Amazingly it did increase mine too, it's an actual fact. I got just +4MB Dl and +0.02 Upload speed.

Damn, I didn't have it installed.. I guess that means I have to blame my crappy Internet on something else. D:
damn, my internet still sucks ass. clearwire </3
I always put this program on during a download thinking it'd help because it says it would help... Guess not. My upload speed went up by 20 kbps though :)
Wow no wonder, fml, my dad got pissed and took off my wireless cable. My limt of Download and upload is 60BG, and in 2-3 days I get 1-5 GB download and 1-3 GB upload. I really didnt know why it was going that high, my dad though it was because of going on UTube, and playing combat arms. Lol I got in so much shit, and the funny part is that I installed MS and CA and my other 3 laptops.
No Pando SUCKS for me. I usually get like 800kb/s even sometimes pushing over a mb download rates, and with pando I only get around 300kb/s. Downloading Lotro high def from a direct download took 3 hours, where pando took me 9.
WTF. I never knew this. All my comps have it! *runs to uninstall*
After I uninstalled this, my often internet disconnections stopped (was last year).
ouch that sucks shouldn't happen cant people complain to them?
Went from 63mb/s to 78mb/s download.
Upload didn't change though.
Now I know why a lot of mmorpg's use pando.

I ended up going over my Bandwidth limits this month too and it cost me quite a bit of extra $$$. I did some more research on Pando Media Booster and found this site. The guy seems to pretty much sum it up.
"Is Pando Media Booster Bad? Pando.exe isn’t inherently bad and is a valid way for a company offering free or discounted software or media to save some money in operating costs."
What is Pando Media Booster (Pando.exe)
So GREAT! Instead of them paying for Bandwidth, I'm paying for it. :grr:
thanks for the heads up ^^
