Funk Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 After I shut down µTorrent, it continues to attempt to access my internet connection. It is not listed in the processes (as far as I can see) and it tries repeatedly for up to a minute at a time.As far as I'm concerned, there's no reason WHY it should try to do this. If I shut down a piece of software, I expect it to shut down and stop doing whatever it was doing. I actually block it in the firewall for the time being.Can someone shed some light or provide a logical reason why µTorrent should behave in this fashion? It's an otherwise excellent piece of software but this causes my eyebrows to raise somewhat.Apologies if this is repost, but I feared searching for 'µTorrent' and 'Firewall' would have me here for a fortnight....Many thanks in anticipation of your responses.Funk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 It's called incoming connections, something you have no control over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funk Posted November 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 Nice one, Firon - thanks for your speedy reply. It hadn't occurred to me that it could be incoming connections looking for µTorrent. God, I can be such a dumbass at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
