Posted on  by admin

Home Half-open limit fix is a program designed to change the maximum number of concurrent half-open outbound TCP connections (connection attempts) in the Windows system tcpip.sys file. Microsoft first introduced this limit in Windows XP SP2 and it is present in later versions, which purpose is to try to slow the spread of virus and malware from system to system, and also to reduce the impact of infected systems participating in DoS (Denial of Service) attacks.

Thus, the speed of connection to other PCs is limited.Therefore, the speed of connection to other computers is actually limited. This happens regardless of whether you're using DSL, ethernet or a cable broadband internet service provider. P2P (peer-to-peer) software like µTorrent, BitComet, eMule, P2P TV, etc., are generally the programs mostly affected.

Since bittorrent apps tend to use up all 10 of the half-open connections, other Internet activity—especially the loading of web pages—can become extremely slow. The delay before opening a new page can take over ten seconds: this delay occurs regardless of your Internet connection speed.
