mbelli Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 I've been using uTorrent for two years on 4 different computers. Suddenly, this is happening on my main Vista machine and I can't figure out why:- I connect to the Internet, no problem, Firefox/IE/Outlook work perfectly- I download a torrent via uTorrent, the torrent downloads fine, uTorrent works great- I go back to Firefox/IE/Outlook and now with uTorrent running, my Internet connection chokes. I can't access anything UNLESS I REBOOT!I've checked my modem on my iPod Touch (wireless) and all is perfect, my connection is sound -- just that uTorrent has done something when it loads that cripples every other app going online, except for uTorrent.Now, I did download 1.8 beta and this is when the problem stated, but I did remove it and went back 1.7.7, but unfortunately this didn't solve the problem. As it stands now, uTorrent is off this Vista system and unusable, and I have to look for another BiTorrent client.Any ideas, help or suggestions???

Recall Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 Exact same problem here, and I mean exact. All that ever happens here is a post to that damn faq, but it does not fix anything. There is something that utorrent adds to the registry that fuxors every other internet app when it runs.I tried loads of other bitorrent apps and none of them bugger my internet. So this is not a hardware issue, it is software and that software is utorrent! I really want to use it, but I am unable to, and nobody seems to know the answer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recall Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 Well after searching furiously, it seems it is an issue with utorrent and NOD32.I excluded it as a web browser in advanced options of nod32 and no more dead internet. This issue has been driving me nuts for months!OP - Are you using NOD32? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 Are you using NOD32 3.x? Series 3 is a lot less buggy than 2.7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Recall Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 I am using NOD32 3X latest and up to date Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbelli Posted May 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 Are you guys saying there's an issue with nod32 and uTorrent? Cause I just started using nod32 two weeks ago and that's when this issue started. Come to think of it, upstairs on my Vista laptop which has no antivirus software on it, uTorrent works perfectly. However, I did turn nod32 off during my tests and this did nothing to improve my situation.Anyhow, I tried all the suggestions to fix uTorrent but nothing worked, so I did this with some interesting results:- dumped uTorrent from my system completely and cleaned my registry- went to CNET and downloaded top torrent apps, Azureus, BitComet & BitTorrent - installed Azureus and immediately got rid of it, the UI is all-invasive and it had problems with port forwarding right from the start, terrible program- installed BitComet and it worked fine, no lag when using Firefox/IE and Outlook, uninstalled it to try BitTorrent next- installed BitTorrent which immediately updated itself to newest version and I guess since they bought uTorrent it basically is uTorrent under the BitTorrent name. BUT THE BIG THING HERE IS -- it fixed my issue. BitTorrent works just like uTorrent and Firefox/IE/Outlook and all my Internet stuff works perfectly even with nod32 (if that's indeed an issue).Any other problems with BitTorrent/uTorrent and I'm going to go to BitComet instead. This is the weirdest thing and I can't explain why this fixed the Internet stalling but I'm sure glad it did!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 All the suggestions and you completely ignored providing us with the information that the troubleshooting thread specifically requests.I guess you want to go use a client that spies on you instead of troubleshooting one that doesn't.

jewelisheaven Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 There's nothing to "clean" the registry of from uT. Azureus not being able to get past your blocked ports is a sign you've got something else in there. DWKnight is referring to BitComet about spying client. BitTorrent 6.x (based upon uT) is the same no-spy/mal/ad-ware it's been http://www.bittorrent.com/spyware-free/Why don't you go through the troubleshooting sticky and copy-paste the two logfiles it asks for below in this thread?

Recall Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 mbelli, yes 100% is the issue with NOD32. Disabling it will not fix it for some reason, however excluding it as a web browser as posted above DOES work for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
