Im Already running IIS on my PC and all i want to do is increase the speed through the ini file, like on the internet servers.

That is the entire purpose of a redirect server. When a client connects to the server and requests a file, rather than sending it through it's own (slow, unreliable) protocol over UDP, it tells the client to access a standard web page instead. Because HTTP is fine for data transfer, it goes a
lot faster. The only difference the client sees is that the required files download a lot more quickly.
