BroadbandOptimizer
i've just installed the program and i was wondering what are the appropriate settings for my DSL connection which is at 384k
the defaults are
net.inet.tcp.sendspace: 65536
net.inet.tcp.recvspace: 65536
net.inet.tcp.delayed_ack: 0
net.inet.udp.recvspace: 73728
which setting do you suggest me to change or just leave it as it is.
Thanks

All it does is set values in BSD, and set the startup file to do them on every boot.
The values that it sets are for people with very fast connections - like FiOS.
If you don't have that kind of connection it won't do much of anything.
Test out changing the settings by going to Terminal and typing
sysctl net.inet.tcp.recvspace
To see what your receive window is.
If you want to change it, type
sudo sysctl -w net.inet.tcp.recvspace=NNNNNN
Where NNNNNN is the new receive window value. If your original one was say, 64000 or thereabouts, try 384000 and then see if you can tell a difference in download speed (download a huge file like ftp1.optonline.net/test64 and watch the speed in Safari's Download window).
