elstocko Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 Hi, I was hoping someone would be able to help get me back up and running... for about a week and a half I have been unable to download anything using either utorrent or Azureus. The tracker status in utorrent reads: "No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it," while Azureus tells me "Scrape Error: Connection Refused: connect"I don't recall having downloaded or installed anything that would cause a problem, I have tried connecting through several wireless networks and I've tried downloading several different torrents. Even with my firewall turned off, the result is the same. Does anyone have any suggestions about what's going on and how I can fix it? Other information that may/may not be relevant: --When I try to 'check for updates' under the help tab in utorrent, it tells me 'Unable to contact utorrent update server'--Every port I try in the Nat/Firewall Test in Azureus tells me "Unable to test (invalid port given, or test service failed)"Thanks yallNathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 What firewall are you using...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elstocko Posted November 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 Well, I had thought only Windows, but I just found that the Trend software that came with the computer had its own firewall running... and sure enough that was the problem. Everything's back to normal.Thanks for your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icepick141 Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 Many thanks friends I too had this unhelpful message"No connection could be made as the target machine actively refused"I had not knowingly changed any setting, rebooted or remade the internet connectionbut was getting no downloading on one torrent for over 12 hours previously I had downloaded 86% of it with no problem.I am running Windows XP and I knew that it has an automatic firewall, A simple help search revealed how to turn the stoopid firewall on and off and as soon as it was off bingo the download recommencedIs this dumb or what???:mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
