If you get few working proxy or it takes too long to test the proxies, you should use this patch. Moreover after installing the patch you can set the Max Thread from the default 8 to 24 which can boost the testing speed by 3 times.

For Windows 7 and Vista SP2
Microsoft removed the connection limit in Windows 7 and Vista SP2, you do not need this patch any more.

For Windows XP Users, Windows only allows 10 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 Elite Proxy Switcher, Socks Proxy Checker and Forum Proxy Leecher. You can use this patch to fix it.

How to use TCP-Z:


For Windows XP
Open TCP-Z (tcpz.exe) -> Click the tab Patch -> Patch File Tcpip.sys -> Set the New Value to 100 -> Apply -> restart your computer -> Done. You need not to use the software again unless Microsoft restores the Tcpip.sys file.

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.

You can set the new value to 10 so that to restore the original system file.

[zizou]

HI
when I run the patch ad try to change the value to 100 I get a pop up that say:
"windows set up/recovery files exists at :
C:\I3868TCIP.SY_
Please eject setup CD or rename source directory, then try again"

And then by cliking on the only button "OK" I get the message " FAIL"

thank for your help

[Terry]

Then please use the method for Windows Vista and Win7:
Open TCP-Z -> Click the tab Patch -> Patch Memory -> Set the New Value to 100 -> Apply -> Done. You need to use TCP-Z every time before testing the proxies.
