Help Utorrent doesn't work after update.

[planetj]

I have been a member of the forum for a few months and I come here from time to time to solve my problems with utorrent. I was a user of 1.82. After I updated to 1.83, utorrent stopped working. I read through many threads and couldn't solve the problem and just gave up and began using utorrent on my other PC which runs XP as it's operating system. I am getting tired of constantly switching over to that computer just to use utorrent.

I updated recently to version 2.0. on this computer, but seem to encounter the same problems. I ran hijackthis 2.0.2 and got the logfile if anyone can help me. I am running Vista as my operating system.

Logfile of Trend Micro HijackThis v2.0.2

go to ccleaner.com and download ccleaner. run the cleanup and the registry cleaner (backingup of course) as well.

Cheers,

alright i didn't think i was slow but i looked through these forums and found no aid so hopefully this will be able to help.

Here's the deal:

I downloaded the new 2.0 (hooray usually) and before this update everything ran smoooothly. but now its like it has selective downloading. there are invalids flying around EVERYWHERE. which is terrible. I would like to know if there is anything that changed or if there is anything I need to change?

the most i can tell you is that i run on Vista (64) and I have the free version of AVG and then the standard windows defender and firewall, which i have checked them to be able to get through.

seriously anything will help! help! help! ;

[DreadWingKnight]

there are invalids flying around EVERYWHERE

invalid whats flying around everywhere?

[Firon]

What do you mean?

[Pika]

i actually have been using them and yet they find themselves useless.

every time i go to download something it says unable to load. (insert name) Invalid Torrent File. and this (again) didn't currently do this until i upgraded.

so i am sure you can tell me it's my fault or the other torrents issue but honestly this didn't happen until I upgraded.

[DreadWingKnight]

More information about your setup is required.

Are you using webui?

Are you running on wine?

[planetj]

I have removed Zone Alarm and disabled windows firewall. It still is not connecting to any peers or doing much of anything. I'm not using any router, I have my laptop connected to the cable modem by a ethernet cable. I have no issues whatsoever when I'm on my other laptop which runs XP as it's OS. One thing that I am noticing is that in the "tracker" tab it says "no connection can be made because the target machine actively refused it."

There must be some sort on network problem. I can't even do the setup test. Under speed test results: Connection failed error: a request to send or receive data was disallowed because the socket is......... I not sure what that means.

I've read through the faq's and other parts of the forum, and nothing seems to work.

[Firon]

Did you reboot after removing ZA?

[planetj]

Yes I rebooted.

[planetj]

I have disabled the auto-update ability in the PC that runs XP. (maybe the reason why it continues to work) I have tried to go back to earlier versions of uTorrent on the PC that runs Vista, but I have been unable to delete all traces of the program. Also my problems with uTorrent started while I was using McAfee. One of the reason's why I went to Zone Alarm was to use uTorrent.

I will follow your advice and try to use an earlier version of uTorrent.

[Firon]

Don't downgrade.

Could you try one simple thing for me?

Start -> Run -> netsh winsock reset

Then press enter.

[planetj]

I tried Start--> Run--> netsh winsock reset

nothing changed.

[Pika]

well nothing good has happened from this...utorrent is going to be deleted. I would rather poke out my own eyes than deal with this. which is too bad because i use to love it.
