tenfold Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 After I exit uTorrent, there are serveral (probably 100 or more) TIME_WAIT connections from uTorrent. How can I kill all these once I exit uTorrent so I can re-connect to all nodes and peers freshly or make room for other connections? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 You can try using TCPView from sysinternals.com to try and forcefully close them, but that doesn't always work. In the end, if you have a lot of TIME_WAIT connections that won't go away, it's generally due to some lower-level driver issue (could be a firewall driver, or something that's causing connections to lock up).

tenfold Posted January 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 I tried TcpView. They don't close the connections on time_waits.They do go away but it usually takes around 10-20 mins for them all to end.I put bt.graceful_shutdown on, that seemed to kill them a little quicker but just wondering if there was a quicker way.

DreadWingKnight Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 What internet security software do you have installed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tenfold Posted January 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 Sygate Personal Firewall Pro 5.5.I already allowed uTorrent to make connections by making an advanced rule allowing it to make a a tcp/udp connection to any ip on any port 0-65535.
