Old_Bean Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 I'm not getting any error messages or firewall interference, but I'm not connecting to any trackers at all. Is there some setting that could be doing this? I've tried re-downloading the torrent and uTorrent is an approved program in my AV program. Any help would be greatly appreciated!Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 Remove any entries of uTorrent in your software firewalls and AV program -- which also sounds like a software firewall!Then re-add uTorrent entries to them.Your ISP (Rogers Cable ISP in Canada?) might be interfering with BitTorrent traffic...but I'm not sure they'd go so far as blocking trackers.Does the Open Office test torrents (mentioned in 1st link in my signature) download ok?It's used because it's know to be good and downloads very fast. You don't need to complete the download OR use it for anything, just use it to test your connection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old_Bean Posted January 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 Switeck, your first suggestion, to remove uTorrent from my firewall (Norton AV), and then re-add it worked like a charm! Thank you so much...you really saved me a lot of aggravation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 Probably uTorrent got updated and the AV thought uTorrent had gotten corrupted and was partially blocking it. Really lousy of the AV to not block uTorrent completely in that event...because was it REALLY virus-infected, the AV would be letting it access the internet and LAN!
