Switeck Posted April 14, 2007 Report Share Posted April 14, 2007 Your software firewall/s may be blocking µTorrent. Your router and/or modem may ALSO be blocking µTorrent. All that will likely need manual configuration.www.portforward.com is a good place to learn more about that.Also, what you're trying to download may be illegal to download in your area...and that can cause problems too.Have you tried the OpenOffice torrent? (It's used for testing purposes to see firstly if people can download at all, and secondly for how FAST they can download.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
