OS: CentOS 5.0 x86.

Hi, I am using CentOS 5.0 at home, ADSL ~16 Mbps/~1 Mbps Internet connection and my ping time to my ISP is 160-170 msec.

When downloading something with Firefox, I am getting download speeds of about 100-180 KB/sec (for example when downloading SP2 of XP from MS server).

Are the CentOS networking settings OK for this kind of latency, or do I have to change some settings?

I am using this on my CentOS 4 machine. I would expect it to work on a CentOS 5 machine as well.

Add the following to /etc/sysctl.conf

net.core.rmem_default = 67108864
net.core.wmem_default = 67108864
net.core.rmem_max = 67108864
net.core.wmem_max = 67108864
net.ipv4.tcp_mem = 4096 67108864 67108864
net.ipv4.tcp_rmem = 4096 67108864 67108864
net.ipv4.tcp_wmem = 4096 67108864 67108864

Run sysctl -p
