BitCometBeta ChangeLog

==================================

20060826

[...]

Add Half-Open TCPIP connection limitatiom modafication for Windows XP SP2, in Preferences dialog

What specifically is the change? Is it the TcpNumConnections registry entry described among other places:

That will not change the maximum rate (number per second) of half-open tcpip traffic imposed by XP SP2 tcpip.sys, which is usually the cause for the EventID 4226 in the XP system log. The only way I know of to change the rate of outbound half-open tcpip traffic is to edit tcpip.sys with a hex editor. (tcpip.sys is a system managed, or protected, file and it will automatically be changed back if you try to modify it unless windows file protection is turned off.)

There's a big difference between maximum number and maximum rate, and unless people manually edit tcpip.sys, which I do not recommend, I think this change may mislead people into believing the problem imposed by XP SP2 has been solved, when it has not.

That's just me.

Wow! You are actually modifying the system file.

You are very bold. I'm not sure your courage is warranted, but that's an appropriate use issue. One school of thought would be it's ok if you can get away with it. Another might object to the wanton carelessness this method is likely to cause by unknowing users. I find it questionable and I'm definately not going to use that method. You'll have to deal with it--not only support, but also the effect this has on the character and nature of BitComet. Overriding Windows File Protection to modify system files is serious business, and some people may be hurt and unhappy.

I would suggest at least disabling that method until the user has been warned that what they are doing could seriously affect their system stability and accepts responsibility. Otherwise, you're assuming way too much competence on the part of the user.

The risk is that Microsoft may update tcpip.sys, like they did somewhere around June 22, 2006 in a regular windows update that most people have configured to run automatically, and following that a user unknowingly runs the BitComet tcpip.sys modification method to edit a new tcpip.sys based on offset values from the old tcpip.sys, networking could be lost and most people would lose alot of time and/or money fixing things.

Good luck!
