Don't know if it was just me but this site didn't like my connection and locked up on me.

I ran this and allowed it to optimize my connection. I saw some increase in speed but I could no longer connect to the BattleField servers. Restoring the saved profile set everything back to normal with no fuss. Save a profile before playing with this app. Also, know what you are doing. Lot's of controls I am not sure about.

You have to manually open the ports that BF2 uses. They are some "odd" ones like port 1080, 1053 or some crazy stuff like that. Be sure to close them when you are done. Hackers love open ports.
