How to boost internet connection download speed?

Posted by Davor Saturday, May 22, 2010


I will count several tips for making your internet download speed faster so here we go...


  • 1. 10 to 15 percent of your bandwidth is used by TCP headers. Now this is not a waste is a need to maintain the line properly. This bandwidth is required to resend the lost packets and rectify the errors while sending information. However it can be reduced or optimized so that, Windows uses only how much it needs. 
  • 2. Memory leaks in Windows Vista and Windows 7. This severely hampers the internet connection. It can be rectified by installing the patch released from Microsoft.
Links to the Windows 7 patch 979223. Please make sure of your version of OS.


  • 3. Optimize the TCP/IP registry settings.

For most of us it is a bit complex to edit the registry settings. So, I will provide a link to a program which will easy the process to bits. Select your Internet speed in the software, and select the optimal settings button, and it will do the registry optimization for you. This will also resolve the first issue.Please take a backup of your registry before proceeding from regedit. It could increas speed by almost 15 percent.

  • 4. If you are using IE it would be better to switch over to Chrome or Firefox with the recommended add-ons. These are much secured and much faster than IE IMO.
  • 5. If you are using a Internet security pack always make sure to keep your browser and download agent in exclusion of scanning incoming and outgoing connection. It severely hampers your connection as it unnecessarily scans the connection, and hence induce heavy delay. It is enough to scan the downloaded file fully after the download is completed.
  • 6. Always make sure your computer is free of infection. they not only steal your private info, but also hogs on your net speed.
