iamVab Posted December 5, 2010 Report Share Posted December 5, 2010 This only happened few days ago.I was downloading from a legal torrent and realized I am being attacked on my internet firewall.It was only when I opened uTorrent then the attacks will start.Speed is also significantlly slow these few daysHere's the log from my firewall.http://i52.tinypic.com/6ss6xg.jpgWhat should I do to stop these attacks?I'll be glad to provide more information if I have to.

DreadWingKnight Posted December 5, 2010 Report Share Posted December 5, 2010 Honestly seems like an overparanoid firewall rather than a genuine attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreadWingKnight Posted December 5, 2010 Report Share Posted December 5, 2010 It will improve your internet speed, both when torrenting and when not.And it doesn't make you more vulnerable to attacks. A number of attacks you're actually MORE vulnerable to with it on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
