Upload speed cap on Firefox?

Scrizz · Jun 28, 2009

Just as the title says. My upload speeds are capped on Firefox @3Mb/s.
If I use IE or Chrome, I get the full 20Mb/s. I've tried it on my other PCs; I get the same result.
Are you guys experiencing the same, or is it just me? :confused:

EDIT:

Solved: Just use Firefox version 3.5 or higher! Thx Mussels

You have 20mb/sec upload. I do not believe you are you at a school campus or library or something. That is not a standard connection for home users iam sure.

So it must be a type of leased line or symmetrical connection were the download and upload share the same quantity. So your upload and download should in real time about 2500 Kb/sec.

So if you're getting 3Mb/s that is spot on, a bit more than I would of estimated.

Correct me if I'm wrong because I could of misunderstood the question slightly.

don't get KB mixed with Kb
both my upload and download are 20Mb/s (~2500KB/s)

Hmm, then you shouldn't be shocked at 3Mb/s then?

Scrizz said:
It works fine in firefox 3.5 IE and chrome
my upload is 20Mb/s

there's 8bits in one byte (ie 20KB is 8x more than 20Kb)

Yeah I know

I misunderstood your original post.

Try this and see if anything changes - curious myself:

Internet Speed Tuning
go to desktop->My computer-(right click on)->properties->then go HARDWARE tab->Device manager-> now u see a window of Device manager
then go to Ports->Communication Port(double click on it and Open).
after open u can see a Communication Port properties.
go the Port Setting:----
and now increase ur "Bits per second" to 128000.
and "Flow control" change 2 Hardware.

apply and see the result

Increase your bandwidth by 20%

Windows uses 20% of your bandwidth! Get it back

A nice little tweak for XP. Microsoft reserve 20% of your available bandwidth for their own purposes (suspect for updates and interrogating your machine etc..)

Here's how to get it back:

Start-->Run-->type "gpedit.msc" without the "

This opens the group policy editor. Then go to:

Local Computer Policy-->Computer Configuration-->Administrative Templates-->Network-->QOS Packet Scheduler-->Limit Reservable Bandwidth

Double click on Limit Reservable bandwidth. It will say it is not configured, but the truth is under the 'Explain' tab :

"By default, the Packet Scheduler limits the system to 20 percent of the bandwidth of a connection, but you can use this setting to override the default."

So the trick is to ENABLE reservable bandwidth, then set it to ZERO. This will allow the system to reserve nothing, rather than the default 20%.
