Nope.

For some reason download speed in killerbytes per second on the net is slightly above number of killerbits divided by 10. I'm not sure why, I think it has to do with bits to confirm messeges and stuff.

Killerbits? Killerbytes? It's a fucking war zone out there!

XP is old and is made for old hardware, thus unlike Win7 it cannot fully utilize the new hardware that exist today.

A torrent opens a lot of connections, so this could be the issue. I suspect that it is. As Kadomony suggested, change the half open connections. Are you using uTorrent?

Cheers, I'll give this a try when I get home later. I am indeed using uTorrent.

Originally posted by pkcRAISTLIN i would've guessed neither. OS's/PCs have negligible effect on how fast your downloads can go. its all about ISPs, line quality & seeders (if we're talking about torrents).

I would overall say the same thing, but with Win7, they totally overhauled the TCP stack. They did a bit of tweaking on it in Vista, but with Win7 they totally redid it. It manages network traffic much, much better.

That is what I use too, and I regularly can get 2MB/s. I rarely do because there are rarely enough fast seeds to do it, but it happens once in a while. 1.2MB/s is pretty common though.

So no change dude?

Is there anyway to change the half open connections without the use of a patch?

If nothing has worked at this point, I would go over to the uTorrent forums and ask there.

LOL @ killerbytes

Well I haven't tried changing half open connections yet. I just wondered if it was a setting you could manually amend without the use of a patch.

Not that I am aware of. The patch is the only thing I have ever seen.

Originally posted by DJ Mikey Mike Why not?

I had the same issue a few years back (except with an already faster onnection but limitation of speed). I can't quite remember the name, but there is an unofficial tweak you can get for XP that changes some of the files that deal with the way in which XP handles TCP/IP connections... limiting the number of incoming connections.

When you run the patch, XP warns you that you're altering system files etc etc, but make the change anyway.
