Windows XP & Vista Connection Limit Patch

[Terry]

If all/most proxies die when testing them or you need more than 1 hour to test 4k proxies, you should use this patch. If you don't want to modify your system, please set the Max Threads to 5.

=======================================
For Windows XP & 2003 Users

Download the patch here:
http://www.lvllord.de/download.php?url=en/EvID4226Patch223d-en.zip
 
Windows XP SP2 & 2003 SP1 Beta limits the maximum TCP connection to 10 for safety. But you can only scan 10 topics simultaneously with this limit so that the leeching and testing process will be extremely long.

Use this patch to modify your maximal TCP connection number.
Please set it bigger than the total thread number you set for FPL and Bleach (100 is enough).

Your other multi-threading Internet programs, especially proxy test tools will also need this patch.

=======================================
For Windows Vista Users

Windows Vista only allows 10 or 25 simultaneous connections in order to improve the security, but an immediate downside is the fact that it impacts the multi-thread Internet programs such as Forum Proxy Leecher (http://fpl.my-proxy.com) and Elite Proxy Switcher (http://www.eliteproxyswitcher.com).
 
Please use TCP-Z to fix it, which is a patch in memory, not modify the system file:

It seems OK, but the delay of the proxies is abnormal. Most proxies are about to timeout.

This patch will modify the system file so some anti-virus program may regard it as a virus.
You can close your anti-virus and open it again after installing the patch.

Instead of permanently patching tcpip.sys, it's better to use in-memory patch solution. Check out:
