bunnyontherocks Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 Hello! I'm new here, and I've been to the site FAQ's, but they didn't have an answer to my problem. The thing is that every time I open my utorrent, the buttons all indicate that they are about to start downloading (they are blue), but after a few seconds they ALL turn red and everything just halts. And what's more, when I looked down to where it shows you the status, and under 'Tracker' it said this: "No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it."I've tried everything that I could think of (I think perhaps I'm just TOO new at this) but nothing has worked!If any of you can help, that would be so great! ;D And I hope this information about my error is thorough enough for you guys to understand!

Switeck Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 Start with your connection setup.What's the speed of your line both down and up?What settings are you using in µTorrent, as shown by Speed Guide (CTRL+G)? (too fast for your line and you'll get ALL kinds of problems, too slow and you won't be uploading nearly as much as you could be...thus costing you download speed back in return)Who's your ISP? (They might be blocking bittorrent traffic)Do you have a router? (have you configured it correctly?)What brand and model of modem do you have?Do you have any software firewalls, antivirus, or antispyware on your computer?

bunnyontherocks Posted March 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 Oh I'm sorry if I sound stupid.But where do I find the connection setup? I'm right now in 'Preferences', under 'Connection', and I'm looking at 'Listening Port'.But as for my 'Speed Guide' it says as follows:Connection type: xx/100Mbitupload limit: 11200 kB/s Upload Slots: 50Connection (per-torrent): 125 Connections (global): 100Max active torrents: 25 Max active downloads: 25And my current port is 34045.I don't know how to find the ISP, I don't exactly know if I have a router, and I have a 'Agere Win Modem'. And my current firewall has expired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 Your settings are ENTIRELY wrong. Re-read the Setup Guide. If, after you do that, it doesn't help, check the first link in my signature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunnyontherocks Posted March 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 Really!? Oh wow, I hadn't even realized. Thanks for the help, and I'll try both links! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted March 11, 2007 Report Share Posted March 11, 2007 My guess is you probably need the xx/384k setting in Speed Guide (CTRL+G). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunnyontherocks Posted September 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 Oh I did all that you told me and it worked great! Thanks and sorry I didn't answer sooner, I got a virus. :/ Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted September 2, 2007 Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 For the sake of the rest of the internet, it is probably best you removed the virus than hurrying to post here...while the virus was probably trying to infect 100's more people.
