There are several tricks and some advanced tips for optimizing eMule and uTorrent to download at full speed, but perhaps the key element common to both systems sharing/P2P file is relative to the limit imposed by Windows for the so-called "half-open connections. In fact, since Windows XP SP2, Microsoft introduced a limitation to a maximum of 10 half open connections, for reasons of safety: for half open connections (ie connections that remain in state SYN) normally occur when such a virus (such as the famous "Blaster") tries to open a large number of simultaneous connections to different IP address.

But, as you know you also, in addition to viruses and malware, P2P software all work with the same principle and need to open a large number of connections to different IP address! For this reason, anyone who wants to push hard or eMule Torrent is bound to apply a patch that removes this bottleneck. The solution that usually I have always used (and recommended) was to use the patcher LvlLord's Event ID 4226 which in fact does physically change the system file "tcpip.sys" so as to increase at will the maximum number of half-open connections (with the risk that every Windows update is restored to the original version).

Simplifies the search for a Bit torrent thanks Che!

One of the major weaknesses of the various BitTorrent clients such as Emule respect has always been in my opinion the lack of a function "serious" integrated research. On the other hand this is due less to the shortcomings on the part of those involved in development, as to the nature of the BitTorrent protocol for which the distribution and sharing in P2P mode of files is based on the distribution of files. "Torrent" only real source contains the information for retrieval and download the file to download. For their part, the files. "Torrent" is usually "hosted" at forum-based sites (such as "Colombo-BT 'the most famous Italian resort torrent closed by the authorities just a few days ago), or from search engines and indexing such as Demonoid and Piratebay. The problem is that these sites are often difficult to use and are often discarded after a judicial to hinder P2P. Read more
