tuscyclist Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 I have utorrent 1.3 and just received a warning from zone alarm that utorrent was trying to send e-mail. I denied it acces to do so. Anyone know whats going on? Did utorrent pick a port that ZA saw as smtp or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tuscyclist Posted December 13, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 Help! µTorrent is sending e-mails/accessing the web/ etc!This is a false positive 99% of the time. Occasionally, peers use common service ports, such as 25, 80, and so on to bypass restrictions they may have on their ISP. The only exception is on start-up, where µTorrent loads a page on uTorrent.com to check for the latest version. This functionality can be disabled in the Options, on the General Options section: "Check for updates automatically."It also connects to router.bittorrent.com if you have DHT enabled, this is REQUIRED for the functionality of DHT.
