XP SP2 could slowdown P2P downloads

TCP restrictions in Microsoft’s latest Windows XP service pack—SP2—could slowdown P2P download activity according to a post on Tech-Recipes. It seems that by design SP2 limits the number of simultaneous incomplete outbound TCP connection attempts.

Once the rate is reached, subsequent connection attempts are placed in a queue eventually to be resolved at a fixed rate. Rumors are already around the internet that this slows down programs that open multiple TCP connections at once. Port scanners are a good example of this. Some P2P might be effect as well in theory.

Yes, we know... we know...

Get yourself the hacked TCPIP.SYS from the Sticky thread in the Windows XP forum.

so why the Pyrax fix is not a lone sys file??

its a setup.exe

A few posts up you mentioned you got the Pyrax fix, and you looked pretty happy then. What happend since then?

I must say, you ask a lot of questions with regard to this matter. Problem is, you ask them ALL over the friggin forum! You're making such a mess of this place!

sigh...

Anyway... what you got is a PATCHER! You must RUN that patcher where your TCPIP.SYS is, and it will patch it for you. You can also get the pre-patched file from this forum.

Notice the word "easy", your average non computer knowledgeable person would know what a system files is, so i found the installer that does it for you, and release it.

Oh and you can uninstall this version

I think this is not a big prob for me! I'd use bitcomet rather than kizza.
