Freeware: Internet Connection Speed

	XP TCP/IP Repair  License: Freeware
	Is Spyware and/or Adware messing up your internet connection after you have uninstalled it? Has your internet connection slowed down and you just don't know why? Have you used an Internet Optimizer that just didn't optimize your internet, instead it made it slower? If you answered yes to any of the questions above, then XP TCP/IP Repair may help fix your internet connection and possibly even protect your privacy. XP TCP/IP Repair is a Graphical User Interface (GUI) for commands in Windows XP® that repair your TCP/IP registry settings and your Winsock LSP's. Instead of having trying to remember long confusing command line commands you can now just click a button. What is an LSP? Layered Service Providers (LSP) are small pieces of software that can be added or inserted into the Windows TCP/IP handler by other software. Data outward bound from your computer to a legitimate destination on the Internet can be intercepted by an LSP and sent somewhere other than where you intend it to go.

	PostCast Server  License: Freeware
	PostCast Server is a free SMTP server program for Windows that enables you to send messages directly from your computer. This program is used for sending newsletters, distributing messages to different mailing lists, sending notifications to your customers, as well as for sending individual messages. You can use it instead of the SMTP server of your Internet Service Provider (ISP). PostCast Server supports all e-mail programs. The program you already use for sending and receiving messages can be connected to the server in a very easy way - by altering just one parameter. Having done so, you can send messages in a usual manner. Once the program has been set, it performs all its tasks in the background. You can set the program to send messages on a daily basis, every hour, immediately after downloading them, or in some other time interval. If necessary, the program will automatically call your ISP and terminate the connection after completing its task. You can connect to it via LAN, Internet or directly from the computer where it has been installed. The program can be configured to send messages for all users within LAN. If necessary, it is possible to limit access to the program using several security options. It has been optimized for very fast message delivery and gets the most out of your Internet connection. While sending messages, the program establishes dozens of connections at the same time. Thus, it reaches maximum speeds and on average delivers about 3,500 messages per hour with an ordinary modem Internet connection and some 13,000 with an ISDN connection. The sending speed increases with the capacity of your Internet connection. Author: Nenad Oric| Date: 28-10-2003 | Size: 14286 KB

	iPIG WiFi Hotspot VPN Security  License: Freeware
	Using powerful 256-bit AES encryption technology, the iOpus Private Internet Gateway (iPIG) creates a secure VPN "tunnel" that protects your inbound and outbound communications (Email, Web, IM, VOIP, calls, FTP, etc.) at any Wi-Fi hotspot or wired network. iPIG shields your data from even the most sophisticated methods of online spying and snooping like the "Evil twin attacks". In addition, your sensitive information is not only protected between your computer and the wireless access point you're using, but all the way to iOpus' secure connection servers deep in the Internet. This ensures that your data can't be easily hijacked through the air and at the point it transitions to a "wired" Ethernet connection. Unlike other technologies, iPig works with any kind of Internet connection (Wifi, WLAN, wired ethernet) and requires NO configuration of any kind. You just start your favorite web browser, email client or chat software and switch the iPig encryption on: iPig grabs all Internet traffic before it leaves your PC and encrypts it securely! iPig also works with all major firewall software like Zonealarm or Norton Internet Security. The software runs on Windows 2000, XP and 2003 (Sorry, Windows 98, ME are not supported). Author: iMacros WebSite Testing and Web Scraping| Date: 18-08-2007 | Size: 733 KB

	IE Timeout Tuner  License: Freeware
	This tool can adjust 3 "hidden" registry settings of Internet Explorer to control caching of DNS records, server connection timeout, and caching of server information. It can be useful to change these settings to very low values, especially when testing web-servers with quickly changing DNS records / IP addresses. For example in DNS Round Robin or Simple Failover setups. Internet Explorer does not honor and does not use the TTL (time to live) value provided in DNS records. Instead it caches all DNS records for a fixed period of time (as per this setting) - with one exception: After Internet Explorer has fetched a web-page, it does not immediately close the TCP connection to the web-server. By keeping the connection open, following requests to the same web-server can be executed faster. This is known as "keep alive". This setting affects both DNS caching and server connections ("keep alive") timeouts. Internet Explorer does not refresh DNS records if another page is requested from the same server domain name within this time interval - even if the DNS Cache Timeout setting has a lower value. In other words, DNS records timeout according to the higher value of this and the DNS Cache Timeout setting. However, server connections appear to timeout according to the lower value of this and the Keep Alive Timeout setting. So for the most predictable results, the value of this setting should be set lower than or equal to the DNS Cache Timeout setting, and higher than or equal to the Keep Alive Timeout setting.
