I have got my 6.2 series 2 machined superpatched with TWP and using TyTool to extract... I am getting crappy extraction rates (0.44Mb/sec).
It is my understanding that using the backported drivers will bump up the speed: how do i know which ones from the package to use??

MFS Soapbox Derby: aka what is your download speed?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, with the help of several people here on DD, in particular Jamie, I have been able to increase my MFS download speeds from 1400 to now over 3300+KB/sec. My best so far is 3349. The key to getting this has been:
2.4.27 backport drivers (here)
Unified MFS software (here )
usbcore.o loading tweak: (insmod /lib/modules/usbcore.o log2_irq_thresh=4)
Installed vwait patch for 4.01b systems (either the tcl patches or the Tivoapp patch located here)
HDVR2, running 2.4.18 stock kernel and 4.0.1b-02 software. FA-120 USB adapter.
I allowed my Tivo to settle down after reboot, which is key to getting correct download speed test. (used TOP to wait until no process was taking more than about 8%, which often takes an hour after reboot). I also tuned both tuners to 'blank' channels so that there would be no buffer recording activity (yes, that is not completely real world, but provides a good way to compare apples to apples).

when i unpack the drivers there are folders nonusb, obj, and test with folders in each.
I GUESS MY REAL QUESTION IS HOW DO I FIND OUT THE KERNAL ON MY MACHINE??
i appreciate any help given.
thanks!!!
