Windows XP SP2 Kills Internet Connections!Have you noticed that inexplicably, after applying XP SP2 that certain web pages seem to load slower? Are you experiencing slower/different ftp connection issues? Dropped ftp connections? If you have any of these symptoms and/or other 'out of the blue' issues with performance where multiple TCP connections are needed, you MUST read on! Billy Gates strikes again, apparently continuing to believe that MS knows better than you what your system needs are :GRRRRR:! For a resolution to these issues see this article at Raven's site Posted by Raven Sunday, October 03, 2004 (00:44:09)

Re: Windows XP SP2 Kills Internet Connections!
No problems here either... it actually sped up my system substantially... but then again... I don't use IE at all cause it crashes... go figure. by 64bitguy on Monday, October 04, 2004 (20:49:46) (User Info | Send a Message)
Re: Windows XP SP2 Kills Internet Connections!
Just for clarification, this is not IE, per se, related. It is the TCP stack that is affected and 100% of all XP SP2 unstallations are affected. You may not need/use multiple connections, but the connections used to be settable in SP1 and were, by default, unlimited. Now they are not settable (without intervention) and are defaulted to 4. If you are using an ftp client that tries to open up multiple connections to speed up transfers and you are perhaps viewing a site with 100 images to display (this is just an example), you will not have the speed that you once had. Obviously these fixes would not be available (nor needed) if things had not changed, and for the worse. Your mileage may very, but make no mistake that everyone is affected. by Raven on Tuesday, October 05, 2004 (03:10:48) (User Info | Send a Message)
