Why would I want to change my RWIN and how do I do it?

Changing your RWIN can drastically increase performance. Whenever you change your RWIN you should always perform 2 speed tests and a tweak test to see what it has done. You can keep changing it until you hit your sweet spot. The nice people in the forums will help you find your optimum RWIN. In order to change your RWIN you should either download Dr.TCP or manually edit the registry.
