What is Reddit's opinion of TCP Optimizer?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Some versions of windows do have "safe" defaults for some networking settings that can hamper speeds on high-latency connections (mostly satellite internet), lines with high packet loss, or speeds higher or lower than expected.

TCP Optimizer can tweak these settings quickly, or provide an easy way to do a manual override.

Using this program I have had success in getting a computer that was incredibly slow internet wise of course going the speed it should, on the slider up top just set it to your speed click optimal on the radio button on the bottom and apply. I cannot guarantee anything of course i hope it does something though

Easier if you just use this: http://www.speedguide.net/downloads.php. Run it as admin.

Go to the MTU tab, on the lower left select largest MTU. It will calculate the value for you.

Once that's done, go the the general settings, from the lower right select Optimal then set the MTU that you got if it doesn't do it automatically. Make sure you select the correct adapter.

If you are using Windows: run TCPOptimizer from http://www.speedguide.net/downloads.php

Make sure your ports are forwarded if you are using a router. Do not use the default port 6881 or whatever. Use something like 45678.

You can choose not to ask for encryption on incoming connections "Allow incoming legacy connections".

If you're downloading from public trackers, you can pick up the hash from uTorrent for example : 43306B5297B4E93E09C365FB94A1FD2FDF75AE96

and search on torrentz

https://torrentz.eu/43306b5297b4e93e09c365fb94a1fd2fdf75ae96

Now, pick up the uTorrent compatible trackers and add these to uTorrent.

Peer Exchange is the best way to get more peers, and the latest versions of uTorrent have it enabled.

Please let us know if if that works, and if you still see room for improvement, reply back to me.

Yea from the looks of the problems you have described, it seems to be a latency issue. 300 ping is actually quite bad, I've seen people with 200-300 ping have very delayed reactions or even teleporting. Try using WLAN Optimizer if using a wireless connection or TCP Optimizer if not to improve your connection.

If you are also having FPS problems try looking up an FPS config which involves editing SMNC's graphics settings via editing UnrealEngine3's INI files.

Hello @Dornsinger:

If I may humbly offer some thoughts.

Encrypted VPNs can be used to bypass potential throttling issues on the ISP's end. They see it as just a stream of data and their throttling software tends to ignore that completely since they DO NOT want to slow down someone's banking or online shopping.

OpenVPN providers generally provide free time-limited trials without bandwidth restrictions during that time. Good for testing purposes.

I would recommend some myself but that might be seen as 'advertising' so I will refrain.

Also some helpful free no-install utilities.

GRC's DNS Benchmark; see if Google/OpenDNS is really better than your ISP (portable, no admin needed): https://www.grc.com/dns/benchmark.htm

SpeedGuide TCP Optimizer for easily tweaking things (portable, needs to be run as admin): http://www.speedguide.net/downloads.php

There are hover tooltips to explain what stuff to do and recommended gaming settings. Best thing is you can backup & revert any changes to safely test out different settings.

Advanced documentation: http://www.speedguide.net/articles/tcp-optimizer-4-documentation-windows-7-8-10-2012-5821

TCP Optimizer does the same stuff as the various WoW-related 'nagling' tweakers but in a safer, more comprehensive, reversible, and far more informative/transparent manner.

Talk with other people in your area to find out if you are all struggling to get decent internet.

If you are then you have found allies in the search for better internet and if you aren't then you may have found an option for better internet than you can also get.

And to survive until you get better internet I suggest using Firefox with uBlock Origin to block ads and SkyZIP to compress the connection so you can browse much faster (well .. much less slow anyways)

I use the same browser and addons on my android phone to browse faster and reduce my mobile data usage.

Then tweak your internet connection with TCP Optimizer
I remember from my dialup days (decades ago) that correctly setting the MTU size can give you a big increase in dialup performance.

Try starting with a dns cache flush. Run a cmd prompt as administrator and type "ipconfig /flushdns". Failing that you could look at your proxy settings. If you don't use a proxy, make sure one is not set. Next try TCP Optimiser from SpeedGuide.net

This all assumes you a running a version winduhs.

