Let's start the free acceleration of the Internet with optimization of the operating system itself. In the most common operating system that users use - Windows XP Pro has a small loophole. In Windows XP, the service QoS ( Quality of Service) appeared. This service is used for specific functions, and most users do not need it. The fact is that QoS reserves for its tasks 20% of the bandwidth of the channel. In addition, it should be taken into account that it does not matter which channel you have - a normal Dual Up or Gigabit Ethernet - 20% is reserved for QoS.
So, first thing we need to disable this service is to release the channel and increase the speed of the Internet. For this, go to Start -> gt; Run , dial msconfig .In the menu that appears, select the tab of the Service, and look for the QoS RSVP in the list. Then turn it off.
However, that's not all. Now run the applet Group Policy , for this in the Start - & gt; & gt; Run dial gpedit.msc , then select Local Computer policy, and there Administrative templates. After that select Network - QoS Packet Sheduler. In this menu, disable the Bandwidth limit , or reduce it from 20% to 0. But we have not completely disabled QoS.Now go to Device Manager , select "Show hidden devices", and there we remove QoS devices. I want to make a reservation right away that many people say that QoS is a myth. Then check the ping with QoS enabled and turned off - you'll see right away. And remember, to completely disable the channel reservation - you need to perform all the actions.
Now, in the settings of the router or modem, set the MTU value to 1492. This value is optimal for ADSL or a dedicated line. For a conventional Dual Up modem, it's better to set the value to 576.
Basically, we did everything to optimize the operating system to increase the speed of the Internet. Now proceed to the software. To increase the speed of the Internet, various programs are used that perform various functions. For example, these are the programs - internetwork monitors , which not only protects from hacking and information leakage, but also allow to increase the speed of the Internet. There are also programs that allow you to compress information on a third-party server. Perhaps, let's start with firewalls or in common people - FireWall.
The firewall allows you to protect your computer from unauthorized access. Nevertheless, it has functions that allow you to speed up your Internet. Such functions, for example, include blocking pop-ups, advertisements, and the like unnecessary nonsense, which slows down the speed of the site's download. The fact is that many graphic elements have a lot of weight. As a rule, for the creation of banners are taken beginners and non-professional designers who are even able to make mistakes in advertising banners. Of course, there is no question of optimizing images. In consequence of this, the images on the banners are quite large. Loading image data takes a lot of time. As you know, this slows down the speed of the site load. Yes, there are plugins for browsers that help get rid of banners - banner ads. However, these plug-ins have a lot of disadvantages, while you can configure the firewall to the smallest detail.
So, let's consider the firewall configuration based on Agnitum Outpost .Agnitum Outpost is one of the best firewalls. Lower the security settings, and go directly to the settings of Outpost to speed up the Internet. So, first of all, we set up ad blocking. To do this, enter the text, which is often found in banners and advertisements. Outpost has an extensive database of templates that you can use without any problems. In addition, you can adjust the size of images that will be blocked. In this menu are all the sizes of banners, so setting this parameter will not take much time.
After setting up mail blocking, you can configure the blocking of additional items, such as Active X or Pop-Up.
We got rid of unnecessary images that slow down the download. Now the couple use another program - now we will compress traffic.
So, to compress traffic, there are a lot of programs. These programs work as a proxy server. They turn to servers, which in turn compress traffic( 35% - 70%).Accordingly, you save on traffic, and speed of loading of pages increases. Compressed not only textual information, but also graphic.
However, almost all programs of this type are paid. Of the free programs can be noted Toonel .Note that for this program to work, you need a Java virtual machine. Make sure that it is available at the address - C: ProgramFilesJava. If not, then just download it to the address - http: // java.com /ru/download/ windows_xpi.jsp?locale = ru and download the program. After that, we install Toonel and start to configure it.
Toonel allows you to compress traffic not only on the local server, but also on the remote server. Depending on the required option, configure the program. In the example, let's look at the local proxy server variant:
hostname: 127.0.0.1 localport: 8080 web interface port: 7999 Do not forget to configure the JPG compression.
Now you need to configure the programs whose traffic you are going to compress. Consider the example of the browser. Go to the proxy server settings, and enter the data that you configured in Toonel.
Then the program starts to compress traffic. That the traffic was compressed - the program should work constantly. In a similar image, the other programs are configured, the traffic of which must be compressed. ..
This is where the active ways of speeding up the Internet ended. Now let's proceed to the passive.
Passive ways to accelerate the Internet
Passive ways to speed up the Internet can be attributed only to the configuration of the browser. Moreover, you can configure only Opera 10 , for everything else you need to do all the above actions. Firefox itself does not compress traffic, Opera, until version 10 compresses it slightly. All you can do with these browsers is to disable images. However, this feature should not be included, as many sites are incorrectly mapped, and simply do not load without images, or the text is invisible. Therefore, disabling images does not result in the desired effect.
However, Opera 10 has a new option - Turbo .This option is similar to the Toonel operation. So if you plan to use Opera 10 - Toonel can not be installed.
In this article, we examined the main free ways to speed up the Internet. And everyone will decide - in what way to speed up the work of their network. The choice is yours.
