war Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 BTW Cable Nut is the best way to tweak your OS for faster browsing. It can speed up your browsing by 40% if your still using default winxp settings and have a fast connection. Fast being at least 5mbps, since less than that default config will work just as well.

H4v0K Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 This patch will *NOT* affect browsing speed; u might see a difference in P2P connections though. And BTW, Micro$oft put a cap on the no. of outgoing connections for a specific reason, and that was to limit the damage that might be caused if a computer running XP was turned into a zombie machine by a worm. That way, the infected machine would not be able to spread the worm too quickly. So, it's better to leave things as they are.

Toology Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 Get it straight from LvlLord here. It does have an impact on p2p. I've been using it for 2+ years now because it also has an impact on streaming video, for me at least.

The_Decryptor Veteran Posted May 28, 2007 Veteran Share Posted May 28, 2007 It's all in your mind then. The 10 half-open sockets per second limit won't effect download speeds (it doesn't limit open connections), and even then it's only a second long throttle, if you're trying to open more than 10 connections a second to hosts that don't respond (hosts that do don't count), you're doing something wrong.
