Vuze Bit torrent speed probs?

[kateg]

I have Vuze on my old XP laptop and my freshly built Vista desktop. the laptop using a wireless connection downloads at 158 kps, while the desktop using a wired connection downloads at 34-58 kps wtf? so far i have adjusted port settings, i now dont have a nat prob, and i even turned off the firewall and my kaspberry anti virus off, nothing helped. my ISP is comcast btw. also the specs are (laptop) 2.4 ghz, 2 gb ram, and only a 60 gb hard drive (that's why i want to use my desktop) my desktop is a 3.4 OC duel core, evga 8800, 4 gb of ram, about 1tb of hard drive space, 780i mobo (i don't think it matters much but all most everyone flames a person for asking computer related issues and dont give specs. thanks all

Maybe seeds aren't enough.
Also,Vista creates problem with torrent speeds. XP is better than it.
Please use uTorrent as my guide is about it. Also it's the best p2p software.
YOu must forward all the ports. Make sure torrent has enough seeds. If you are using utorrent then right click on your downloading torrent and set the "Bandwith Allocation" to "High".
Use TCPOptimizer
http://www.speedguide.net/files/TCPOptimizer.exe
Run it and select OPtimal Settings and click Apply. Then reboot your computer.

Also patch tcpip.sys. Download
http://www.ziddu.com/download/3055720/Half-open_limit_fix_3.1.zip.html
Run this program. Set the maximum open connections to 100 and click "Add to tcpip.sys". Then reboot your computer.
Now go to uTorrent. Click Options->Preferences->Advanced.
In the right side find the option net.max_halfopen and type in the value 50 and click Set.
Now exit uTorrent and start it again. You must gain good speeds.

Since you do not have a NAT problem and I assume you set your options within Vuze the same in both computers, the only thing I can think of is a half open connection issue.
XP SP2 has a 10 half open connections limit that almost all bittorrent clients can now work within.
I do not have Vista, but from what I have read the Vista Basic has a 2 half open connections limit. (Ultimate has a limit of 25, so it would not be an issue if you have that)

If your event viewer is showing EventID 4226: TCP/IP has reached the security limit imposed on the number of concurrent TCP connect attempts, then you would definitely need to patch this.
