I don't know if NAV 2006 contains a firewall, but if it does, you might want to check whether uTorrent is listed in the exceptions.

[servetaboy]

it is also bit torrent

[ajones81]

Huh?

[servetaboy]

yes its allowed in the norton firewall

[ajones81]

Can you delete and recreate the rule for uTorrent and check? If nothing works, you might want to temporarily uninstall NAV to see if that was the cause of your problems (simply disabling it might not really help).

no nothing works no download activity since yesterday im beginning to think torrent is a white elephant. from what im reading in these posts and threads no body seems to be able to get it to work and no offence to ajones81 but the moderators are very condesending,we not all are comp literate they way they THINK they are there is a lot of arrogance in their answers i even read one were he calls the questioner a peabrain this attitude does not help in any way or form i bet they jump on this post though as i have attempted to pour scorn on their superior intelect [ ha]

Who is your internet provider?

[servetaboy]

clear wire broadband

wireless connection

would you beleive i finally got it workin after nearly a week and a half now i need to see if i can actually download something

but i still think most people would have given up at this stage im just stubborn =d

Clearwire is known to throttle BitTorrent (you'll find other reports in the forum).

@servetaboy: No offence, but did you see that pea brain crack here (http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?pid=186331#p186331)? If so, a careful perusal will make it amply clear that it was a case of one Member (spin), calling another Member (trinop) names. No Admin or Moderator doing the name-calling as far as I could make out. BTW, I too am only a normal Member like you, and the only time I've seen the Admins or Moderators exasperated and sharp-tongued is when people give them sufficient reason to be so, and never without any good rhyme or reason. Anyway, it's a thankless (and non-paying AFAIK) job so would/could you do it day in and day out with the same degree of calmness? Nothing excuses outright bad manners of course, but I've yet to see it being displayed by the powers that be.

Coming back to your problem, if it is indeed a case of your ISP being hostile to BitTorrent as Ultima said, then you're out of luck, sorry.

[Ultima]

He's almost definitely referring to this post, which (obviously) wasn't a case of namecalling if anyone took even a second to look at context.

[ajones81]

Heh. No wonder I didn't find it using Search!

Anyway, I guess anyone who names himself peabrane had that coming, eh?

@servetaboy: Satisfied?

[servetaboy]

its a self infilicted job - in my job i see stuff that could cause death in the most extreme and i mean extreme but i diont call people names i explain to them that this is what you need to do it might cost money to do it but its cheaper than dying but to get to the point it nice to be polite no matter what or who your are facing i am not coputer literate but i can use ione if its explained in a way i can understand computer speak is for people who understand it moderator or not people will only learn if they are interestyed enough to learn and you have to make it interestin not gobbledegook and yes i am satisfied
