dberkwood Posted February 10, 2016 Report Share Posted February 10, 2016 Hello, My torrents are stuck at finding peers but I can't find out what the issue is. I've search through the forum here but I haven't found a sollution so far. I use uTorrent on a Windows 10 computer. I've uninstalled and reinstalled uTorrent a couple of times but that didn't help. I've set the port for incoming connections on a random yet suitable number and that didn't help either. On my Sitecom I've enabled NAT and UPnP. When I look at tracker status I see statusses like 'connection timed out' (see the image I have uploaded with this message) I hope somebody knows what to do and would like to help me out.

DreadWingKnight Posted February 10, 2016 Report Share Posted February 10, 2016 Looks like either a dead torrent or your internet security software is blocking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've tried another much more popular torrent and it still won't connect to anything. I looked into my internet security software, Norton, and saw that uTorrent was indeed blocked. So I allowed it and now it's downloading the torrents. Thank you so much for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try with a VPN (free is ok) and let us know if it has been solved My internet security software was blocking it. I unblocked uTorrent and now it works just fine. Luckally no issue with my network. Thank you for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi dberkwood, I'm facing exactly the same issue. Could you please describe step by step, How to configure Norton for enabling uTorrent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you please describe step by step, How to configure Norton for enabling uTorrent? Hi, I'm Dutch and so is the language on my Norton software so I hope I translate it well enough. It's a fairly simply process though. 1. Get into the settings menu 2. Open your Firewall settings 3. Open the tab for Programm Management 4. Scroll down the list or search for uTorrent. 5. You'll see that the program is blocked. You can change that so your Norton will allow uTorrent to get data. It should work now. I hope your problem is solved as well.

I use MSE and have no such problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uTorrent88 Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 Hi dberkwood, thanks for the help. I went to checked on my Norton360 Firewall setting and uTorrent start working perfectly for me. 1. Go Firewall setting 2. Go Program Control tab 3. Search uTorrent (Forget circle in red) 4. If any of the uTorrent logo shows block, just switch to allow. 5. Click Apply and it will start working perfectly. Regards, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
