Matching your Routers/PC's MTU to the MTU of the ADSL circuit will improve performance as it will reduce fragmented packets....

 

Let's be honest, though, in 99% of cases, the biggest bottleneck is likely to be the server you're pulling the stuff down from....

 

As you know Marko.....every little helps
