so i didnt have to reinstall every 30 days

[tracydani]

try www.systemmechanic.com (http://www.systemmechanic.com) it is a very good too just wish i could find the full version on kazaa so i didnt have to reinstall every 30 days


What does it do?

[Rat Faced]

Exactly what it says on the box.

Delete Junk from registry, history etc as well as tweek your network settings to optimum performance depending upon your conection type.

Can also manually stop it interfering with things you rather it didnt or set it to work automatically every night, week etc.

Also manafes startup items etc etc

yes, pretty coo, get the full version on kaza, its there, its 1,514 kb and called system mechanic 3.6 + serial :)

[the flinger]

i have that. its some good stuff. and for those like enron, it has a safe delete. guess i forgot to post it! oops, hey x, keep posting!

;) , tell me anything else that anyone needs help with and i'll help

[theX]

ladies and gentlemen, above was the original me, now this is the REMIX

Bringing this back up for new people.

Having just re-installed my OS, I found out just what a differance this tip really makes :D

My surfing was going very slow till I remembered I needed to make these changes to the registry :)

[Lamsey]

I think that TCPIP Optimiser does this for you. It's a freeware download.

You can download it from the 'net (http://www.btinternet.com/~connetica/tcpopt.htm) or from KaZaA (do a search).

If you use TCPIP Optimiser, set it to 'extreme' - speeds things up for most people.

When running it click OPTIMAL SETTING, reboot your computer and youll see the difference :D

Isn't this the same principles what a program called Broadband wizard does?

[the-ninja69]

I did what you said and I noticed a huge improvement. I usually had a download speed of about 2800 and now it is 4000+. On a recent speed test from this site I received 4447 download. I mean I thought it was capped at 3000 but from these speed tests I noticed that is not the case. I was wondering will I get in trouble with my ISP(Adelphia) for doing this because I'm concerned about. Thanks. :o

[BROCKSTER]

you shouldnt do ur only optimising the speed :P

Excellent tip StuntMonkey it works like a dream.I always wonder how people find out these things

[hevenom635]

I just reinstalled Windows XP pro and was going to edit this but when I checked mine said
MaxConnectionsPerServer = 10
MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server = 20

Should I still change them?
*edit*-oops I forgot
I used Tweakmaster so I don't know if that will change the settings

[bestoutof2]

that is too much stuff to do just too speed up that and that was a sorry example :P

[Shinigami_[R.I.P.]]

Sorry to sound such like a n00b but will this also speed up AOL and downloads or just I.E.? :blink: :unsure: It's ok if you don't know the answer...

[tracydani]

@Shinigami....I don't know(nOOb) :D

Glad this is still helping, StuntMonkey's tip has helped me plenty :)

I'll have to look up the programs mentioned above cause I will probably have to do this several times in the near future.

[KazaaSearch]

wow this tip is cool
i will try tomorrow at work
Paul, I use regedit to convert hex to decimal and vice versa when analyzing memory dumps or binary files LOL
there shoul be some small progs like calculators that do this thing, anyone can suggest?
standard calc.exe sucks so much; this little proggie definitely needs more calc.ium to become strong or grow up B)

Hi - I went into the registry locations as suggested and found the following entries for MaxConnection etc -- Should I change them or am I already optimised?



MaxConnectionPer1_0Server REG_DWORD 0x00000020(32)
MaxConnectionPerServer REG_DWORD 0x00000020(32)

I have a broadband 512kb/s ADSL Coonection and am running Windows2000 SP3

hello ... B)

for dsl i think it is ok what paul said: set it to 10 both.

depending on operation system, there are other reg values you may change:

this is an information from r. schlabbach, developer of RASPOOE 0.98 driver for dsl:

you can read all the things for win9x and win2k and so on here (http://www.gschwarz.de/tdsl_2.htm#registry2000)

it's a german website, but i am sure you find your os and then you can read the regs entries.
also you can find patches. :)

Thanks guys! But I believe my setting is showing in Hexidecimal(?) So is this really already set at 10 or is it 20?

[imported_uncle_cracker]

hello again B)

10 (decimal) A(hexa)

here the website of the developer of RASPOOE. robert schlabbach (http://user.cs.tu-berlin.de/~normanb/)

you can find a lot of information and can make changes if you use this protocol for your dsl conection.

It does not seem to improve mine much...


I have broadbnad, windows 98, and a 299MHz processor.


Any sugestions?

Try this out. It is a program called datefool that fools your program into thinking that it is still within the trial period.

[dwightfry]

For those who don't understand how hexidecimal works, it's pretty simple

decimal is based after the number 10

hexidecimal is based after the number 16


so

decimal = 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20...etc

Hexidecimal = 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,a,b,c,d,e,f,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,1a,1b,1c,1d,1e,1f....etc

What I don't know is why it was created in the first place? Was it to fit larger numbers into smaller space, or something else?

yes indeed. you can "show" very large numbers without needing much place, e.g. for memory adressing and memory content.

for example: FFFFFFFF (16) equals 4294967295 (10)

and don't forget the magic "8" and in the past also the magic "16" in computer technology.

sorry ... my english isn't good enough to find the right words for this.

