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 file tcpip.sys.


Instruction:
1) Run Half-open limit fix
2) Choose a new limit of concurrent half-open outbound connections quantity and press "Add to tcpip.sys" (for the overwhelming majority of Internet users, changing the limit to 100 will be more than sufficient.)
3) Restart computer and enjoy

Restart of the program can be demanded after updating Windows or SP installation as sometimes Microsoft replaces old file tcpip.sys on new. If the program will cease to work with updated tcpip.sys there will be a new version on this site.

For Vista and Windows 7 users: Maybe sometime, after updating Windows or SP installation on a desktop will appear watermarks "Test mode". They can appear because in all versions of Vista and Windows 7, except Vista without SP(x86), there is the obligatory drivers signature check, and the tcpip.sys file sign with test signature after patching. Most likely, to make it disappear will be necessary simply once again to patch tcpip.sys.

Operating system: Windows XP SP1(x64)/SP2(x86,x64)/SP3, Vista without SP(x86,x64) and with SP1(x86,x64), 7 beta(x86,x64).
Interface language: English, Chinese (Simplified), Czech, French, German, Greek, Italian, Korean, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Spanish, Turkish and Ukrainian.
