Help:Speeding up International browsing...

proff · Dec 18, 2006

Hi All

I am on a 4MB DSL line and I never get close to the advertised speed on International browsing

- Not on my normal SAIX account nor on a wEB aFRICA unshaped account. Is there any way of speeding up international browsing?

Like a proxy / VPN service maybe? If there is, please point me in the right direction as I am becoming hugely frustrated.

Thx
Proff

I have found

Single thread downloads run about 50KB/s
Multi thread downloads run around 420KB/s

Dont know how to increase the single thread speed

Why not run a speed test from

Anyone know of a better speedtest

Also, are you synching at the full 4098?

Not sure ZA_medic. I'll check the synching tonight. What can I do if it does not sync at full speed?

Thx

Not a speed test but this will tell you if your set up is tweaked correctly ie getting maximum throughput/data stream etc.