Great info drakkie I have been using SM ver 3.7 did not try to use the internet setting option untill I read your post ,workedgreat on my ppope dsl setup thanks

[Acecool]

Win2k pro

I am trying this, I had to add in the details but anyway...


Yeah I have a dsl 100 kb down, 15 - 20 up right now

BUT

I also have my 10mbit connection
1280kbs down
something up LOL

what should I set for the 10mbit connection

50 100 ? :-P



Just waiting on the damned box then I can dl / upload at amazing speeds w00t

[It Wasn't Me!]

I found out If I hold down the shift key and breath in and out rapidly for one minute I get really dizzy. Try it that will speed things up also. ;)

[Acecool]

THIS WORKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I used to only be able to download 2 things at any given time, now I can dl ALOT more


great if you have 10 dls or so waiting at lame fileplanet lol

[POOt]

Hi,

ok, i was just working with this trick... and i just noticed my options in regedit are:

MAXCONNECTIONSERVERS: value is 14 on hexadecimal

MACCONNECTIONs PER1_ SERVER: value 28 on hexadecimal

is this mean that i dont have to change it? is it too large? too small? confusion :huh:

[the-ninja69]

I say just put both at 20 in hexadeciaml works great for me and ive had no problems. 6 and 8 are to damn small.

[the-ninja69]

I meant 20 in deciaml ooops.

[Evil_seru]

:D Thanks man, I'm on dial-up and its slow as $h!t, but I edited the reg. to what you said, and it doesnt take as long as it used to load a website. :D Thanks agian, and if you have anymore tips, share them please!

[Shinigami_[R.I.P.]]

Ok, yea, I tried this now (using I.E. for browsing instead of AOL) and it really does work. :D
Thank you StuntMonkey... whereever you are :rolleyes:

[OcramC]

what about in other browsers like netscape? does anyone have the settings for them

[serpico]

does this even speed it up if you have a Dial-up Connection and does this work for IE6 SP1?

[Shinigami_[R.I.P.]]

It might because it could use all your available bandwitdh to load that page.
It should work in IE 6.
Check in the registry to see if the values are in there or not and its your choice whether to do them or not.

[the-ninja69]

Stunt Monkey didnt figure anything out he just looked at a site and poster it here to get credit for it. I mean they've had this tweak on http://www.speedguide.net for like forever now. Hes full of shit and trys to get credit for something he read off of a site. :angry:

This is a kind of computor language, computors read this quicker, like binary. On my Amiga i had no way of getting cheats for games so i started to hack into them & the save files. It is all done using hexidecamal. If you have 1000 gold for example search the file for 03e8 & just increase the number for more gold. You will need a hex editor for this as note pad will not edit hex files properly. Usually all the players stats are in the same place, like if you have 3 lives, 20 bullets, 3 grenades ar whatever they will be there somewhere. I have only come across a couple of games that i could'nt hack.

Did that make sense to anyone???

PS most hex editors have a built in hex converter.

[summond_skull]

i have done what u said stintmonkey but how do i know that it speeded up my browser every thing looks the same. could u pleaz get registered so i could pm u cause u didnt leave ur e-mail so i can't contact u.

r u sure that this speeds ur browser up. how does it speed it up

[summond_skull]

do u change it to 6 or MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server6

[summond_skull]

ok i have changed it to 6 and 8. so will it be like this MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server8 or just 8.


i have a 56k modem and a 1100 mhz processor.

if it doesnt work shall i delete it or rename it to
MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server


pleaz help me my browser loads slow as a fat lady walkin on christmas eve

[Switeck]

TCP/IP Optimizer from www.speedguide.net can do this MUCH easier than dealing with hex codes and editing your windows registry.

HOWEVER...

If you are on WIN 95/98/98SE/ME, then you should NOT set this too high as they are ALL limited to 100 simultaneous ip connections -- exceed that, and your computer will slow way down and possibly crash.

Also consider how many connections Kazaa Lite++ is making -- especially with many sources PER download, multiple uploads going (and hidden uploads queued with upload requests coming in nearly constantly), and also supernode connections, your searches, and others listing all your shared files.

omg this does work ive noticed like a 10x improvment

[kAb]

if the DWORD values aren't there (maxconnection) then will it really help to add them?

[bigdawgfoxx]

OK...i just put like 14..20..10..3...1 and 100..i tried all of those and clicked X...and it made NO difference..do i have to save the new setting somehow? or are they already saved??

[MeMeMeSoHony]

Name Data
MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server 0x0000000a (10)
MaxConnectionsPerServer 0x00000008 (8)


Thats what i got....what the heck do i do now? Im super confused. please help me. Im a 56k user and it sucks having to wait so much for page to load. And NO i cant afford BB right now. :unsure:

[the-ninja69]

Yes u want to add those dword values into the registry in the location described at that start. Since you have 56k increasing those numbers from where they are will not do much.

56k blows ass and you should excpet slow web page loading, if you want faster pay more for broadband. You can only squeeze so much and optimze 56k to a point where it does not do anything anymore.

[zzzipie]

If you want higher speed, just use another browser as Opera (http://www.opera.com) or something, IE is crap
