rehtse Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 HelloWindows 7 32bit, Bullguard with utorrent granted access.Having read the article in Computeractive I have downloaded utorrent; & tried to use it several times, without success.When I run the programme I cannot get past the bandwidth test screen, it hangs each time. When I try to run the programme again, it tells me "It seems like utorrent is already running but not responding, please close all utorrent processes & try again" I cannot "end process" from Task Manager, it simply doesn't respond. Each time I have to restart my laptop to clear the process & start the whole sequence once again.Can anyone offer me any advice as to why this is happening, & how do I correct this problem? Thanksrehtse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ovonrein Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 You get "It seems like utorrent is already running but not responding" precisely because you cannot "end process" from Task Manager. uTorrent is trying to close its connections gracefully (which takes some time, even under normal circumstances) and it seems that it is not succeeding on your machine. Have you tried running without Bullguard? Perhaps enable Windows Firewall for a moment? uTorrent usually manages to get thru that (assuming you have Options/Preference/Connection/Add Window exception checked).

ovonrein Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 Glad you are up. Disabling Bullguard did it? That's good. I'm not sure what Window's Firewall is like on 7 (I'm still on XP) but if it's only one-way, you might still wish to consider running Bullguard. You will only need a small set of rules for uTorrent, along these lines (from Outpost):(1) Allow Outbound UDP (all ports)(2) Allow Outbound TCP (all ports)(3) Allow Inbound UDP to 1900, 5351-5353, 6771, [myPort](4) Allow Inbound TCP to [myPort][myPort] is whatever port is configued in uTorrent/Options/Preferences/Connection and you will not want to randomize that.

severedsolo Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 Windows 7 Firewall does block outgoing connections but you have to configure them manually alot of the time, most things automatically get permission, there is no "this is probably safe but do you want to allow it anyway?" if it thinks its safe it will allow it, if it thinks its not it will block it and if its not sure it will ask Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
