Tmmy Posted September 29, 2010 Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 Ok so i've been downloading my torrents from my laptop (with the older version of utorrent) and it all seemed to work. Now i tried downloading on my regular PC, which i've done before and it doesn't seem to work. And the problem seems to be that something is wrong with trackers. When i click trackers it says: Hostname not found...Anyone a solution to this problem?Thanks in advance!Tmmy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted September 29, 2010 Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 Does the problem persist with known-good torrents like openoffice or slackware? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tmmy Posted September 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 Tried it with many different torrents and got them from decent/good sites such as demenoid and torrentbytes so i don't think the problem is there... Never had problems there before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moogly Posted September 29, 2010 Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 Ok, can you post more info: OS, µT build, antivirus/firewall, wireless/ethernet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tmmy Posted September 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 OS = XP (pro i believe)µT build = i'm using the latest version (if that's what you're meaning to ask)Antivirus/firewall = Norton, and my firewall i made µTorrent an exception so that it allows access to the internet. I'm not using wireless, just cable***edit:Problem solved, apparently it was Norton who was causing the problem.Thanks for your time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
