//OH MY GOD I HATE THIS WHEN WILL I FIND WHAT IS RIGHT AND DOESN'T MAKE IT WORSE


//note from 10/16:  hopefully these aren't causing the crashing problem.  if someone else who
                    uses this can actually use the good connection settings or has other settings
                    that work better, try to use them.  I get jitter and weird lag-ish stuff when
                    I try to use good connection settings so I've found that these are the least
                    terrible out of trial and error.
