Windows XP & Vista Connection Limit Patch

[Terry]

If you get few working proxy or it takes too long to test the proxies, you should use this patch. Then you can set the Max Thread from the default 5 to 50. It will boost the testing speed by 10 times.

For Windows XP / Vista / Win7 Users

Windows only allows 10 or 25 simultaneous connections from XP SP2 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 (fourmproxyleecher.com), Elite Proxy Switcher (eliteproxyswitcher.com) and Socks Proxy Checker (socksproxychecker.com). You can use this patch to fix it.

About how to use TCP-Z:


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

For Windows Vista and Win7
Open TCP-Z -> Click the tab Patch -> Patch Memory -> Set the New Value to 100 -> Apple -> Done. You need to use TCP-Z every time before testing the proxies.

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.