Hey man, firstly : don't worry!

Secondly check out this. It may help you a bit. Read about this soft on speed guide site. If you're at least a bit keen on computers you can play with the settings a bit , if not just use the optimal settings. Also you can always restore this to normal settings.

Hope this will help you ! (at least a bit )

I've played Smite for few months now but played only 2-3? league matches in the season 1. Maybe I'll start playing ranked games in some time. Now I'm happy with casuals and premades with my aswesome clan :)

Check for a driver update anyway. Windows uses generic drivers and it could be that since the adapter works, Windows doesn't register the driver should be updated.

If the driver is up-to-date, you could try configuring the settings with the program TCPOptimizer. First, use the Speedtest.net website to check your download and upload speeds. Use the download speed as input in TCPOptimizer, and then select "Optimal" as the preferred setting. Then click "OK" and reboot to apply the new setting.

Is it the game dropping frames or are you rubberbanding slightly? This game hates any kind of ping jitter so I'm usually boing boing all over the place at peak contention.

Could try using TCP Optimizer and setting it to modify all adapters then select optimized settings and apply.

If you're on windows 7 you could always try finding the csgo.exe and setting its compatibility options (right click>properties) to disable visual themes and desktop composition.

lol... uhhh, no. Actually, I've kind of stopped playing because of it. Sad really. If you look up my Dota2 profile (jiggajonson) i've logged more than 1,000 hours playing that game. I WANT to play but I've been playing Smite instead.

Of all the things I tried, using this: http://www.speedguide.net/downloads.php TCP Optimizer, in conjunction with talking to my ISP to get them to split my node at a certain point (use pingplotter and ping the dota 2 servers, google both) helped the most.

After everything I tried, I can play with relative smoothness now, but ---dude, the first time I died because of a lag hiccup again I was like "Okay, fuck this" and went off in search of another game. Give smite a try. :-p

Cable networks are typically shared lines. I used to have Comcast in my apartment, but instead of 20 Mb/s, I typically maxed out at 4 Mb/s. The line was shared by dozens or hundreds of apartments. I switched to DSL, and it was better.

That said, you might have Spyware messing with your line -- perhaps you're part of a Botnet?

Does anybody else using that line experience the same lag?

You could check out TCPOptimizer (freeware TCP/IP Stack Tuner for Windows)

Silly thing, but unplug the router for a few minutes, plug it back in, worth a shot.

Do you have any firewalls or security software that might be affecting throughput?

I'd say click this, and use TCP Optimizer. Make sure you save your settings you had before when using this. Also, as /u/cobalthawk said, try using a distro of Linux and booting off a USB stick, such as Ubuntu. If your issue persists on Linux, it is most likely a hardware issue.

Try TCP Optimizer v3.0.8 : http://www.speedguide.net/downloads.php (http://www.speedguide.net/tcpoptimizer.php)

It's like a gui for that sort of thing.

Thing is it won't fix your internet. Internet working off and on is not fixable with registry keys.

It's most likely on their end... Things you can do : download, burn, boot a linux live cd, test, doesn't work ?... not your XP's fault.

You could try the freeware program, TCP Optimizer. It tweaks some network settings so that your connection will be optimized. If it doesn't work, you can go back to a saved configuration, or just default all your connections across the board. Truth be told, I use this, and don't really notice any big difference.

If you use Firefox, you can also try the Fasterfox add-on. Same deal, it tweaks various settings, allows a return to Default, and I also use this. I DO notice a difference with this add-on, as it does open more paths to servers.

Last, and maybe least, you might want to Google "half-open connections Windows 7", and see if there's anything interesting there.

In my experience, wired has ALWAYS been more stable, and faster, than wireless. However, I can and do build most of my own cables, and I'm a network engineer.

TCP optimizer is really helpful, especially on dialup connections.
It's also a good idea to install adblock plus so you don't have to waste time download advertisements.

