kh45 Posted September 16, 2012 Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 I never had any trouble with uTorrent unitl today. In the middle of downloading a file suddenly both the download and upload speed went to 0 kb/s, and when I started adding new torrents that I knew had to work because they had many seeds, they wouldn't go past 0 either. I ended up uninstalling and then re-installing uTorrent and that seemed to do the trick as the torrents all started working again. However, about 8 hours later it started doing the same thing, so I tried to once again uninstall and re-install but this time it had no effect. So eventually I just downloaded BitTorrent and the same torrent started working in that program. But I really prefer uTorrent and want to keep using it, plus now I feel eventually the same thing is going to happen to my BitTorrent. Is it possible my computer has some sort of virus? I'm not very tech saavy but if it helps I'm running on Windows 7 64-bit. Any help would be greatly appreciated thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreadWingKnight Posted September 16, 2012 Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 It's probably still on your machine and interfering then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kh45 Posted September 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 but why would it suddenly start doing that today when it's never done that before for over a year? and how come it's only interfering with uTorrent but not BitTorrent?

DreadWingKnight Posted September 16, 2012 Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 Because of any multitude of reasons that may include the fact that new rules got generated for bittorrent that tell mcafee to not block.Regardless, if it's still installed, uninstall it even if the trial is expired. It's only going to cause you more problems down the road even if it's not the cause of this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
