Half-open limit fix

How to reduce lag while playing games in Garena




What is half-open limit?
Windows XP SP2 and later versions have only limited 10 concurrent half-open outbound connections.
After 10, new connection attempts are put in a queue and forced to wait.
Thus, the speed of connection to other PCs is limited.
(Microsoft do this to slow the spread of virus and reduce DoS attack)


To simplify, it means when surf forums, you can only load up to 10 images at once.
If there's 20 images, you need to wait another 10 images to finish then only it load.
If torrent download, you can only receive connection up to 10 seeds.
If Garena, you play DotA already connecting to 9 players then anything like auto-update or download interrupt, surely it lag.

To solve this, simply change the value to 256.
256 is tweak for gaming and download.

	if you surf forums like utorrent(another big torrent downloader community), they only encourage you set to 100. They don't recommend you set more than that. (explanation) You download a file from 100 seeds without a doubt is already reach your max connection. Why some Chinese softwares recommend you need that much like 1024~2048? They want you to upload your files to 1024~2048 other people that using same software with the reason "Download Faster". This kinda sounds like cheat and no offense I myself a Chinese too. Set to 256 is more than enough. You will never need that much.
