kerokero Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 No torrents are active, and yet, periodically i get HUGE amount of traffic from uTorrent. I can see about 30-40 connections from it in my firewall. Is there a "nice" explanation of this ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kerokero Posted May 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 Its not good-enough explanation.Why is it that all my bandwidth gets clogged so i cant do anything, while no torrents are active anyway ? Sounds pretty sloppy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreadWingKnight Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 Your firewall is being overly paranoid.Your client's information has ended up in the peerlist of several other peers. They are getting around to re-testing you every 30-40 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
