Captain Download Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 Hi all, I'm a new poster so please take it easy on me. I've been using utorrent for many years now and find it a great app. i've had many years of downloading and love it. recently due to a HD failure I purchased a new PC which came with Vista. (I had previously been using Windows ME followed, for a long, time by XP). I unfortunatly was having a hard time with utorrent crashing all the time and figured out that it was conflicting with Zonealarm. I removed all instances of ZA from the machine including registry entries and now it works fine, however, whenever I'm downloading I cannot seem to surf via IE7 or download any update for any AVC software etc My connecton is completly taken over. Utorrent works fine and downloads perfect but I have to wait 10 minutes or so after I stop Utorrent for my internet connection to work. I'm using version 1.7.5 and will update when I get home. I have limited Up and Down speed and have ports forwarded correctly. Any other similar problem to this that there is a fix for?Thanks all......

jewelisheaven Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 Well "taken over" falls under "interrupted/slow connection".... read farther downYou may need to add utorrent.exe to the ESET preferences browser scanning. It auto-scans packets apparently.. which slows stuff down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 To verify you've limited down and up settings in uTorrent, could you please post your measured online speeds down and up as well as current uTorrent settings -- even just what speed you chose in Speed Guide (CTRL+G) will do if you didn't change anything afterwards.

I have a setting in Eset that treats utorrent as a web browser - i read somewhere that this helps. Can't remember where. When I was having difficulty with ZoneAlarm - It was a suggested fix.

Firon Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 Disable the web scanning altogether. It causes problems.Your connection count is way too high, and that's far too many torrents. Open the Speed Guide and choose xx/256k, then disable DHT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
