No Solution for "connecting to peers" problem

[southbay408]

Hello uTorrent Community,

 

I was wondering if there is a guaranteed solution that anyone has located for the "connecting to peers" problem that occurs. It seems to a pretty popular problem but no sufficient solution seems to be offered. There is no perfect fix. I've tried many proposed solutions and still cannot download any content. Has anyone experienced this and solved the problem??? Please Help

I had this problem for weeks the solution is to:-

1 Click OPTIONS.

 

2 PREFERENCES

 

3 UI SETTINGS

 

4 UNTICK ---"When adding torrents download automatically"

 

Problem fixed!!!

 

Hope that this works for you.

I've been having the same issue off and on for the last few weeks, and now it seems to be stuck at Connecting to Peers with various Connection Timed Out messages. I have tried the tip above, as well as a few other suggestions, with nothing working.

 

What I have:

Windows 8.1

utorrent 3.4.2 (build 35702) 32-bit

ISP is CenturyLink

 

I have been using TorGuard Proxy service for some time with no problems.

 

Recently I upgraded my MalwareBytes to Premium, and I initially suspected that MalwareBytes was blocking uTorrent activity, so I added the utorrent (app/roaming) process and torguard into the Process Exceptions on MB. Sometimes my torrents would work like normal, and other times they would sit for a day or two trying to connect. Now they're stuck all the time. Help please!

4 UNTICK ---"When adding torrents download automatically"

 

My tick box says "Don't start the download automatically"

So should I have that ticked or not?
