Was downloading Now not downloading.

[ozgecho]

I was downloading this file last night fine. Only had a couple of hours to go when I shut my machine down and then went to continue tonight and it just sits there. No idea at all. I could spend hours going through all the threads but as this is not something I do all the time I thought I could rely on someone who is alot more knowledgable about this than I am to help by either telling me what is wrong or pointing me in the right direction of where I can find the info. Am I able to attach a screen shot to a message.

Thanks

This is the screenshot but I can't seem to get it to display. Would be alot easier if you could just attach a pic like you can in email. It says you don't have to register but can you explain the steps as simple as they may be to be able to display the screenshot.

Thanks

What internet security software do you have installed?

[ozgecho]

I am running McAfee. It is just what came with the laptop. It expires in about a week. I haven't changed anything with my virus scanner or anything else that I know of. Its odd how it just stopped working.

I think Im having the same issue. I downloaded a few movies the other day with no problems but now I cant get any peers or seeds. Idk what to do, im pretty new to this.

You're using a proxy and it doesn't work.

[terri_twitter]

ok and whats that supposed to mean? How do I fix it?

[moogly]

Preferences > Connection: be sure you didn't enter a proxy.

And are you behind a proxy?

[terri_twitter]

no i wasnt using a proxy but then i put 1 in and it started working BUT only sometimes and got like 3 or 4 errors and had to recheck before it finally finished.

[terri_twitter]

and now its not working with the proxy at all.

I had another thought. I remembered I had set port forwarding up in my router so the port number was different to utorrent. I put the new port number into the port forwarding area. I also checked to see that the firewall exception was ticked and checked the windows firewall also had the exception in its list as well. So after finding these things weren't set up I thought I had found something but it still isn't communitcating so still needing someone's help.

[Can you please have another look at my issues. I supplied some more info but still no luck in getting utorrent to work.

FOUND THE PROBLEM

I turned off the windows firewall and still wouldn't connect.

I turned off the McAfee firewall and it all reconnected virtually straight away.

Not sure why this happened. Have had a look in McAfee but so far haven't seen how to configure McAfee to pass stuff through for Utorrent.

uTorrent was working fine for me and then last week McAfee did a 'program' update after which when I tried to use uTorrent it would flash on and off. I downloaded the 3.0 beta and I had to end up turning off the firewall in McAfee and it worked ok. When I first started uT3 I allowed full acces in McAfee but it did not work. I tried again a couple of days later and uT worked ok but now it is back to the flashing screen, even though I have just managed a download. Anyone have any idea of what McAfee may have done in the last upgrade???
