dj478 Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 It would stay like this forever (on connecting to peers)...also there is one tracker that is timed out. Notice the GREEN arrow at the bottom corner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 What internet security software are you using? Are you using proxy settings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dj478 Posted January 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 This is a tough one. I'm using AVG...this occured like a thief in the night...it used to work perfectly for years, no problems. Then one day I noticed that it stuck on loading the torrent preview and then went on to stick on connecting to peers. My computer is in a safe room where I am pretty sure that no one could have tampered with it and the utorrent settings. I changed my router from a Zhone to a Comtrend. This did not solve the problem. I have my firewall (windows) turned completely off. I have no added firewall programs. This did not solve the problem either. I disabled AVG and tried it again, this did not work. I began to experiment with the port forwarding. Still no success. When I run the utorrent diagnostics it says that the port is open, as evidenced by the green tick. I am not using proxy settings. I use auto-detect and the web browsing works fine. I do not use a static IP. I contacted my ISP who said that it was probably the firewall. The firewall was the first thing I disabled and checked so here I am at utorrent itself searching for a solution. I don't know if this might help but I also noticed that my MMORPG's stopped connecting to their servers around the same time I began experiencing this problem.

dj478 Posted February 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 Ok. This is now resolved. I did not know that modems have firewalls built into their mini-operating system. This was the case with my setup. This is a wonderful guide to anyone eperiencing this problem as well. If your utorrent is not connecting to the port on your router, it's due to a firewall. If you have your windows firewall turned off as well as your anti-virus firewall and other third party firewalls, and it's still not connecting, check your modem. Most modern modems have a firewall built into them. Reset the modem and you will be back online in no time (there is a reset button on most modems, press it). The default setting for most modems is firewall off. However, if the default for your modem is firewall on, just log into it and set it to 'off'.

PiusX Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 Same as my other reply by default my Router firewall doesn't block my utorrent program from working. The only way this would happen if you changed something in the firewall settings to block utorrent from working. As you can see your reply is so general no one know what Router your talking about to begin to address the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
