Instruction:
1) Extract to any folder and run Half-open limit fix
2) Choose a new limit of concurrent half-open outbound connections quantity and press "Add to tcpip.sys" (for the overwhelming majority of users there will be sufficient the limit equal 100)
3) Restart computer and enjoy

Restart of the program can be demanded after updating Windows or SP installation as sometimes Microsoft replaces old file tcpip.sys on new. If the program will cease to work with updated tcpip.sys there will be a new version on this site.

For Vista and Server 2008 users: Maybe sometime, after updating Windows or SP installation on a desktop will appear watermarks "Test mode". They can appear because in all versions of Vista and Server 2008, except Vista without SP(x86), there is the obligatory check of the drivers signature, and the tcpip.sys file sign with test signature after patching. Most likely, to make it disappear will be necessary simply once again to patch tcpip.sys.
