[Possible Speed Tweak] Half-Open-TCP-Limitation

Ozz

By accident I stumbled about an issue that (older 32bit??) Windows systems might limiting your outbound TCP connections. I'm not an expert on this field but I guess its worth to check if you are affected by this. This should be especially true for all home-PC users as they are using 32bit OS often times. I'm personally not affected by this and tested it on 'Win 2008 Server R2 (standard)' and 'Win 7 64bit (ultimate)'.

This little tool will check if you are limited and give you a message if nothing can be optimized:

FAQ about tool and issue:

Please be aware of the fact, that I literally don't have a clue about this topic and it is possible that there isn't any system affected for the case that Mircosoft have patched all OS. I just thought that it might worth to share this for the case that your system is thwarted due to this.

Could be neat if it was added to SER in some manner, but I suppose it's not a core feature but would be neat.
