TCP/IP Half Open Connection
Since there is much discussion about this topic, I felt it important to post some very basic information about this, and most of all, explain why you DONT need to patch your tcpip.sys file to use torrents.
Beginning with Windows XP sp2, all windows versions have had built into their tcpip.sys file a limiter that restricts a large number of tcp connections being opened at the same moment. This is actually a good thing, and won't create a problem for you using BitComet.
BitComet does include a patch users can install, but unless you are an expert computer user, and have a specific reason for wanting to do this, then it is a very bad idea that you do so. I've discussed this with BitComet development team, and they are considering if they should keep this patch as part of bitcomet software, and have given me their permission, and their blessing to post......
