    This is a small but very handy fix for latency issues when playing online. While not that interesting for our us members, all the europeans here might want to give it a try.
    It was originally conceived for WoW players experiencing laggy gameplay when connecting to servers overseas.
    It's not a proxy or tunneling service, but simply optimizes TCP acknowledgement exchange between client and game server. Suffice to say it cuts my latency on us servers (connecting from europe) from 300 to around 170ms.

    All the infos (including the mechanics) can be found on the official page, the utility is freeware and open source, does not contain any viruses or malware and works with any online game since it only tweaks general network settings.

    I thought this could be useful but i dont know if i it will be usefull for me since im almost always at 120ms on US servers.

    It sure will be usefull for anyone having trouble
