Has any1 installed this software? Apparently it increases packet transfer over the net.

Stay away.

Have you tried it?

 

[Rikus]

Yes.
Got many many corrupt zip files from it.
I wish people will stop believing these fast claims.
Nothing can speed up downloads.

I see. The whole 'ensures full downloads speed when uploading at full speed as well' was what was interesting me...

Cfos speed is a QOS application that is supposed to offer traffic shaping and increase the speed of your connection, I used the 2.02 version that was on the download page of the website.

After some tests I did with it on and off I found that it actually slows the connection quite a lot even when only uploading or downloading separate.
The QOS features do work I was able to play a game and upload unlimited and have a reasonable ping in the game but it comes at a huge speed cost.
