magoo68 Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 Somehow, the security Windows update KB951748 crashed the uTorrent program (and I don't have ZoneAlarm). My connection is 1Mb/128 and is set 64/10, port forwarded, and patched system. Well, after the update, the maximun speed for well seed torrents was 10 Kb/s, and trackers went offline soon after the torrents started running.Having almost go mad trying to solve this, did the following:- Removed the update.- Reboot.- Cleared the DNS cache and ipconfig.- Reapplied the Event ID 4226 patch.- Reboot.- Removed settings.dat and settings.dat.old.- Deleted the settings for uTorrent in Windows firewall and configure them again.- Reconfigured uTorrent.- Rebooted the modem.And everything is back in order again. How could this update cause such mess is beyond my knowledge. Inputs anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 Did you ever raise net.max_halfopen beyond 8? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magoo68 Posted August 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 Yes, it was set in 30 before the update. With this value since 2006. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 About every month, MS updates tcpip.sys, which resets the half-open limit.Easier to just keep utorrent at 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 Or less, even (4 has been working swimmingly here). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chryss Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 Yep, since switching max half open to 4, I've never had an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
