I'm glad you got good results, and I don't blame you for being a little skeptical about an app that has all its instructions written in a language you don't read. But, as you foun…

Nah, my connection still sucks. Initially I thought the tweaks helped, but it was short-lived at best. Speed tests all have me downloading at over 3Mbps, a good clip (about what's …
