I am using windows 7 x64 professional and was wondering if I disable QoS, will I get a wee bit more bandwidth? Is disabling worth it?

Does disabling QoS result in more bandwidth?

QoS is to bandwidth as process priority is to process performance. They're related, but not directly -- they're affected by external factors. If QoS does limit your bandwidth, consider fixing the cause, not QoS.

QoS service is set to manual by default and will run only when an application (generally an audio/video streaming app) needs it. So no, you won't get any more bandwidth in most cases. Check your up/down speed, it should already be at its max. If you think your bandwidth is not enough check your ISP's web site and see if you can afford more.
