Things You'll Need:
- A torrent client e.g. uTorrent
- A internet connection
-
Step 1
First of all we need to do a speed test, so we can see approximately what download speeds you are getting.
You can do this here: http://www.speedtest.net/. -
Step 2
Please make a note of your download speed. Now we need to download a file which will allow us to change the maximum number TCP connection as on XP SP2 it's limited to 10. The file can be found here: http://torrentfreak.com/static/EvID4226Patch223d-en.zip
-
Step 3
Open this file with Win RAR and double click 'EvID4226Patch.exe'. This will open a DOS style window (A little black window) asking us if we want to change the limit to 10, type 'C' because we want to another number.
-
Step 4
Now we have to enter the number we want, any number between 75-100 is good. It now asks us if we are sure we want to do this, type 'Y'.
-
Step 5
Next it wants to know if it can rename the file until to the end of patching, seen as if we click no it aborts, type 'Y'.
-
Step 6
Now it will do a countdown at which around halfway through a little window will appear asking us to insert our Windows CD, DONT PANIC!.
Just click 'Cancel' and then 'Yes'. Now click any key to exit. -
Step 7
Restart your computer and open up your torrent client.
-
Step 8
Now we need to find the 'Settings' or 'Options' normally under 'Tools'.
-
Step 9
We now need to find the field where we can change the TCP / UDP port.
Inside here you should type a number such as 8095 but it can be any number between 1 and 47808 although some are better than others and some are blocked or reserved, that is new branch which should be looked up. -
Step 10
Now restart your computer and your all done
