WinXP SP2 cripples p2p

[release]

SP2 Reduces the number of concurrent TCP/IP connections allowed per program/port to 10. This can cause the donkey (and other p2p) to "choke".

See here for a potential fix (unverified) :

little weasles..

The supposed reason for the connection limit is to reduce the risk of orchestrated attacks and to reduce the spreading of worms like Sasser.

I think I can buy into it

[release]

While I can understand the reasoning, it should be a setting that power-users can modify without having to hack system files (as is currently the case).

I have never used BT, how does it compare to the bots easily found in IRC ?(the source for almost everything I get )

[adidas]

I love Bit Torrent. I get tons of albums, games etc. I manage to get 100kBps with a fair amount of consistency, and occasionally max out at 300+

If you ask me, IRC doesn't compare

[were]

how in blazes can u get 100kps?..azerus is very good but not good for people who have small harddrives..((grinning))

[adidas]

I don't know, I get 100 kBps all the time and like I said, sometimes over 300. Just make sure your firewall is set up right. If you torrent has enough seeders you should get some pretty good speeds.

[were]

in other words,ur firewall should be OFF..my guess is depends on the pvp computer ur download in from and the no of downloads ur tryin to get

i can understand ur gettin 100kps TOTAL files altogether but not 1 file.

[adidas]

^ 1 file

And no, don't turn your firewall off. Just open up the ports you need for BT. I have Azureus set to use 22702, so I have port 22702 open on my router.

[were]

omg,that is amazing speeds..amazing

i went to configuring and the only ip port option i seen is server-->6881,,,so get rid of that and out that numerical value u said b4?

did u change anythign else like uploads and cpu-usage?

[were]

wow..what a diference from 8kps to 70!!!..pure amazing

let me no i fu want anything on ur ftp site!(not that i go to ur ftp anyway)

[mr rom]

Attempting the same thing, but on the BitTorrent client "ABC"... I set the port range to 6881-6882, hopefully that will work; once I get another torrent downloaded I'm going to try your BitTorrent client, Adidas. Hopefully it's better than ABC; ABC is lacking in the feature area. basically it's "get torrent and download it"

[adidas]

let me no i fu want anything on ur ftp site!(not that i go to ur ftp anyway)

I'll take the full NES set if you have it


ftp://upload:upload@ey.anarchyx.org:22701

[were]

file(s) is about 900meg..just set it a good upload setting and ill have it ready sometime tonite or early tommorow to upload

im still havin trouble with disconnects with my provider so if the fiel stops suddenly,that sprob why

edit:not many uploads..if u have any illegal stuff..dont worry i wont tell..trust me..im a canuck

[adidas]

haha

My uploads don't stay there, unless I'm lazy. It's an upload account I give to everyone to use. Once things are uploaded, I move them to the folders they belong in. (usually that folder is empty)

[were]

ugh i got disconnected again..ill ge it by tommorw(by then i should have 4 gigs free)

[were]

uploadin but soem errors?..using flashxp 3.0..seems ok i guess

if ur gettin nintendo64..i think theres a couple of DVD's in size..let i check its aboiut 4-5 of them((WTF????)

[adidas]

Thanks, I saw you had started

I don't see any errors or N64? Just NES will do for now anyway

[adidas]

actually, I do see the errors, it keeps having to log back in. Maybe I should just find a torrent or something?

[were]

odd..in any case, i got the file rom ivwshanes' ftp...u prob have better luck..but i believe it needs to be updated sorely..

the n64 files is at supernova..much too big at the moment fo rem to download yet

[adidas]

Thanks for trying.. I'll have a look around and I'm sure I'll come up with them

[ivwshane]

My nes roms are already out of date?



Damn this is getting annoying:|
