The start of your reply was pretty condescending. Obviously I looked at other threads but these are literally not helpful in any way. The 3-4 threads I found all assume the person asking has a $5,000 PC and a godly 1000Mbps symmetrical connection, you can't dispute that. I'm no expert when it comes to hard drives and stuff like this but I'm pretty sure that a normal person with an average internet connection should not be using those settings at all and they should be tweaked which is all I wanted help with. Also I'm super confused because if it's been asked every week like you state, why is there not a sticky with a tutorial explaining everything about it? I think that would have saved lots of people time but maybe I'm wrong, so my humble apologies.
But yeah in my analysis, you seem like one of those people who has such a horrible real life, you have to make up for it online by making it out like you are some amazing high tier person who can "instruct" others but also give out sly digs at others but mask it with "pertinent" info to make yourself feel better and superior. Not being rude at all with that comment btw.
But yeah thanks for your input, I'll go ask somewhere else.
I'll also never be reading this thread again so don't bother replying. It's just simply too exhausting to help and read what other human beings have said.
