hoping this is the right forum.
Well, my problem is as follow:
since a couple of months i've noted ugly performance of my broadband connection, a 100Mb fiber FTTCAB type.
Quoting a different post from another forum/user that describes perfectly my problem
Now in that post, the culprit seemed to be the AV; so i did as follow:I am using Windows 7 x64 Ultimate Edition. Whenever I start a download from my download manager it downloads at full speed for about 2 mins and then FIN_WAIT_2 gets accumulated and they start pulling the data thus reducing the download speed of the actual file. I have tried different download managers but all in vain.
1) uninstalled my current AV ( a different one )
2) reboot
3) used -AT MY OWN RISK- the net for a couple of hours doing usual stuff as everyday.
As result, NEVER a single instance of FIN_WAIT_2 was detected in my pc.
4) reinstalled the same AV.
5) repeated step 3.
As result LOTS of FIN_WAIT_2 was detected in my pc.
So the AV seems to be responsable for this mess
The only solution was to manually close this connections using TCPView.
I'll move to another AV but meanwhile, i was wondering if there was any patch/tweak or similia to limit/[auto]close this pesky FIN_WAIT_2 socket's state.
I read about a tweak
but it didn't solve my issue.HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\TCPFinWait2Delay
So i'm here asking any advices fro you,
Any hints ?
Regards.
