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?

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.

    • Browser vendors pen open letter to Microsoft saying "enough is enough"

      By s0nic69 · Posted

      I don't understand the vision. Do people really want to buy a new computer from Dell with 6 browsers installed? We all keep asking for Microsoft to stop having so much junk on their OS, and adding a bunch of browsers seems to go against that. Ideally, we would just be asked what browser we want during OOBE but Google is just going to pay Dell a bunch of money to include Chrome. Additionally, would you want your phones to start including all the browsers too when you get them? The only thing I ever wanted was to be able to uninstall IE or edge and I believe you are now able to. I do agree that microsoft needs to chill with their "are you sure you don't want to try edge before you install chrome" ads when going to download chrome.

      The funny thing here is that like 70% or so of the web browser users use 'Google Chrome' as web browser. What I don't understand is that why on earth would ANYONE choose 'Google Chrome' on Windows when 'Microsoft Edge' is not just better in most things, but it's already there right out of the box for the Windows users. Microsoft Edge has less data collection (yes, that's a fact), less RAM usage and is more optimized for Windows (as it's a Microsoft product) right out of the box. I'm sure you will come with the argument of bloat in Microsoft Edge. Sure, but most of that can be fixed with a simple tool (there are many good ones out there for this). Yes, that require a couple of clicks in the same way as it requires several clicks to install 'Google Chrome'. And I'm sure you really love the 4 GB of AI-slop 'Google Chrome' is downloading without you agreeing to it. Fun right? Sure, the way Microsoft is pushing Microsoft Edge on users might not be the best way of doing it and might need to change. But I would never choose 'Google Chrome' over 'Microsoft Edge' today anyways. I'm sure there was a period back in the days when 'Google Chrome' actually was better in most things, but that period is not today.
    • JetBrains rolls out IntelliJ IDEA update with Markdown preview fixes and more

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      JetBrains rolls out IntelliJ IDEA update with Markdown preview fixes and more by David Uzondu Image via JetBrains IntelliJ 2026.1.3 from JetBrains has landed, bringing several highly requested bug fixes that target common UI glitches and terminal rendering issues. If you run tmux inside the integrated terminal, the IDE no longer renders the cursor above the active line. The Markdown preview bug, which was fixed in this release, had annoyed developers for quite some time, as the preview pane failed to render images saved outside the project directory. Instead of displaying the actual image, the IDE simply showed a broken image icon, a problem that stuck around for two years before this update. Over on Windows, developers running WSL can now use wsl.exe to spin up their environments without losing terminal functionality. In previous builds, launching a terminal shell with something like wsl.exe -d ubuntu inside a Windows-based project broke both shell integration and active process detection. Other bug fixes in this release include: An issue where Gradle sync incorrectly reported success as a failure on WSL when using Gradle 9.5.0. A syntax highlighting bug that flagged valid Java for-loop initialization blocks with multiple statements as incorrect. A warning bug that triggered a false non-null local variable alert when using JSpecify annotations. A database generation bug that hid the option to use a DELETE statement instead of a TRUNCATE checkbox. A Kotlin highlighting failure where an assertion error in the Gradle redundant library inspection broke error highlighting. A UI bug where the ComboBox popup lacked a maximum height restriction. A Snowflake syntax error where DataGrip failed to support the "create temp" command. A Svelte syntax parsing failure that incorrectly flagged quotes inside inline expressions. A VCS repository manager deadlock that triggered thread pool exhaustion. A memory leak where the LazyTree component kept all previous versions of a tree in memory. IntelliJ 2026.1.3 is the third bug fix release for the IntelliJ 2026.1 series. The first one landed back in April with a fix for the WSL Python interpreter freeze, another fix for guest participants using Emmet abbreviations, and corrected WildFly server deployment errors.
