1306=MSS value derived from selected MaxMTU value:
1307=The MaxMTU value controls the size of your data packets. Generally, the higher your bandwidth the higher your MaxMTU
1308=should be. The MSS value, which is important for RWIN (see Manual 2 screen), is derived automatically as MaxMTU-40.
1309=Activate MTU Auto Discovery
1310=When this is selected the server and client will automatically try to negotiate an MTU value.
1311=Caution: This can override the above settings. Not supported by all servers.
1312=Other Settings
1313=NDI Cache Size:
1314=Only supported under Windows 95, 98 and Me! Although this setting is not
1315=documented most users have found that 16 produces optimum performance.
1316=Activate MTU Black Hole Detection
1317=Filters routers that don't return messages required for fragmenting packets. Can degrade performance.
1400=This screen and the Manual 1 screen enable you to configure all the settings for your adapter manually.
1401=For experienced users only! Every change can alter the speed and stability of your Internet connection!
1402=Select Help to see additional information on the individual parameters.
1403=RWIN (TCP Receive Window, max data received before confirmation)
1404=Let Windows control RWIN
1405=Use RWIN=MSS*4 (recommended for most systems!)
1406=Set RWIN manually (value range 28 - 372,300) :
1407=This parameter sets the number of bytes that a server can send before it expects an acknowledgement. Four
1408=times the MSS value (MSS*4) is optimal for most dial-up connections (and not the Windows default of 8192).
1409=IMPORTANT: The RWIN should always be an even multiple of the MSS value! However, the situation may
1410=be completely different for some ADSL and TDSL connections!
1411=Tcp1323Opts:
1412=Required for RWIN values above 65,535.
1413=Activate SackOpts
1414=This parameter enables Selective Acknowledgement, which is also advisable for large RWIN settings above 64K.
1415=TTL (Time To Live)
1416=Let Windows control TTL
1417=Set TTL manually (value range: 0 - 255):
1418=TTL determines how many servers data packets can pass through before they are considered lost and discarded.
1500=Clicking on Execute below will optimize the selected adapter with the settings displayed in the Manual 1 and Manual 2 screens.
1501=You can edit these settings manually or have the program choose the best settings with the options in the Automatic
1502=screen. If you are not sure how to adjust the settings please use the Automatic options!
1503=Selected adapter:
1504=Execute
1505=AUTOMATIC BACKUPS: Before optimizing the program automatically saves your current settings in a backup file. If the
1506=result is not effective (particularly with manual experiments) you can always restore your original settings by selecting
1507=the backup file in the Backups screen.
1508=NOTES:
1509=Optimization results can vary considerably depending on your configuration and can be masked by Internet congestion.
1510=The best way to assess results is to visit known websites several times at different times before and after optimizing.
1511=For more information see the Guidelines screen or select Help.
1520=WARNING:
1521=In rare circumstances optimization can slow down your Internet connection or even make it unstable. This is very unlikely,
1522=but it is possible. If this happens select BACKUPS and restore your original configuration. See Help for details.
1600=This screen contains important background information on optimizing dial-up Internet connections on Windows computers.
1601=Please study it carefully! Additional information is available in the WinOptimizer Suite online help.
1602=The speed of your Internet connection is only partly dependent on the settings and parameters you can adjust with
1603=programs like Internet Tuner. Performance is also dictated by the following important factors:
1604=- THE HARDWARE YOU USE TO ACCESS THE INTERNET (Modem, ISDN etc.)
1605=ISDN is faster than analog modems. DSL is faster than ISDN. Also, you never actually achieve the full theoretical
1606=throughput of any device. Some speed is always lost in the overheads for protocols, error correction etc. For example,
1607=if you have a 56KB modem you will never actually achieve the theoretical maximum throughput of 8KB per second. No
1608=software settings can can do anything to change the limits of your hardware. In fact, you can't even maintain
1609=the physical maximum for any length of time. This applies equally for modems and modern broadband links like DSL.
1610=- LOCAL LINE QUALITY
1611=Local telephone line quality is something people often forget, and it's particularly important for analog modems. Line
1612=quality varies considerably. Among other things, it depends on the type, age and condition of the local telephone cables.
1613=Poor quality and/or old cables mean less effective connections, on which data may need to be resent more often.
1614=- THE PERFORMANCE OF YOUR INTERNET SERVICE PROVIDER
1615=If your Internet provider is slow even the best modem, lines and optimization won't help. If your provider only sends
1616=the data at 5KB per second there's nothing you can do at your end to improve performance. The only solution in a
1617=situation like this is to hope that your provider improves, or to change your provider.
1618=- THE SPEED OF THE INTERNET SERVER YOU ARE ACCESSING
1619=The quality and performance of Internet servers (and thus the web pages you access) also varies considerably!
1620=For example, if you access a website on an overloaded server that is only sending out the data at 5KB per second
1621=then even the world's fastest provider and broadband connection can do nothing to improve the situation. The speed
1622=of Internet servers depends on the server hardware, the number of users accessing the server and the bandwidth of
1623=the lines connecting the server with the Internet. The more users online, the slower the server will be.
1624=IN A NUTSHELL:
1625=The possible performance improvement depends on these factors and how well your computer was configured to start with.
1700=This screen provides functions for creating and restoring backups of all Internet settings that can be changed by
1701=this program. A backup of your original settings is created automatically the first time you start the program. If the
1702=settings applied by Internet Tuner don't produce the desired results you can always restore your previous settings.
1703=Your stored backups are displayed below. Always make a backup before experimenting with manual changes!
1704=GENERATE: Select Generate to store a backup of your current settings and add it to the backups list.
1705=RESTORE: To restore the settings stored in a backup file select the backup in the list then choose Restore.
1707=DELETE: To delete a backup file select the file in the list and choose Delete.
1710=Delete
1711=Generate
1712=Restore
1800=The best way to test your system's Internet performance is to download a large file to your computer. Larger files provide
1801=more accurate results. We have set up files of three different sizes on our server for this test, or you can download a file
1802=from a location of your choice (the server is in Germany, you may want to use a server closer to you).
1803=USING THE DOWNLOAD TEST FILES: Select Get TEST URLs to display the file addresses in the fields below.
1804=Then choose a file and click on Download. The average throughput rate will be displayed during and after the test.
1805=SECURITY: The test is completely anonymous. No data of any kind is transferred to the server.
1806=
1807=USING YOUR OWN URL: Enter the address of a known file (2MB or more) in the Own URL field and proceed as above.

1813=Own URL for test file:
1814=DOWNLOADING: Your computer must be online! Select a file or enter a file address in Own URL, then click on Download.
