DESCRIPTION
Like most operating systems, MacOS X doesn't come out of the box to take full advantage of a high-speed, broadband internet connection. Luckily, because of its Unix base, there's an easy fix for that. By making certain tweaks to your network settings, you may be able to almost double your download speeds.

NC14UK  Do NOT use this programme.

I installed and not only did it lower my connection speed, but even after uninstalling and repair disk permission my Finder is slow to load a new window. It won't always find my external drive. It's slow to load any other windows.

It repositioned itself in the bottom left of the screen and takes up to 2 minutes for it to recognize my mouse dragging it to the centre.

My machine is slower now due to this programme and I am considering reinstalling the whole of Mac.

Running iBook G4 10.3.9

DO NOT USE THIS PROGRAMME!  (Version 1.5)

router on a comcast cable modem.

3.41 Mbbps download and 420Kbps upload when tested at www.internetfrog.com.

Definitely warrants a donation...IMHO
