If you're using XP SP2, have you increased the number of half-open TCP connections it can use?

TorrentFreak wrote an accessible explanation of the problem over 2 years ago -- the article focuses on bittorrent but the same is applicable for all P2P apps.

More technical info and the downloadable patching routine is available from LviLord.de.
