Greg_s Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 Hello,Ever since downloading SP1 for Windows 7 64bit ultimate I have been unable to download torrents. I get the error "an attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions"I am running uTorrent as administrator and I also cannot download torrents from other downloader's.I have changed my firewall and made sure that there are acceptations on there for uTorrent.I have tried this with a number of different torrents and the file name is short enough.If anyone would be able to suggest a fix that would be great.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg_s Posted May 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 Hi,Iv already tried with BD un-installed it still didnt fix it.Something is blocking torrents from connecting and I cant figure out what. As far as i can find its not the AV or firewall.Are there any settings that i should apply to BD now its on? asides from 'allowing' utorrent?
