Great, speeds have taken a dive again. It's gone from a stable 20-25 KB down to 6-10 KB. Feels like I'm on a roller coaster here.
 
I just cancelled it. It's only worthwhile if all you do is browse the web. I'm back on Afrihost for the moment, and will try out Screamer in January.
 
Anybody else getting error 733 when trying to connect?

Had to use my Afrihost details to post here.

Yes, speeds seem to have slowed.

Here too, it was looking so much better but now it's just decreased again.

So i left this thread on page 100 some odd. come back to see 30 extra pages. Oh the joy. DC worked for what ... a day?
 
Reading this, in the "Recieve Window" topic,

How large should the TCP Receive Window be?

Receive Window should be larger than bandwidth delay product (also known as pipe capacity).

For example, for 170ms delay on a 768Kbps link, RWIN = 768000 bits/sec * 0.170 sec = 130560 bits = 16320 bytes.

Note that if either available bandwidth or the delay is doubled, RWIN would double as well. On LAN links the delay is very small. Therefore, a small RWIN would be sufficient. However, effect of insufficient RWIN size become particularly noticeable on WAN links. Due to relatively small default RWIN size (8KB) Windows 95, 98, NT 3.51 and NT 4.0 throughput would suffer in above 768Kbps connection during file transfer via FTP. Windows 2000 uses a more realistic 16KB default for RWIN. However, that too would need to be increased depending on pipe capacity.

Well, that looks rather simple but latency (delay) is actually not constant. It varies from connection to connection and even during the lifetime of one connection as some IP packets may follow different routes and the heavy load on a router in the path may cause extra latency.

and considering that I'm on a 384k line, should my TCP Window be 16000?

Since SG TCPOtimizer shows it to be 24820 http://mybroadband.co.za/photos/showphoto.php?photo=13995&cat=500

Also, won't everyone using a particular ISP, optimizing their settings, remove much of the packet loss?
