Worried about Speed on uTorrent?

I swear by uTorrent, imho, the BEST bittorent client/manager out there! Lightweight , compact, sexy and delivers! I did have some connection issues in recent weeks. Been trying to figure out the problem, until I found this EXCELLENT post on their forums by "Icedog". If you're having similar problems or don't know what I'm talking about... Go to Control Panel>Administrative Tools>Event Viewer and check under SYSTEM. Sort by "Event" and look for 4226. If you have any (or may I dare say, a bunch) of those, then you could use his advice. Check it out and you'll be amazed with the results :)

Basically it's a security thing that XP SP2 imposed by limiting the open TCPIP connections to your computer. This is indeed a GOOD thing for most common folk, especially those who are susceptible to worm attacks. But for the hardcore internet geek at heart, nothing goes without a tweakin'. So, to get more control, go thru the guide and be impressed with the results!

Happy tweakin'!
