	Marko First apply the fix, then try if you still have any problem post again. ____________

	Just an observation: My Pending Validation has risen from circa 2500 to circa 5200 since implementing the change (via TCP Optimiser). The two events may be related though. cheers I've noticed my pending climbing as well, but it started before i made the networking changes. I suspect it's related to the number of AP WUs out there (for those doing both AP & MB i suspect it's first in first out untill a MB WU gets close to it's deadline), combined which a whole bunch of shorties that have been going through. My pending was inching up prior to the change as well and took a hike following that. I suspect that the two are not related though. Shorties coming through like intermittent short showers but like a thundering storm. I am seeing the occasional stalled wu though (not box specific). Largest I have seen was 6 stalled wus out of 102 new tasks. cheers ____________

	As Richard Haselgrove said: "And to repeat, yet again - this thread is not about speed, it's simply about reliability. The idea is to get your downloads with no http errors, no backoffs." And as I say: So far, so good. But... Let's see what happens Tuesday! ____________

	I undertand the reason for this change and that it is not to increase or improve speed. However my problem with speed was outside of BOINC. In fact some sites are just fine I can at normal speed from hp.com and if others don't see speed issues it must be something with my corporate firewall or the Dell website. I have two Identical Win7x64 systems here in my office on one I applied the TCP1323 option and on the other the default windows. When I try to download from the Dell support site the pc with this setting changed only gets about 2KBps the system without this setting is connected to the same switch and is getting 100KBps. Can someone with Win7x64 who applied this try downloading this video driver from the dell site see what kinda of speed you get. I think it is just an isolated to the Dell.com website? http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/555/DriverDetails/Product/latitude-e6530?driverId=FW2RY&osCode=W732&fileId=3111115485&languageCode=en

	Another happy customer for the Tcp1323Opts registry fix. Gave it a try and it seems to have fixed the download issues. Of course, I didn't get any AP units after I tried it but things were so bad even the 300Kb non-AP ones were timing out. Not one timeout after the fix, and the affected host has been getting two minute CUDA shorties so has been constantly downloading since then. ____________ “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has.” --- Margaret Mead

That's for a machine running with the Tcpopts active - I'll go downstairs and try in on a control machine (Win7/32) I haven't patched yet, same DSL line. Edit - that machine, Win7/64 with the TCP optimisation, showed a slower average speed to start with, and gradually speeded up. The Win7/32 without optimisation started faster, but slowed down. They both ended up with almost exactly the same average overall.
