1mher3 Posted October 1, 2008 Report Share Posted October 1, 2008 I noticed that when I run utorrent, my Internet browser often open web sites very slowly.I checked firewall and seen more then 100 connections made by utorrent, but I had only few active downloads and connection limit of download/upload is set 5/2.I removed all files and restarted utorrent.Guess what my firewall show!utorrent instantly connecting to like 70 IPs while nothing is being downloaded/uploaded.Why does it do that???

1mher3 Posted October 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2008 this is what firewall show ~half minute after I launched utorrent (no torrents are being downloaded). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelittlefire Posted October 1, 2008 Report Share Posted October 1, 2008 UDP is for DHT. Turn it off if you don't want your firewall going crazy due to the connectionless nature of UDP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firon Posted October 1, 2008 Report Share Posted October 1, 2008 Of course, some broken firewalls actually slow down the internet because they can't handle tracking a lot of connections. The only solution in that case... is to get a better firewall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
