    Hmmm. I have a 6Mbit connection and I see no degradation of speed. If anything, my file transfers and downloads over then network are faster than before. That is weird that you notice a slowdown... :confused:


    I was downloading a torrent off of Demonoid yesterday at over 2Mbit (I was pulling 3Mbit total with all my torrents combined)...so I dont see what you are experiencing. Hope you figure it out though. :)

    That is odd that you notice a slowdown...

    EDIT: I notice that you are using wireless...that may be your problem. Is it wireless g or n? (IMHO, wireless is a horrible type of connection if you are trying to get as much bandwidth as possible out of your network. I have a wireless-n router and never use the wireless because it is slooooowwww compared to a wired connection)

    EDIT2: I would recommend trying a wired connection, temporarily, to see if you get your bandwidth back, and narrow down the problem...

    EDIT3: For future reference, please try to refrain from making multiple threads on the same topic. It is not necessary and wastes space on the forum. :)

    You have an older wireless router then... That may be your problem. Try running a CAT-5 cable from the router to your PC and then run a speed test. I would bet that it is your older wireless router that is causing the slowdown. If there is no difference, connect your PC right to your modem and try the speed test again. Maybe your router is going bad. I have gone through 3 routers in the last 4 years... That's why I have a new router now :p

    Will increasing the "Half open connection limited" for torrent download work in Windows 7?

    He could try to increase is concurrent connections limit... But I would test the router first like I told him to, to be sure that his wireless connection (or possibly the whole router) is not going bad. He needs to do some tests to narrow down the problem and find the source...

    No, because win7's half open connections are now set at unlimited by default, older OS's were limited to 10, Ms changed it in win7.

    netsh int tcp show global

    then do a set for dca=enabled and set congestion control to ctcp

    netsh int tcp should show you the options from memory
