I have been getting rather slow bandwidth reports from
www.dslreports.com while using ShareTheNet. Under a "tweaked" windows
system, I have been getting about 1200 Mbps down / 315 up on my ADSL
line, but with ShareTheNet, both upstream and downstream speeds are only
about 300 Mbps. dslreports detects my TCP Receive Window (RWIN) as
having a value of 8192, and recommends a value of 65536 for fast DSL
connections. I have been reading a lot of linux newsgroups, and the
gurus out there running DSL on Linux boxes recommend setting the TCP
Receive Window value as follows:
echo 262144 > /proc/sys/net/core/rmem_default
echo 262144 > /proc/sys/net/core/rmem_max
(where 262144 is 65536 times 4...I don't really understand that part,
but if it works I don't care)
I have seen this in several places, so I am assuming I need to do
something like this, but I have no idea how to implement this within
ShareTheNet...simply executing this as a manual override from the HTTP
interface does not work. Any ideas?
