Hey, I think I remember reading about some issue with the TCP connection limits placed upon non-server editions of Windows OS in TCPIP.SYS. Is there still an issue with running a Tor node on a non-server Windows due in part to the TCP connect limit?
Here is a great little TCPIP.SYS patcher which allows you to change the connect limit to whatever you want. By default Windows TCP connection limit is set to 10. I set mine to 100, is that a good number? Here is the patcher and info, VERY easy to use: http://www.lvllord.de/?lang=en&url=tools And here is a good thread (from forum.my-proxy.com ) about using the TCPIP.SYS patcher and some issue with using it on Vista to be aware of: http://forum.my-proxy.com/proxy-questions/windows-xp-vista-connection-limit-patch-t2707.0.html I really noticed a speed increase with fewer timed out proxies when using a proxy leecher. I use FPL (Forum Proxy Leecher) when I want to leech open proxies. -- grego...@fastmail.fm -- http://www.fastmail.fm - Access all of your messages and folders wherever you are
