Existing users, 
Nate, you are correct. DSL and cable modems operate in the 65,000 send/recieve area. This software opens that window up to 131,000+ and 358,000+ send and recieve. This could drastically degrade performance for online games where you need small amounts of data as fast as possible. On DSL and Cable modems this software would actually DEGRADE performance. I hope this clears up any misunderstandings people have.
Also, this program isnt needed in OS X if you know how to use the terminal.

would someone be kind enough to elucidate the comment "know how to use the Terminal"? What has to be entered in the Terminal window that will enhance DSL connectivity and overall performance?Tuesday, November 29 2005 @ 05:20 AM PST

Forget this rigid, non-tweakable idea from Apple - Andreas..
man sysctl will give you the answer. Start with sysctl -a and decide what to tweak. BUT... just using Terminal isn't really enough because a re-boot will destroy all your work: you also need a file in /Library/StartupItems. If you don't know how to create that 'by hand' then get either BroadbandOptimizer or RMAC and the whole thing is very simple - and gives you the elasticity to set things to suit your setup that Apple's pathetic idea doesn't even try to do.

Be careful of this thing. You may not be able to restart your machine after installing it. Still in recovery here...Reply to This
