vlopes Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 Hi everyone,Have a problem since last Monday (12-02-2015), I'm running windows vista 32bits, my router is a fritz box.All the sudden, torrent stopped download to my PC any new file from anywhere.I'm still able to upload, but every time I try to get a new torrent, it says: "torrent error, access refused"It looks like there's a firewall issue, I removed the firewall on windows, but it did not worked. I already checked everything I could, I tried on another laptop with windows 7 on the same router and everything is fine, I copied all the parameters from the laptop to the pc but, no results.I'm a torrent user from several years, and this is my first issue ever. Anyone out there could give me a hand?Thank's a lot in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 Security properties on your downloads folder are not letting you write to the location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vlopes Posted February 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 Hello again,thank's for the feed back.Should I change the location of the downloaded files from Z:\ to another disk on my PC?I did it before, no changes.But I guess you 're telling me something different?Is my "download folder" the one where I place all downloaded files?Would it make a difference if I pre-allocate the files?Tx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 I'm saying you should fix the security properties on the location, not necessarily change it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vlopes Posted February 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 OK,4 things:How on earth did you manage to figure out what was wrong with my folder?How did the folder changed its properties by itself like a thief?The first 3 new downloads were running despite the red icon on bottom right screen saying my connections were not good.Now it's gone & I have the green check icon.Can I pay you a beer?

DreadWingKnight Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 1> The error message you're getting is a blatant tell (Access denied means uTorrent doesn't have write access, usually caused by the security properties on the files or folders) 2> It happens because of NTFS permissions, sometimes they don't play nice 3> http://bt.degreez.net/firewalled.html 4> Probably not in person without a passport.
