Here are Registry Tweaks and Scroll down to see Patches
1.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 |

Yes :p
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: 1. Make sure you're logged in as "Administrator" (not just any account with admin privileges). 2. Navigate to START>Run and type: gpedit.msc 3. Navigate to Local Computer Policy > Administrative Templates > Network > QOS Packet Scheduler 4. In the right window, double-click the limit reservable bandwidth setting 5. On the setting tab, check the enabled setting. 6. Where it says "Bandwidth limit %", change it to read 0 (or whatever percentage you want to reserve for high priority QoS data) 7. 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. You need to reboot for changes to take effect. Note: This tweak applies only to The Professional version of Windows XP.

I realize this is an old post but does anyone know if Vista has the same issue and if there is a fix for it?

Based on the guide above I'm not sure if everyone understands how QoS works. Here is a little info about how QoS works:
Myth - "Disabling QoS will free up the 20% bandwidth reserved by QoS." Reality - "There have been claims in various published technical articles and newsgroup postings that Windows XP always reserves 20 percent of the available bandwidth for QoS. These claims are incorrect. As in Windows 2000, programs can take advantage of QoS through the QoS APIs in Windows XP. 100% of the network bandwidth is available to be shared by all programs unless a program specifically requests priority bandwidth. This "reserved" bandwidth is still available to other programs unless the requesting program is sending data. By default, programs can reserve up to an aggregate bandwidth of 20% of the underlying link speed on each interface on an end computer. If the program that reserved the bandwidth is not sending sufficient data to use it, the unused part of the reserved bandwidth is available for other data flows on the same host." Source "Correction of some incorrect claims about Windows XP QoS support There have been claims in various published technical articles and newsgroup postings that Windows XP always reserves 20 percent of the available bandwidth for QoS. These claims are incorrect. The information in the "Clarification about QoS in end computers that are Running Windows XP" section correctly describes the behavior of Windows XP systems." Source I'm not saying this tweak is good or bad, just adding some information so you understand what you are doing and how it will affect your system. |

Exactly, any advantage of this fix would not be noticed 100% of the time... only when programs try to use the reserved bandwidth which you have cut off
