vista much slower than xpsp2 can we change tcp lim

Hello,
Vista limits the number TCP connections - just like XPSP2. How can we change this setting? For XP most people went to http://www.lvllord.de/ and downloaded the patcher to TCPIP.SYS.
Please can Microsoft make an admin option or registry setting to disable or change this limit? It's REALLY annoying as currently Vista is 2x slower than my [patched] XP system when it comes to downloading multiple files via bittorrent.
Surely it's upto *me* / the user how I want to utilise my bandwidth / pipe?
Many thanks

This is false.

No it's not false. I have several error 4226 in my event log running beta-2/5384.

I get several after 10 minutes of running utorrent on it's default settings.
What is the limit? How can I change it?

When ever you use a torrent client program that will happen. Doesn't matter how many connections you allow....they will ALL get used.

Ben - you are correct as in XP - Vista Ultimate only allows 10 concurrent connections. May be different in the Enterprise and Business versions.
