BlackLine Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 This is a solution for all OS (from XP SP2 to Vista SP1)!Microsoft did send an update via Windows Update (9.1.2008), that does limit your ports to the internet.Since BitTorrent apps consume a lot of these ports you can browse on the internet normally!You need a patch : Download1. Unpack the archive on desktop.2. Run Half-open_limit_fix_2.9.exe.3. Select number of open ports (range is from 1-255)4. Click "Add to tcpip.sys".5. Restart computer.And Voila! Now you can download torrents and browse the internet.Maybe you will experience a bit faster loading when not downloading, which makes this patch excellent!Cheers,BlackLine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsychoticxBloodxLust Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 not so sure this is true, i have no issues downloading what so ever at home on my dsl utorrent and limewire both are not bothered by my firewall anymore and i don't forward my ports either which is wierd but again both uthe new limewire and utorrent are using new embeded redirects i guess but anyway, can anyone verify the worth of this?Maybe it is true but i could downlaod a dvd in about 15-20mins via torrent on my dsl connection which i have verzion 2gig which is the best they offer in my area still waiting for fios Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackLine Posted October 28, 2008 Author Share Posted October 28, 2008 @ PsychoticxBloodxLust: Did you disable automatic updates, maybe? Download this program and check how many ports are opened on your PC.I know some people who dont have any problems with that. But I know much more people with this problem!Check here: Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Event Viewer -> System ... if you see warnings with ID 4226, you have this problem!@Bizarre: The old one is working just for Windows XP SP2. This patcher works for all Microsoft OS.From official site:Operating system: Windows XP SP2(x86,x64)/SP3, Server 2003 SP1(x86)/SP2(x86,x64), Server 2008(x86,x64), Vista without SP(x86,x64) and with SP1(x86,x64).

BlackLine Posted October 28, 2008 Author Share Posted October 28, 2008 Ops...But the patcher I posted works for all OS. And the most important thing that does is that Signs the new tcpip.sys. Vista (x64) and SP1 (x86 and x64) must have all drivers signed.If tcpip.sys isnt signed you must press F8 and disable "Signed Driver Checking" at EVERY boot!

BlackLine Posted October 28, 2008 Author Share Posted October 28, 2008 I know! But I wanted to tell about Vista and signing.So if you are using XP (all versions) you can use this or the other one.If you are on Vista this one is the best (you cant use the other one since its only for XP).In my opinion this is the best all-in-one patch for ALL systems.

Bizarre™ Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 i have 10 open cahnged it 2 255 what does it really change i notice utorrent default is 8It changes the number of concurrent connections your PC can handle.The reason why M$ lowered the value is to limit the spread of viruses or so they say.

BlackLine Posted October 29, 2008 Author Share Posted October 29, 2008 If you have Utorrent connections set at 8 and Windows ports opened at 10, you still have 2 ports for internet.I did unlock all ports (255) and set my connections in uTorrent @ 200. I still have 55 ports for internet and my torrent works like a charm. Way more faster connecting to tracker and so on... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sumant30 Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 Well you're right that internet dies when i open it when i am downloading through u torrent but does it have any connection with bandwidth?If yes then probably it might effect guys with low end connections like mine i have only 128kbps connection.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsychoticxBloodxLust Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 the main thing is is to make sure you have atleast 2 more open ports then what utorrent is using thats whay utorrent default is 8 and your system is set to allow 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
