TRYER Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 Try turning off your Windows Firewall... it could be blocking your torrents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moogly Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 Dwl the OO suite is a good test to see if your settings are correct and if your bandwith is not filtered.In addition, OO suite is a popular sofwatre so you will find a packet of peers and it's legal content.Go here http://distribution.openoffice.org/p2p/ (choose randomly options, it doesn't matter) and dwl then load the .torrent in uT. Then make a screenshot of uT to see where uT behaves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thelittlefire Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 Have you gone through the guides? http://utorrent.com/guides.php A laptop is no different from a desktop. It can either use UPnP or set a static IP to connect to a network. It however may need MORE configuration/switching to an "alternate profile" to do so seamlessly, when you're on the move for instance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
