Hello,

I'm having a problem with the newest version of Phex. I have edited and confermed that the tcpip.sys file has been edited to allow 100 half-open connections. When I used Phex 2 I set the Max Concurrent Conections to 75 and life was good. With the newest Phex however I can't get more then 6. I have set the Max Concurrent Conections in the network setting to 75 and clicked apply and Ok. Nothing changed so I restarted Phex and still no go. I then restarted the computer and double checked that I had the latest java runtime enviornment and reistalled it. I also reinstalled the newest Phex twice. When I open up the network settings I see that the changes I made there stick (Max Concurrent Conections = 75) but I'm still only getting 6 connections.

I tired to go back to Phex 2 but it began to experance the same problem as well.

Strange thing is, when I uninstall and reinstall Phex, all the network settings remain the way I last set them. This leads me to beleive that not everything is being uninstalled because those saved settings have to be stored somewhere. When I uninstalled Phex I checked the box that says "do not save personal prefferences" or somthing alonge those lines, but for some reason they are still saved.

Where are these settings saved? When I uninstall Phex the Phex folder in the progams files folder is removed so I know it's not there.

I would be very greatful for any help you are willing to offer. Thanks in advance.

Max concurrent connections only indicates the number of concurrent connection attempts at one time. The number of all half open network, download and upload connection attempts are all counted for this. Once the connection is established it is not counted as a half open connection anymore.

The number of established network connection Phex holds is something different. Try to set Phex as "Force as ultrapeer". The number of ultrapeer and leaf connections to maintain can be specified below this "force" check box.