No difference in FPS, PING or RTT but did decrease VRAM by around 60mb. Not really a game-changer since it sits around 50-60% of total VRAM in general.

I think a better option would be to try Speedguide.net's TCP optimizer (SG TCP Optimizer) http://www.speedguide.net/downloads.php

Download -> Press Optimal, save and reboot.

Boa Noite,Não sei se você esta ainda respondendo,

1° , muita gente aqui na cidade anda reclamando da conexão via radio de uma operadora que não estão entregando a velocidade contratada, existe alguma possibilidade dessa operadora não estar suportando a demanda e não entregando a banda correta? se sim como proceder para cobrar ela

2° sobre portas de roteador internet, para abrir portas no roteadores para melhorar a latência em jogos isso não adianta para quem usa operadora via radio, é verdade que as operadoras via radio bloqueiam algumas portas do modem, se bloqueiam o faz por qual o motivo, aqui ja pedi a senha do modem mas eles não me dão a senha, porque é assim?

3° que tipo de conhecimento ou noção você gostaria que seus clientes ( os que reclamam de internet lenta, ping alto, Traffic shapping) obtivessem nessa sua area para que seus clientes parassem de te ligar sempre reclamando da mesma coisa

4° pois sobre latência da internet em games online, existe muitos e tutoriais sobre diminuir latência e tals e sempre é recomendado alguns programas, os que são usados são Leatrix Lantency Fix

cFosSpeeD

TCPotimizer

esses programas sabe dizer se eles são funcionais ? desculpa se essa pergunta fugiu muito do tema

You can try this, makes your computer more aggressive

I think this does it automaticly http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info16336-PingEnhancer.html

I use a manual approach with TCPoptimizer (the second tab where it has a gaming section) http://www.speedguide.net/downloads.php

or try this which is the same thing https://www.reddit.com/r/csgo/comments/5638ff/how_to_low_ping/

Use leatrix latency fix for less lag and fully optimize your internet connection through TCPoptimizer cuz ya ISP don't do jackshit for ya

Well its only a problem if you change windows default tcp setting by any sort of internet optimization apps. If you did it may affect your client hit detection. By going back to default you cancel any mess they did to your upd setting they did to your system. You can use tcp optimizer to goback to default http://www.speedguide.net/downloads.php. you should set your download speed on the app to your own . And if you are on default you can try the optimazed option. maybe that will do good for you.

Another client hit detection lag can be caused by ddos attack protection on you router if you have this option. And even nat option should be open for this game .. I myself even put dms server cause off my countrey setting.

This fixed the issue for me! Download SG TCP Optimizer Version 4.0.0, run as ADMIN, select optimal settings, set at your speed (100mbit for me). Also apply to all adapters.

This fixed the issue for me! Download SG TCP Optimizer Version 4.0.0, run as ADMIN, select optimal settings, set at your speed (100mbit for me). Also apply to all adapters.

The problem is either with the:

• Ethernet cable
• Computer's network card / drivers
• Router

Lets get the cable out of the way. Use the same cable you use to connect your pc to connect your laptop. Green light? Then its not the cable.

Go to your motherboard manufacturer's website and download drivers for your Ethernet controller (network card). Sometimes you can find newer drivers for that controller directly from the realtek site. Or use this utility.

Drivers all up to date and this is still happening? I don't want to rule out the router because you get full speed with direct modem connection on the same network card and the router gives full network speed to the laptop.

Now, a new network card will probably solve the issue. But it won't solve the problem. I believe there is a misconfiguration. It could be done within your antivirus, firewall, netlimiter, LanOptimizer, or router.

I'll assume it is not the router as you would need to specifically configure it to be annoying like that. My motherboard ships with LanOptimizer utlity and that could limit it. Some security software has this as well. Exit both of those. Another person dropped this link in the thread, that could be a solution. Lastly you could try this utlity: http://www.speedguide.net/downloads.php

Try to isolate it a bit further, I'm out of ideas beyond this.

