Description: | A big problem for Windows 95/98 users is their system running out of RAM. When this happens, Windows uses virtual memory instead of clearing the disk caches, putting a strain on your system resources.

|
|||||
Description: | Speed up your download time by corresponding the size of your information packet with the maximum transfer unit size (MTU). The program changes the MTU from the default setting of 1,500 bits to 576 bits, which is better suited to the TCP/IP rate over the Internet. The change speeds up your downloads as it reduces the need to re-send information due to packet loss as there are fewer fragmented packets of information received. The program features a useful ping routine to find out what your optimum MTU is for greater precision, as well as the ability to quickly edit your modem initialisation strings. | ||||
