Follow the following steps:
* Select Start > Run and enter gpedit.msc to Open the Group Ploicy Editor.
* In the left-hand column in the window, navigate to Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Network > QoS Packet Scheduler
* In the right column double-click on Limit reservable bandwidth and select Enabled.
* Change the Bandwidth Limit to 0 and click OK.
Now you've disabled the QoS and enjoy the extra bandwidth.
I had no idea Windows XP reserved 20% of the bandwidth for QoS until I read this. I followed the steps through gpedit.msc to Limit reservable bandwidth and set it to 0, and the path you laid out was easy to follow. One thing I am curious about is whether that freed-up portion makes a noticeable difference on a modern connection, or if it mostly mattered back when connections were slower. Thanks for explaining it so plainly.