Try SG TCP Optimizer for connection issues. If that doesn't work, definitely switch cable companies. And if you want things to load quickly, buy a samsung 850 SSD and 16GB of RAM. There's a deal for GSKill ripjaws today 16GB for $70. If you happen to be playing GTAV on a laptop, this post would make a lot more sense.

You can actually increase performance via tweaks on the user end.

This only gets your speed upto your ISPs rated connection.

Its generally only an issue for high bandwidth high latency networks. As in outside of the defaults that Windows has been tuned for.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bufferbloat

You can also use a tool like this to tweak parameters.

If you have a modern ISP in a developed country, then doing this will not really help you because most ISPs should already have all these settings set to push on their side to yours and vise versa.

However, if you notice your ping is much higher than others if your country, this could help you.

edit: because people are going to bash me for no reason, I decided to give this link: http://www.speedguide.net/downloads.php it basically does what the OP did but it's a much easier method. However... most people won't see any change.

Nope, as mentioned By SimplyJames . you really are restricting all your software with on 4g ram. you can try tcp optimizer to clean the packet transfers up, I believe there are several post about improving your FPs and graphics http://www.speedguide.net/downloads.php

What you mean by reupload? The file still exists, as it is hosted by speedguide.net. Simply click the Link and click on TCP Optimizer v3.0.8 in the upper left corner.

Note: This is for Windows user only.

After you have downloaded it, run the program, chose optimal and apply changes.

sure, give me a moment to find it, i'll edit the comment when I found it (approx 5 minutes)

EDIT: http://www.speedguide.net/downloads.php <- get TCP optimizer, just use the first mirror to download, then once its installed select the option ''optimal'' and restart your computer, it should allow you to connect to the port of the chat service, worked flawless for me

http://www.speedguide.net/downloads.php download this and open it, near the bottom of the window there is the option "optimal" select that, press accept, then restart PC.

This worked for me and some others, GL.

yo homey things I use to decrease my ping download the tool and watch the mini short video in how to use it:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-3qgsVi5J4 http://www.speedguide.net/downloads.php

also in combination I first install leatrix latency fix 3.x http://www.leatrix.com/leatrix-latency-fix

they seem to work very well together

You can try TCPOptimizer from Speedguide to get the best settings.

Look at the hosts file (C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc) to make sure there isn't something there causing the issue.

Also take a look at the Nirsoft Network tools, such as HTTPNetworkSniffer. They will let you see what's being passed to/from the PC.

Use TCP Optimizer (free) and cfosspeed (shareware 9.90€) to help get the most out of your connection.

.. I'm asuming you can't buy faster internet from a different provider.

I'm still not a big fan of Wifi, but I was doing some testing yesterday, and found the freeware program TCPOptimizer made my speeds 10x faster. I was rather surprised.

[](/solution) I tried these things listed on SpeedGuide.net along with their optimizer. I'm not certain they helped or not, but they're worth a try.

Something else I tried was viewing the list of WiFi networks around me with inSSIDer and switched channels. There were a lot of networks on the same channel as me.

Hopefully some of these things will help with my problem.

You can tweak your wireless or ethernet card using a tool called Tcp optimizer. And there are other speed test sites that will help you find the tweak you need....find the tool @

Dial-up is painful. You mentioned that you could do it with tethering your cellphone. That would be a faaar superior experience depending on the quality of your cell service. If WoW is the only program using bandwidth you won't be able to really cut done on any connections and such. Times were your ping is over 3 or 4 seconds are going to happen, 56k is tiny compared to what you need for a smooth experience.

But as far as recommendations, don't use any addon's that use bandwidth (Recount, etc) and use TCP optimizer

Before or after optimization with TCP Optimizer ?

.. I'm guessing you bought a 100mbit connection, and it looks like you could squeeze a little more out of it.

There are lots of guides to tweaking some settings to optimize your speed on a cable modem/DSL.

http://www.speedguide.net/downloads.php for example

I used to try these in the DSL days and it kind of worked but it's a bit technical for a noob. And with a 10 megabit cable connection at home I don't even feel the need anymore.
