Unable to download anything since update

[tararenee_nz]

Since I download the new update I have been unable to download anything. My firewall settings are correct and as they should be and I can't see why there would be a problem with my router as everything was working as it should up until I downloaded the update. Also I can download from my laptop, it is just my desktop not working. Next to each download it says downloading but everything either is blank or at zero. The download strip is green for the first few seconds then moves to red. I have read pages of questions and answers on forums but have not found an answer that works. Plenty of people seem to be having the same exact problem. I am using windows XP on my desktop. I have matched setting with uTorrent on my laptop(which i working perfectly fine) and all the settings are the same so I can't see the settings being a problem here. I was originally using BitTorrent when this started, I downloaded the update then could no longer download any files. I removed and reinstalled that along with the settings to see if that would help but no such luck. I then removed it again and downloaded uTorrent as another user suggested but I am still having the exact same problem. I have removed and reinstalled this a number of times to see if it would possibly help but again no such luck. Any ideas as to what the problem may be?

Thanks

I was downloading fine for 2 days. I just installed Utorrent 2 days ago. Now, when i click download torrent, the program comes up but all I get is the infinity symbol in the estimated time column. I've rebooted, reinstalled. Nothing works. Same result. It was working fine and then boom. It just stopped. Virus? Any ideas?

Mine has that same symbol. I have been searching for answers for days but no luck. Very frustrating.
