Utorrent is not downloding since yesterday

[cem]

Hi

I have been using utorrent for a while now and this has never happended before. I find what I want to download and everything looks fine but nothing downloads. I uninstalled and then reinstalled the utorrent but still no change. Can you help me?

... http://utorrent.com/setup_guide.php If you tested http://distribution.openoffice.org/p2p/ how did it work? Did it download? Were there any peers connecting? Was the tracker connecting? What about a torrent you finished and can seed, try that. It's possible your ISP recently put in shaping methods. Check out http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=15992 for ideas.

I tried everything however it still isnt working. I installed azureus and I can download stuff from there but I don't like that program. can you help me figure out what is going on? I mean if it was the ISP then I should not be able to download from other applications!

This happens to me too. No changes made in the setting or anything else on my computer. It just doesn't get connected sometimes.

I delete the contents of the utorrent folder C:\Documents and Settings\NAME\Application Data\uTorrent and utorrent works like normal again. I have to keep doing this every time this happens though...

How strange. Do you have a firewall?

[Paft]

Indeed

Just Windows FW and my router connected this computer. Could call it the main computer since it's the only one other than a laptop.

Hmm. Can you post a HijackThis log?

I don't know if you want all that infomation, I'm not as good on the software side of computers so I don't know what you can tell from that.

[Ramalama1]

I gotta interject something here - you may want to shut down all the non-essential programs that are running before you try to troubleshoot any sofware issues. I got a headache just reading that! A lot of the non-essential stuff you have running takes a toll on resources. You don't say how fast your computer is, but I will tell you that if I start up all that stuff on mine it goes about like a Pentium III. I would unload that Java Update - that creates havoc for me on a screaming fast machine. Also, I don't use Quicktime, I do use iTunes, and find that I don't need to run QT at all. Running an alphabet soup of BHOs can't help. Can you try to unload some of that stuff and try again?

[Paft]

Yeah, I know, just not bothered...yet.

Since I've posted I've deleted the folder from Application Data\uTorrent so have to try it when it's randomly not working again.

I'll keep you posted.
