Download DRTCP from this page to your desktop. Open it and enter desired value for TCP Receive Window (RWIN). Click Save, then Exit and Re-boot your PC so that the change will "take."

Vista has a new auto-tuning stack. Tweaking the TCP Receive window is usually unnecessary.

"Can I use this in Window 7 64bit?" - Unfortunately no. Windows 7, like Vista has an auto-tuning stack. The auto-tuning can be disabled but it works well and shouldn't be messed with unless you know what you're doing. DRTCP and RWIN tweaking will not work with an auto-tuning stack. Auto-tuning can be disabled but there's little reason to do so; it works well. HTH

I just upgraded my uverse from 3 mbs to 12...att techs laptop and 2 of my friends could hold that speed. however, neither of my dell laptops would break 5. ran drtcp and changed the rwin value to 300000 and done. holds 11.5 all day. thanks you saved me a lot of trouble.
