byrnebv Posted June 1, 2008 Report Share Posted June 1, 2008 I have been using two computers (PC and laptop) through the same router for over a year. Up until a couple of months ago, the laptop now downloads very slow (yellow). The PC continues to run fine and very fast (green).Not sure why the laptop now runs so slow? I travel with the laptop, and the slow download speed makes it tough to work with.Any ideas?Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spirotot Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 Different firewall? Any major updates (for example, XP SP3 or Vista SP1? I don't know if they'd make a difference or not, but still...)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancedar Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 Have you updated to the beta version recently? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 A software firewall may be allowing an older version of uTorrent to run un-firewalled, but newer versions it doesn't recognize...so they are all firewalled-by-default. ...And speeds suck as a result!

byrnebv Posted June 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2008 I am using 1.7.7No new updates or firewalls.For Switeck, should I remove the lastest version and reinstall? Is there a way to make sure there are no "older" versions still lingering in my system? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted June 7, 2008 Report Share Posted June 7, 2008 The easier way is to remove and re add rules for your software. If you think there's another uT, then check the add/remove programs entry, and the run path from the start menu or msconfig. It should all be the same.

Switeck Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 byrnebv,You should remove ALL rules in your firewall software that mention uTorrent. Then add a rule back for the latest uTorrent...which presumably is what you're using now.thebiatch,Read this:http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?pid=337158#p337158 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
