increase your speed

i got this little tut. from another site so it's not my own work, but this works great so im sharing.



open the Terminal and type "sudo -s" to access root

-type "sysctl -w net.inet.tcp.recvspace=65536" then press enter (increases recieve buffer size)

-type "sysctl -w net.inet.tcp.sendspace=65536" then enter (increase send buffer size)

- type "sysctl -w net.inet.tcp.delayed_ack=0" then enter (increase your Mac's response time)

-type "logout" then enter (if its a login shell)

This hack only works for the current boot up (it will be gone next time you start up) so let's fix that:

-type "sudo pico /etc/rc"

find the last line that should read "exit 0"
NOTE: The "exit 0" line is the very last line in the text. You need to hold the down arrow key in order to reach this line.
since we want the effect to take place during all boot ups,

-type the 3 sysctl commands again right above the "exit 0" line, writing one per line
