I didn't actually mean that you should... and if you wanted to use that feature, you have to open that port as well. Just stick to your normal µTorrent listening port instead of using the alternative port...

Did you enable the alternative listening port? If not, you shouldn't be using 8080 as your port number.

@uTorUser: lol yes that's known as well, as that was the simple method ludde chose to hide the WebUI from casual users, since the WebUI files still weren't public, and people were complaining about it "not working." It's actually been like that since before 1.6 was released, and behaves the same way on 1.6 stable. The reason we say Ctrl+P is because it's simpler to just press Ctrl+P rather than holding Ctrl and selecting the menu item

That's why the readme specifically says Ctrl+P -- it's known. @RawIsWar: http://localhost:PORT/gui/ <-- replace PORT with your listening port on µTorrent... doesn't work?

If the last three posts are regarding µTorrent... Two months, three months, whatever number of months, it doesn't make any difference. The reason no release dates are announced is because people have these expectations for a grand release on a specific date, and then it turns out the release isn't so grand when ludde has to run against the clock to make a half-baked release full of critical bugs. Trying to figure out a pattern in a nonexistent "release cycle" is even worse, as it creates false illusions and expectations of when a new version should/will be released.

1c3d0g doesn't visit the forums anymore, AFAIK. If you're new to µTorrent/BitTorrent, read the guides: http://www.utorrent.com/guides.php

Yeah Sympatico has been the only viable alternative mentioned in the forums for Canadian users so far (AFAIK).

It's supposed to have a .conf extension, but yes, it's just a plaintext file.

Don't hijack threads, mkay?

In your case, it's t3h µ running under t3h U Edit: Check this post out. Pelo was able to run µTorrent without the ugly gray window. I tried unsuccessfully, but was probably doing something wrong. Maybe you'll have better luck.

I'd always wondered why the name "WebReaper" sounded so familiar... =o

True, it's always a possibility that your ISP is at fault, but I don't think you would've been lucky enough to slip through their throttling/blocking even once if it were a global thing... I don't have any *actual* better explanation myself, but that's just my view on that. So let's try this... 1. Uninstall your firewall (again if you reinstalled it) 2. Enable Windows Firewall (it should be able to let µTorrent through, assuming you set µTorrent to add the Windows Firewall entry) 3. Disconnect your router, and connect your modem directly to the computer If this works, then it's not your ISP, but some configuration issue, or probably a crappy router (I'm assuming you have no other security software that would block connections here).

Uh? What makes you think he's insulting your intelligence? That's what he really believes about software firewalls, and it's not totally untrue either O.o At any rate, I don't know what's up with your connection...

Oh lol, forgot about that =o

Yeah...? That is what's there, and I posted my rough translation, and Google's rough translation =o

I'll assume you forwarded UDP over that port properly. Um, have you tried uninstalling (not disabling) your firewall to see if it helps? These discussion should probably go into a new thread rather than filling the sticky up (which is here purely for information purposes).

Hm, I think he's saying "the program's not bad, but why isn't there a Chinese *something* (translation, maybe?)". I can't understand all of it... Edit: Nevermind, Google Translate says "This software is really good, but you can not have Chinese language home page?" So basically, he's praising µTorrent, but asking why there isn't a Chinese homepage. I was close enough

In our defense, we did recommend clearing your settings in older threads when people first started experiencing this, just never brought it up in this one as the hope was that the above things were the minimal changes needed. That and the fact that *I* mostly forgot about clearing settings (because of the previous reason). Meh.

Browse... the internet? If so, try this post...

Regardless, DWK's torrents up above would've fixed it if something were blocking. @Stucatz: Okie dokie, you're free to do whatever you want anyway.

Because disabling does not totally rid your system of the hooks a firewall installs on it. At any rate, freeware ZA is useless. If anything, at least use the more configurable Sunbelt Kerio or the older Kerio PFW 2.1.5, which has been reported to work fine. Edit: And for some odd reason or another, firewalls aren't detecting a change in the utorrent.exe properly when upgrading to 1.6, so many of them require that you remove old rules. This is *not* a µTorrent bug, but a bug with firewalls not catching the change. My hunch is that ZoneAlarm isn't deleting old rules properly, or isn't doing *something* right with them, so it's not allowing the newer version.

We didn't say to disable ZoneAlarm. We said to uninstall it. Big difference.

Then the problem is ZoneAlarm as suspected. You might not've removed/readded the rules properly earlier. My suggestion is to make a clean install of ZoneAlarm, reconfigure the µTorrent rules, and try again. Or switch firewalls.

You don't uninstall it because Firon doesn't like it. You uninstall it because a lot of people have problems with it, and you might be among this group of people. Try uninstalling it and seeing if it fixes the problem.
