Hack the maximum TCP connections limit in XP – Speed up Torrents!
May 20th, 2009
XP users, did you know that you are limited to a maximum of 10 TCP connections by Microsoft? This WILL hurt your [torrent] downloading speed since it wont let you connect to a high amount of IP address’. This limitation was meant to help you- help you by slowing down a computer virus’ ability to spread by connecting to a high number of IP numbers.
A nice way to fix this is to download this patch, it allows you to set the maximum allowed connections to any number you want. Any number between 50 and 100 is okay!
Here is the link to the patch again :CLICK HERE
If you look at the screen shot below, the patch will ask you if you want to change the limit of connections to 50. Just type in “Y” for “Yes” and follow it’s prompts. It’s fast, clean, and easy, just how I like it!
