Works pretty good I can say. My uploads have gone sky high though, oh well.

Guys,

I tried the patches from different sites even the xp anti spy but no luck what actually happens after installing these patches is that after like 10 hrs I cant browse the net even though it stops logging the error 4226 any one out there with an idea that what can be done to this. Fedup with this issue.

ok my view on the 4226 patch.

As you may know the default max half open setting on utorrent is 8 so below the default 10 of allowed in xp pro.

However not only did I have very slow web browsing I also kept getting 4226 errors in my event viewer.

I then patched to 50 on the tcpip.sys and rebooted and web browsing was much faster, the 4226 errors also stopped.

I then decided to set utorrent to 24 max half open so triple default and although web browsing stayed fast I did get some more occasional 4226 in the event viewer.

So whats clear to me here is.

Utorrent uses more half open than the setting says.

It affects web browsing when done at the same time as using utorrent.

All the technical explanations as to why the patch is supposed to not be needed make sense when you read them and I did accept them, until I seen for myself in real world usage that the limit either needs patching or the utorrent setting perhaps set very low like to 1 or 2.

Hi guys. I just changed my ISP and I got a problem with it. The ISP cannot find the problem, so I thought you guys can help me. Here's my problem:

My ISP claims to be a 7 mb/s connection. I tested the speed on the internet and it's a 5.2 mb/s. When I download something directly in my browser, I can download at about 500 kb/s. When I download a .torrent with uTorrent or Vuze (formely Azureus), my max speed is 30 kb/s !! All the ports are open, I did the tests too. My firewall rules are alright. I really don't know what could be the problem ! I didn't have any problems with my older ISP. As soon as I connect the computer to my older ISP, it downloads really good.

I need your help, if you can !!

edit: My modem is a router at the same time. It's a 2wire model 2701HG-G.

Silly but simple question first... Have you got all your microfilters on ALL your phone ports that have a piece of hwardware connected to it?

Why is the first post of this thread a question and the guide the second post?

The data base has had a few hiccups in the last 5 years. It's old so don't worry.

Yeah, all my phone ports have a microfilter. What I've heard is that my ISP is throtling the connection sometimes because there's too much traffic.

This is normal with some ISPs. Do you have DSL or cable?

I have DSL. I've heard I can encrypyt my incoming and outgoing transferts so my ISP won't throttle my speed. Is that right ?
