Vista takes advantages of more
advanced hardware, such as the hybrid hard disk, gigabit
network...Welcome to the future! However, if you are just
like me, and other majority people out there, you need to
disable some advanced features to optimize the speed for
your current hardware.
Disable 2 features below to restore your file transfer and
download speed. You can expect 20% to 40% increase in speed,
but I doubt that Vista can run faster than XP in normal
condition.
Feature #1 - Remote Differential Compression (RDC).
RDC will compare, compress and transfer multiple files
across low bandwidth connection, such as the Internet.
However, this feature needs to be supported by remote
computer, and it will compare the files and update only the
newest version. It creates overhead between connections,
slows down high bandwidth and local drives' transfer rate.
To disable it, go to Control Panel -> Programs -> Turn
Windows Features On or Off, locate "Remote Differential
Compression" and uncheck it. Restart you computer.
Feature #2 - TCP Auto Tuning.
Despite how great its' sound, in actual fact, it creates
more overheads and problems. Vista will constantly monitor
and fine tune your network connection, but some unsupported
hardware will block and delay the operation.
To turn off TCP Auto Tuning, go to command prompt with
administrator rights (press Windows key, and type "cmd. exe"
without quote, then Ctrl+Shift+Enter), type "netsh interface
tcp set global autotuning=disable" to disable it. Use "netsh
interface tcp set global autotuning=normal" to re-enable it.
If you tun off TCP Auto Tuning, please do the manual
settings according or your Internet connection will not be
optimized.
