something-something Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 Every single time I start uTorrent it asks me twice for permission to accept incoming transmissions through the firewall.I have custom firewall settings for individual programs on Mac OS 10.5 (Leopard).I have tried to removed the firewall entry and then add it back in, and completely remove all uTorrent-related files from the computer and reinstall, but the problem persists.uTorrent is the only program I've had this problem with, ever; and it's been going on for several versions, but it wasn't like this in the beginning, if I remember correctly.Any input which could solve this problem would be appreciated.

macuser Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 I have the same issue but it only asks me once to accept incoming connections. It's getting annoying. Sorry not to be able to help you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macuser2 Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 Not showing the sidebar avoids one firewall permission request. Strangely, once uTorrent is running you can show/not show the sidebar all you want, but no permission request is prompted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
princess_thetis Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 I know this is late but it's just started happening to me. I've tried everything. Deleting and reinstalling but it still pops up and it has it in my firewall as allow incoming connections. I don't get it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vadimt Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 Looks like FW issue. For correct work of uTorrent you need to add exception for it into you FW settings.Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
princess_thetis Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 It is in my firewall settings and I have allowed incoming connection but it's still happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kotekzot Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 have you set it to use random ports? try picking a port and sticking to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
princess_thetis Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 no i dont use random ports. im using it now and i can download torrents fine, it's just annoying that my firewall asks for permission every time i open it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acc2010 Posted September 24, 2012 Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 I can confirm the same problem as reported before. Version: 1.7.7.None of the solutions suggested in previous posts help: (1) ports are not randomized to start with; (2) uTorrent is already added to Mac Firewall with the option "Allow incoming connections" turned on.Yet the problem persists: every time I turn on uTorrent the system asks if to allow incoming connections. Complete reinstall of uTorrent did not help either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
