colden79 Posted February 6, 2006 Report Posted February 6, 2006 I cannot connect to any tracker or .torrent URL with either 1.4.0 or the latest 1.4.1 build 418. I can however download files (and have completed several), I suppose using peers from DHT. I have tried torrents on different trackers and all of them eventually read "timed out (offline)" under tracker status. When I attempt to add a URL to a .torrent file in µtorrent, the status bar slowly reaches 100% then says the request timed out, yet if I simply paste the same URL into my web browser, I can download the file from there.I have Windows XP Professional SP2. I have Windows firewall enabled, but µtorrent correctly gave itself an exception in the Windows Firewall exceptions list, and turning off the Windows firewall completely does not correct this problem. I also have Norton Antivirus 2006, but it prompts me only to permit all incoming connections whenever I start using a new version of µtorrent, and I choose "permit all", and besides that, disabling Auto-protect and Internet Worm Protection do not correct this problem.Any other ideas as to why different versions of µtorrent cannot seem to make certain types of outgoing connections on my system? Thanks,colden79
Firon Posted February 6, 2006 Report Posted February 6, 2006 I don't really know, but have you tried uninstalling NAV?And try this patch, patch it to 100, and reboot http://www.lvllord.de/?lang=en&url=downloads
colden79 Posted February 6, 2006 Author Report Posted February 6, 2006 Installing that patch fixed the problem - thank you very much!colden79
zedsky Posted June 13, 2006 Report Posted June 13, 2006 hey I was wondering if someone could explain what that program is doing? I'm having the same problem is this person. I just installed NIS 2006 and suddenly I'm timing out all the time. I belive it to be Nortons Fault but I had NIS 2005 installed before and everything worked fine so I'm really confused why its not working. Would using that patcher really help or is it something else? Thanks in advance for any help.I'm using 1.5 btwWindows Firewall OffNIS 2006 everything on (utorrent set as "permit all")
zedsky Posted June 14, 2006 Report Posted June 14, 2006 and what do you suggest I use? ZoneAlarm? or any others? thanks
Firon Posted June 14, 2006 Report Posted June 14, 2006 Common sense and a fully-patched system works best.Not Kerio, definitely not Outpost nor Zone Alarm. Kaspersky's seems to be OK, same for Look 'n Stop. Sygate SHOULD still be fine.
