vinyborges Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 Hi everyone... Brazil here!!I install my windows XP sp3 yesterday and i have been problems to configure tcpip.sys. First i need to know, what is the recomended value of half open connections?? I change the default value of windows to 100, using the tcpip-patcher-hwrms, and change the dafault value of utorrent 1.8.2 to 100 too. But i already read that for sp3 the recomended is 256.Please give to me the recomended value of half open connections to my Windows ( XP sp3) and to uTorrent (1.8.2), ok??Thank you for your time and help!!

Ultima Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 The recommended value is "leave it alone." Set net.max_halfopen to 4 or 2 if you're having connection problems due to half-open connections.http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?pid=368139#p368139 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jewelisheaven Posted May 2, 2009 Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 If you're not getting problems you can reset it back to the default value, but if it works fine @ 4 you're just being extra nice to your hardware. Thank you for coming here and asking for help. Here's to your torrenting bliss <cheer> x 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted May 2, 2009 Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 uTorrent's half open limit (net.max_halfopen in advanced settings) should NOT be set as high as window's limit...or there WILL be problems. In any case, setting uTorrent's half open limit will gain little going beyond 20...except to continually retry failed ips faster. In short, waste bandwidth and actually SLOW DOWN your downloads and uploads! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
