  1. After the most recent Win-10 updates, I have the following problems. Utorrentweb was deleted from my computer. Completely removed without my consent. The shortcuts were still there but the programme (which I have used for some months now) was gone. I next tried to re-intal UtorrentWeb. I downloaded the Utorrentweb install program for the correct website But UtWeb_Installer.exe is now trapped by my antivirus software (VPN) stating that it has FileRepMalware But that is not all. My VPN is now being blocked. When I connect with my VPN and go to the previouse sites I visited, The internet connection is killed. I can easily restore it, but everytimer I try the VPN and those websites, the connection is killed again, What is going on! Has big brother finaly won.

  2. I know that most of you guys could run circles around my level of expertise but, in the great spirit of sharing and caring, I would like to pass on my recent experience regarding throttling. Since I swapped over from AOL to Talk Talk I have noticed that uTorrent has slowed significantly. Yes I do know that AOL is now Talk Talk. But like I said, bittorent speeds were no problem until I went to Talk Talk. The Talk Talk tarrif I have is the one with 40gig ceiling and then pay for Boost. Anyway, I got fed up with this and did some trawling with Google. First thing I found out was that I should check the encryption settings in uTorrent. By default these should be enabled. Mine were disabled! Can't figure out how that happened. I enabled them. I then shut-down uTorrent for a bit. I started it up again. Within half-an-hour I noticed that I had a lot more activity on my bittorrents than I had before. Things were looking up. That was fine in itself but the speed was still low. I looked at the various websites and found something regarding Port Forwarding. uTorrent randomises its selection of port to forward. This is to help keep the seed-streams from prying ISP eyes. However it uses only one port. I downloaded a well known program. I then used it to manually set the port to 9 different ports. That sped things up a lot. I am guessing that setting 9 different ports, widened the amount of data that could travel through my computer, while at the same time, making it harder for my ISP to nail-down which port I was streaming through. Add the encryption as well and that seems to have tipped the scales in my favour. For now. If things get bogged down again I can alway - * Use that handy randomise button in uTorrent to make them loose the scent That is - Options>Preferences>Connection (Then click RANDOM PORT followed by APPLY) * Use the PFConfig application to set uTorrent up with another batch of different ports to stream through :-)
