Vista TCP/IP and UAC AutoPatch remedies this by allowing you to unlock this limit and sets the number of half-open TCP connections to 70,000. P2P programs are affected by this limitation and run at very slow speeds, no matter the type of Internet connection. While being a security feature, Windows XP SP2 / SP3 and Vista as well as Vista SP1 users don't welcome it. Windows XP Service Pack 2 limited the number of this type of connections to 10 in order to provide strict security protection against various forms of malware such as worms (programs that replicate themselves within a network and bring havoc to computers, forcibly taking over control of their resources). Half-Open TCP Connections Limits have been the topic of many discussions since they started to interfere with P2P applications' performance.
