Tweaking is a term used to denote improving one's system performance. Here in the Tweaks Forum, we strive to improve your download speeds (upload can not be adjusted) as much as possible, as well as to fix other TCP/IP (speed-related) problems that you might have.

The two things to focus on most are your RWIN (Receive Window) and MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) settings. These two are truly about the only things that affect speed.

The Tweaks Forum prides itself in assisting users on a one-on-one basis, as opposed to simply telling you to download something (such as a "speed patch") to do it for you. Every user's line can be different, thus the tweak being different, too.
