My brother installed it and was getting poor download speeds via BitTorrent. He then uninstalled the SP2, and his downloads began flying (like mine do on the same bandwidth, my machine without SP2 installed).

According to this little gem, Microsoft modified tcpip.sys to disallow more than 10 failed open socket connections on any one port, pushing any further connections into a queue. Give me a break. This effectively destroys peer-to-peer. Intended? I would imagine so.

SP2, for now, is out of the question.
"Yay! We did it!"
"Who are you?"
"Um, uh... just ... a guy." *flee*
