I've noticed some problems with the number of simultaneous connections after installing Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2).
Apparently, as a security measure, Microsoft has limited the
number of simultaneous connections to 10 to reduce the spread of
viruses such as MSBlast.
As a side effect, this has slowed down many eMule users and I've noticed some issues with my Skype client.
Well, I found a patch for it! It patches the new TCPIP.SYS
file in the C:\Windows\system32\drivers directory. It does a
simple change to the hex value 10 in the file. I believe it
defaults to 50, but lets you choose how many you want. I'm going
to try it out now.
Go download it here:
p.s. If you have a Hex Editor, this link tells you the position of where to change the value.
UPDATE! 7/6/05
It would appear that the link above is dead since his webserver crashed. He has a mirror site setup. Just go here:
