matty_efc Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 Hi, I was seeding 4 torrents on the same tracker for a website I am a member of, but when I added a fifth one, this was the message I got.I managed to change this by changing number of active torrents to 6, but upon restarting utorrent, I get the same error on 5/6 torrents I am seeding.By removing and adding them again I can get 3 to seed, but I just wonder if there are any advanced options I may need to change to allow more to seed at the same timeThanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 Sounds like that tracker is limiting you to only a few active torrents at once...but giving the wrong error message code in response. Try asking them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 What advanced settings have you modified?What internet security software do you have installed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matty_efc Posted July 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 I haven't modified any advanced settings (at least I can't remember doing it), and I have ZoneAlarm firewall and AVG Free.I have tried seeding with the firewall off and it did not improve the outcome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 By "off" do you mean uninstalled?ZoneAlarm only stops interfering when uninstalled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matty_efc Posted July 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 Really? I only stopped the program from running for 15 minutes whilst the torrents continued.So you're saying I should uninstall to see what happens, I have also asked an admin on the site I'm seeding for, to see if they have heard of a similar issue before on thier tracker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 Yup, ZoneAlarm "deep-hooks" into the operating system, and turning off the program only turns off your control over it. It can and will continue to interfere until you uninstall it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matty_efc Posted July 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 By the way, Is there any way to restore all default settings to utorrent first?I'd like to try that to see what happens before I uninstall my firewall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matty_efc Posted July 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 Thanks for your quick and helpful responses I will try again with the default settings, and then I will uninstall Zonealarm as you recommended if I still have troubleThank you again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
