I read somewhere there is a limit in windows 98 that limits the number of tcp/ip connections to 100. is that true? and if so is there a way around it?

i searched msfn for a topic on it and couldnt find one...

• MaxConnections = 32-bit number

Data Type: String

Specifies the maximum number of concurrent connections. The default is 100.

Thank you~

This helped my uTorrent downloads alot.

Anime! weeeee lol

Janus zeal, could you say how much it improved your download speed (it interests me in view of emule configuration)?

What was the value you used (I've a cable connection and I don't know what a value would be safe)?

I was getting about 50 kbps down, now im getting about 300-900 kbps down.

i first tryed 65535 and got bsods, so i went down to 5000 and it works great.

i have a ~15 mbps roadrunner cable line, and a linux router.

I'm afraid there's a misunderstanding: what I wanted to know was a value in registry not in utorrent.

the 65535/5000 values are the values i used in the registery

HKLM\system\currentcontrolset\services\vxd\mstcp\

This is quite interesting beacause I've read that maximum value is 512 (for Win98).

Hmm... im guessing that windows just used 512 even though its set to 5000. 65535 was probably to much for it though. im going to change it to 512 just incase something goes wrong.
