boo Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 if I remeber it correctly, windows firewall should make an exception for µTorrent if activated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 Indeed, it seems to have added an exception to the list for me. Maybe the wording should be changed for that option... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boo Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 I suggest ludde should change it to say:'Add an exception for µTorrent in Windows Firewall (Windows XP SP2 or later)'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 Agree. What I find misleading about that though is that unchecking it wouldn't make it "unadd" it or uncheck the corresponding option in the Exceptions list either. What I think should be done is... µTorrent should pop up a dialog like the shortcut creation dialogs, since it's a one-time thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 It uses the API provided by Microsoft to add itself to the exception list, many programs already do this (and there's no need to prompt, that's the entire point of the API). But yes, the wording needs to be changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scaramonga Posted January 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 Phew!.......I thought with uTorrent being a small footprint........it was trying to make up for it by taking over ones PC!! LOLBut yes, the wording needs to be changed.It does indeed! My suggestion:Add uTorrent To Windows Firewall Exceptions (Windows SP2 or later only) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
