VistaTcpPatch Windows Vista TCP Half Open Limit Auto Patcher GUI Version
VistaTCPPatch Windows Vista TCP connection half open outbound connection limit auto patcher is a GUI based utility to patch remove the security limit restriction placed by Microsoft on tcpip.sys in order to limit potential damage when the system is infected by malicious virus. VistaTcpPatch is actually the GUI version of the original tcip.sys autopatcher batch script.
Patching tcpip.sys is a way to optimize and speed up upload download transfer speed of BitTorrent (BT) and eD2K (more commonly known as eDonkey2000 or eMule) peer-to-peer (P2P) protocl (if you’re using uTorrent, BitComet and any other clients related to ‘bit’ or ‘torrent’, then you’re in fact using BT), which tends to launch a lot of simultaneous concurrent connections to peers, causing Event Viewer system log to show plenty of “TCP/IP has reached the security limit imposed on the number of concurrent TCP connect attempts” with Event ID 4226. It will also help to make the increasing popular P2PTV such as TVants, PPStream, PPLive, and etc to stream the video channels faster and more smoothly, enhancing viewing movie or soccer match experience without lagging.

Make sure that you go to the correct folder the VistaTcpPatch.exe file is located (where you save it). For example, if you place the executable at C:\Users\Administrator\ folder, then you must change directory to that folder too.

The Vista TCP Patch GUI utility is retrieved from BitComet 0.91. It’s not clear if the utility works with tcpip.sys version 6.0.6000.20583 installed on Windows Vista after installing KB932596 kernel patch protection update. However, no sweat and worry over it, as the program will prompt a stop error message if the version of tcpip.sys is unmatched with the one it’s able to patch, or incorrect or invalid.
