DreadWingKnight Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 Looks like you have a severe case of a software firewall actively blocking traffic.At least on the torrent of the two that is actually formed properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orlandoDL Posted July 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 Thank you for such a quick response, how would I go about allowing these trackers? I am running on Windows XP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 It's not just these trackers, the software firewall you have on your system is actively blocking ALL of uTorrent.How you fix it depends on WHAT software firewall you have.

orlandoDL Posted July 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 I have the Windows firewall and then I also have a Norton Internet Security turned on....my computer crashed a few weeks back and I had to reinstall the OS so I assume a lot of features were restored to default. The windows firewall has uTorrent added as an exception so that may not be the cause of the issue. What do you suggest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 Add an exception for uTorrent in Norton or uninstall norton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orlandoDL Posted July 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 Ok I found that I have two uTorrent options in Norton, one that was on and the other that was being blocked...thanks a lot for your advice and assistance. Take care Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
