Right with a help of a friend i've managed to get this up and running. Basically i'm at my parents house to look after the fishes for 2 weeks. While i'm here to can make myself at home and etc.

In my own rented room i have the internet at a healthy 10mb Virgin cable internet. I've logged onto the laptop (in my room) and just tried something like speedtest.net and its like capped at 2321kb/s which is aweful at these time.

My question is: When running mstsc isn't that suppose to be like sitting in front on the laptop? Should i be getting full speed internet like i would do?
I was hoping to set some downloads off rather than using this crappy line here (where i'm typing from).

Sorry, I don't really understand what you mean :/

I gather you are using remote desktop, but all that does is allow you to view the logged in session of whichever machine you are connected to, this cannot overcome the physical inabilities of whichever line you are connected by.

What are you trying to do, why are you trying to do it?

Sorry let me explain it.

I'm currently at at my parents house. I have my own place with its own internet connection.

I wanna set some downloading going but i can't do it here because the internet is at a slow speed. So i've managed to set up mtsc to remote to my other place so i can use that internet speeds and get some good transfer going while im still here.

Question: When remoted onto mstc - is it supposed to give me full internet speeds?

Assuming you mean download from the internet to your PC at home, rather than download from the internet, then transfer across the MSTSC pipe to your parents, then yes, you should get near to the performance you would get if you were sat at home.

The best way to achieve this is to set the download going, then close (but not log off from) remote desktop. This way, you aren't sending screen update packets to and from the remote desktop client.

Yeah thats what i thought when i was typing this. As i'm logged on its uploading through to me and its capping pipe across.

Just hope as long as i'm not logged in and can schedule the downloads then i should be fine
