Can't download two consecutive torrents

[Jackpine]

I have always been able to download two or more torrents without anything unusual happening. However, for some reason that I can't figure out, I have been unable to download two consecutive torrents since the last week. Let me explain.

When I am on a website and select a torrent, it opens in utorrent no problem. But, when I go back to that same site and select a second torrent, I get a message saying that explorer has encountered a problem and then the website closes down. utorrent continues to run properly.

The only way that I can do two or more torrents is to go the site, select the torrent, start it in utorrent, and then exit the website, go back to it and select the second torrent.

I generally keep my computer clean of spyware, trojans, etc., but I did a complete scan using various programs and nothing showed up. As a matter of fact, the computer runs extremely well.

I have not done anything unusual to it and can't explain what is happening.

Can anyone offer any suggestions? Thanks a lot.

Hmmm... is it normal to have 4 instances of this exe in your log ?

C:\WINDOWS\system32\drwtsn32.exe

[DreadWingKnight]

The linebreak mess doesn't help matters either. I can barely read it.

[Jackpine]

1. I don't know if it is normal to have the .exe file noted above 4 times.

2. The log appears perfectly readable on my monitor. I don't know what is messed up.

[moogly]

This .exe is DrWatson from Windows. Check it.

In addition you have Nero Scout and ZA. Bad softwares with uT.

[Jackpine]

I removed all but one DrWatson. Nero Scout and Zone Alarm have been running on my machine for the last 3 years.

The problem I described above still occurs, and I am no closer to figuring out why. Any other possibilities?

[Claw_gr]

Have you tried to use firefox instead of internet explorer? (or the opposite?) It maybe a new installed plugin or something.. Lately Internet Explorer became to laggy for me too
