Slow browsing + NOD32 fixed

[DreadWingKnight]

Then why the hell are you posting in an NOD32-specific thread?

[mc711]

if anyone using ESET NOD32 4.2 Antivirus (Smart Security should have this as well)

i believe the option is moved to

Setup -> Antivirus and Antispyware -> Web Access Protection -> Configure ->

Antivirus and antispyware -> Protocol Filtering -> Excluded applications

find utorrent.exe and check it. i believe this gives the same effect. haven't had any browser lag so far

Thanks mc711, I second your post.

I'm running Win2k8 Server R2 with 64-bit NOD32 4.2.35.0. I was just going to post identical instructions about the location, within NOD32, to exclude applications. Since I excluded uTorrent from NOD32, my bandwidth utilization in uTorrent is much better and the crippling lag in Firefox is gone.

It really doesn't make any sense to monitor uTorrent traffic through NOD32 as real-time file system monitoring is configured anyway; it's just an unnecessary application bottleneck. If you don't understand all of this, it just means that downloads will be scanned on the disk and not on the fly via protocol monitoring.

Now, if I could just get a fatter pipe...

I'm new. Windows XP SP3 behind Netgear WGR614 v7, real-time antimalware Prevx 3.0.1.65, NOD32 3.0.695.0 and I'm shopping for a BitTorrent client.

Given that I'm post 129 on a thread about people dialing in their uTorrent/NOD32 settings, does it make more sense for me to simply opt for a different client (I'm staying with eset). Or, is it as simple as opening NOD32: Setup > Antivirus and antispyware > WAP configure > HTTP > exclude uTorrent.exe?

Definetly Works

Hi I am new with torrent. Just to find out how the hell do I moved torrent movies which have been downloaded to my extention hard drive?

[saivert]

you guys are talking about slow downs. but can ESET in addition to µTorrent also cause other connections to drop? I'm running mIRC and when I run µTorrent my IRC connections keep dropping out with the error message "[10053] Software caused connection abort".

I however did not have this issue when I used Deluge.

[GTHK]

Try testing without ESET and disable the SPI firewall of a router if you have one. If that doesn't work, read the troubleshooting guides and make a new thread.

[saivert]

disabled all of ESET NOD32 4 scanning functions and now it seems to behave.

guess I have to look around for another av solution or just stick to scanning files on demand instead of running real-time scanning.

what do you think?

hm, if i have many downloads and nod32 running some times after its been on a long time it stops and says file already in use.. have to turn off nod32 for it to work. a while ago tho so not sure its been fixed, but was annoying me a while.

[atoms]

Thank you for this!

[schollar5]

The issue above, will appear in every app that uses network (including the localhost 127.0.0.1 access as well) not just browsers.. damn it took me a whole day to find the solution! thanks for posting.:cool:

I tried almost everything suggested in here, but i still have the problem.

I'm running Windows 7 with NOD32 4.2.42.0. When using older version like 1.8.2 or 1.8.5, there's no problem with the browsing at all, but when I try the most recent releases like 2.2 it's all going to hell. I'm not sure that the problem is nod32, it seems like utorrent itself to me.

[Allochtony]

worked for me too! Thanx

Slow browsing with uTorrent 2.2 and ESET Smart Security 4

This fixed the problem for me:

ESET Smart Security 4:

Setup -> Antivirus and Antispyware -> Web Access Protection -> Configure ->

HTTP, HTTPS -> Web browsers

Exclude the uTorrent.exe from content filtering.

Now I can browse as normally while uTorrent is running.

Thank you!

This solved my Internet clogging when I used µTorrent!

[billhiggs]

I am using Smart Security version 4, and just noticed this slow browsing with utorrent running recently, also slow connection to download email using outlook too

gonna try sure hope it works

[Iakovlion]

Hi everyone. I have the same problem as bytefreak. I'm runnind Win 7 64-bit, uTorrent 2.2.1. Internet browsing is slow and sometimes my comp even disconnects completely from the internet (the icon changes in the tray, showing that there is a problem). I've been using uTorrent 1.8.5 since recently and was happy with it. But a bug occured with that version: it didn't start downloading, i had to restart the program for each downloading to begin. Now I tried to fix Smart Security for uTorrent 2.2.1, but nothing helps.

So, maybe someone knows, how to fix 1.8.5, 'couse that version was ok for me. But restarting it each time is pain in the neck. Thanks

[DreadWingKnight]

So, may be someone knows, how to fix 1.8.5

We don't support that version. Period. Fullstop.

[souljafalyfe]

umm the screen on uTorrent just all the sudden went blank. i can only see the top of the page with the title, minimize, and maximize.....and file, options, and help...it wont let me restore the page to normal

Hi!

I've have tried this and other stuff from the faq's and i've read everything i can get my hands on, still i have to stop my uTorrent when i want to browse the web using explorer or as in my case Firefox. It's SO slow and fails to load my webpages that i will soon kill my self if i can't solve this. It does not matter if i shut off my firewall (windows 7 Ultimate) and turn off Nod32 V4.x it still slows down my Firefox browsing...

PLEASE how can i fix this?

Thanks, went back to 1.8.4 since i did not find 1.8.5 on my computer and now my problems are gone.

Where can i find 1.8.5, someone?

ToddeSwe

[DreadWingKnight]

1.8.5 is not supported. Neither is 1.8.4

Only 2.2.1, and the current 3.x development builds are supported.

[ToddeSwe]

Spoked to soon, same problem with old versions!
