turbovulva Posted February 7, 2017 Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 Upon every start, uTorrent attempts communication with 52.222.218.103. I have been unable to find it myself, so can someone please state what the exact domain name is for that IP so that I may block it in my HOSTS file? Thanks!

PiusX Posted February 8, 2017 Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 What version are you talking about? If there is a problem you need to follow the Rules to Report problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like it's something to do with IPv4. https://db-ip.com/52.222.218.103 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbovulva Posted February 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 Of course it has to do with IPv4. uTorrent tried to connect to MANY addresses at launch and I have nailed down most of them to a specific domain name that can be entered into the windows hosts file to prevent these unwanted connection attempts. For example, hare are jus a few of the entries in my hosts file: activate.utorrent.com ad.bench.utorrent.com ads.bittorrent.com apps.bittorrent.com bench.utorrent.com beta.bundles.bittorrent.com offers.bittorrent.com ut.bench.utorrent.com update.utorrent.li Each one of those I matched up with one of the many IPs that attempts a connection at every uTorrent start. The problem here, is that I am unable to match a domain name with the 52.222.218.103 address. Without the actual offending domain name, the connection cannot be blocked via the Windows hosts file.

PiusX Posted February 8, 2017 Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 Then do a proper Rules of Reporting Problem on utorrent support page to look into the matter. We don't do support like that on here this is only user to user support help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I already stated this isn't a problem report. uTorrent attempts these connections by design, but that doesn't mean they are wanted. If it were a "problem" where the app wasn't SUPPOSED to be doing this... I would fill out a proper problem report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
