shanemckay1 Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 For the last couple of days, all my UTorrent downloads won't begin downloading. All i see is a permant 'connecting' in the status boox. I thought that it might have been a firewall problem but i turned off my firewall and the problem is still there. How can I get it working?Ive been using UTorrent for years with no problems at al I have Xp with SP2?shane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTHK Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 Unless it's the Windows Firewall, turning off a firewall is a lie. Uninstall it or remove all the rules for µT and make new ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Switeck Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 What firewall was that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
factory81 Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 Problem sounds similar to mine, so you reinstalled utorrent? Or uninstalled a firewall to fix your problem?Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shanemckay1 Posted August 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 Hi, I uninstalled and reinstalled UTorrent and removed my UTorrent info from my firewall. My firewall is called PC Guard and is free as part of my broadband package with my ISP. It is a pretty terrible piece of software. It started blocking UTorrent and all my Steam games after updating itself even though they were allowed allowed though the firewall. The fresh install worked.shane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTHK Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 Comodo Firewall works pretty well, so if PC Guard has you down perhaps you should give that a try. It'll also ask you about changes to a program, instead of just silently blocking it.I wouldn't recommend the AV though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
