find your fastest DNS, and reduce your lag EVEN MORE

[john2kx]

Download this and run it:

It runs a series of tests (takes about 3-4 minutes) to find the DNS server with the fastest response time. (check out my results below)

You're welcome!

very cool! I picked up the linux version and its just a python script so it's really easy to use. The one it picked was 41% faster. The few matches I had today seemed to be better then normal but I still hit a few super lag fests. I'll keep running it and seeing if it keeps picking similar servers

so what do u do after it finds the fastest one?? change it manually to that DNS ? or will this apply it automaticly?

I set mine manually

yeah this doesn't change anything automatically for you.. You have to take the info it gives you and change it yourself.
