If µTorrent is bogging down your high-speed Internet connection - whereby web browsing becomes extremely slow or either stops altogether - symptoms point towards an unpatched TCP/IP half-open limit. Most patchers directly modify the TCPIP.SYS file, which usually results in undesirable MS security issues and/or false positives from antivirus software. TCP-Z is different (http://deepxw.blogspot.com/), as it alters the TCP/IP limit in memory, for a safe & fast solution under any Windows OS environment (including x64 Vista and the new Windows 7). Release the power of your network; download faster, and run more Internet tasks simultaneously - all without the side-effects of other patchers.

Looks like a good and easier to use alternative. The memory patching idea has been covered before by a driver called tcpip_patcher.sys that was often distributed with and loaded by some P2P programs (like Ares or KCeasy), but it often set the max amount of half-open connections to small values like 250 or 100, which was actually harmful if you had "hard" patched the TCPIP.SYS file to allow a higher number.
This tool, in turn, seems to be more customizable and compatible (it even works with Windows 7!) in that aspect. The only downside I could find at the moment is that you need to run it every time you start your PC to patch the limitation, which doesn't happen with other .sys file patchers. This can be worked around by installing the "TCPZ Virtual Driver", though. The tool also allows you to "hard" patch the TCP/IP driver file as well.
