r3ddrag0nx Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 my torrent begins to download for 5 seconds or so then the exclamation thing pops up on the bottom right corner of win xp and states that "Access is Denied". i haven't had this happen to me before. it's been doing this since bit comet. i thought it was just bit comet and switched to uTorrent and the same thing happens. it started to do this while i was downloading this one file. i noticed that my other torrents wouldn't download except that one file. i don't know if any of you are getting the uTorrent error of "Access is Denied", but if anyone here knows how to fix the issue, do let me know. thanks.btw, all torrents are doing this for me. none seem to work. =/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 Did you check our FAQ's incompatible software list? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r3ddrag0nx Posted January 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 yea i skimmed through the faq where it stated access denied, but that wasn't the problem. the problem is not the inability to open the file, rather it's the inability to maintain torrent connection. after approx. 5 seconds it will cut me off saying access is denied as if my ip or something is the problem. with bit comet i had a similar problem after downloading that 1 file. i switched to utorrent in hopes of it working again, but no luck. i'll take a look at the incompatible list.i'm runnin' win xp sp1, zone alarm, rogers yahoo anti-virus, bit comet, utorrent, MOTOROLA surfboard cable modem, router (SMC7004vbr router but took it off recently so utorrent port could be free), optimal utorrent speed settings, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 Let's see now.ZARogers Yahoo AVAnd don't try to run multiple torrent clients on the same set of files at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r3ddrag0nx Posted January 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 i strongly doubt that it's the yahoo online protection or zone alarm pro as i've set the ports open and everything, but i'll test some more. just restarted and closed everything besides msn, ZA pro, utorrent, IE. let's see how this works out. if anyone has any suggestions or knows what's going on here, do help.i havea feeling it could be ip/isp related.UPDATE: the file that i had downloaded, i tried the same torrent and it cut me off this time. says access is denied. this is really odd. any update guys?

Whoopmeister Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 This exact thing has been happening to me for months. I initially thought it was my Linksys WRT54GL router using DD-WRT, but after removing my router and replacing it with a Smoothwall SP1 firewall box, the issue still occurs. I have tried bringing up a newly formatted Windows XP SP2 machine with nothing on it (no anti-virus, windows firewall disabled, no other software period) but all critical Windows updates and just uTorrent and the Access is denied error pops up from the systray within the first 15-30 seconds of trying to download a torrent. Using other bit torrent clients such as ABC, works just fine though. Weird eh?Possibly relevant:ISP: ComcastTorrent Sites Used: Pirate Bay, TorrentSpy, and until recently ISOHunt.Using a static port of 32459 which has been forwarded through the firewall to my machines static IP.No other configuration changes made to uTorrent besides the port listed above.Other than this, I do not see what else can be done to eliminate conflicts on my end.Suggestions? Similar experiences? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kkseniya26 Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 I've been having the same problem, although I was using Bittorrent. I tried different ports, different torrents, and different options, also removed the "read only" option from the folder - and none worked. So, now that I've downloaded uTorrent, it seems like everything is fine. Hopefully it won't happen again. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 Access is Denied is ALWAYS caused by (hostile?) software on your computer that is blocking uTorrent from accessing torrents like it should. Admittedly, sometimes that software can be windows file/folder rights management... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egc1125 Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 Here is a solution:close your torrent appand run as administrator.it worked for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timtimtimtim Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 it's windows. i simply used a different folder on my machine and everything worked fine.inall likelihood your torrents are downoading to a folder with some odd permissions, and we all know how totally weird the acess mgmt of folders is in windoze.

misterstephen Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 Yes you're right. Moved the folder and problem solved. Thanks for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonHiei Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 I fixed it by adding "Authenticated Users" as a Group or user name to the Security permissions, set as Modify through Write, if you need more help your welcome to message on here.
