Microsoft is not well known when it comes to free software for pubic domain. but for for bloggers there is some good news. Windows Live Writer 2009 is here for download and still it is free.

Although focused at Windows Live Spaces, Windows Live Writer 2009 is one of the best tools available for general purpose bloggers. Its earlier version is part of the daily life of many professional blog writers.

I myself love it. I admire the new 2009 version even more. As a matter of fact I am an open-source proponent but the convenience of using WLR 2009 is so great that I too had to accommodate it as my primary post creation tool. I was introduced to WLR 2008  by Paul (A fellow Author on this Blog) Now we are both convinced that it  is a great productivity tool with a excellent interface and superb features.

Most of Internet connections are working below capacity. A simple bandwidth test would reveal that your own Internet connection is working well below its capacity. some times below 60% of the bandwidth is utilized. Below are some of the tricks I have collected that may help you get most juice out of your internet connection.

Increase bandwidth by tweaking QoS in Windows XP Pro

The following tweak applies only to Windows XP Professional edition. The default system behavior is that all 100% bandwidth is available, however, if there is a running application that indicates to the OS it needs to send high priority/real time data, then as long as it has the socket open, Windows XP will restrict “best effort” traffic to 80% of the bandwidth so that high priority traffic can be accommodated. Basically, applications can make this request to the operating system for QoS support using the QoS application programming interfaces (APIs) in Windows and this only applies if a specific app is requesting QoS.

If you’d like to change how much bandwidth is reserved for QoS (the default is 20% of the total bandwidth), do the following:

• Make sure you’re logged in as “Administrator” (not just any account with admin privileges).
• Navigate to START>Run and type: gpedit.msc
• Navigate to Local Computer Policy > Administrative Templates > Network > QOS Packet Scheduler
• In the right window, double-click the limit reservable bandwidth setting
• On the setting tab, check the enabled setting.
• Where it says “Bandwidth limit %”, change it to read 0 (or whatever percentage you want to reserve for high priority QoS data)
• Click OK, close gpedit.msc
• Under START > My Computer > My Network Connections > View Network Connections, right-click on your connection and under Properties (where it lists your protocols), make sure QOS Packet Scheduler is enabled.
