Increase Bandwidth in Windows

A little tweak for Win-XP. Microsoft reserve 20% of your available bandwidth for their own purposes. (They don’t tell us why)

Here's how to get it back:
Click Start-->>Run-->>type gpedit.msc

This opens the group policy editor.

Then go to:

Local Computer Policy-->>Computer Configuration-->>Administrative Templates-->>Network-->>QOS Packet Scheduler->>Limit Reservable Bandwidth

Double click on Limit Reservable bandwidth. It will say it is not configured, but the truth is under the 'Explain' tab:

"By default, the Packet Scheduler limits the system to 20 percent of the bandwidth of a connection, but you can use this setting to override the default."

So the trick is to ENABLE reservable bandwidth, and then set it to ZERO.

This will allow the system to reserve nothing, rather than the default 20%.

I have tested on Win-XP Pro, and Win2000.
Other OS were not tested.

Please give me your feedback.
