sakinney Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 utorrent 3.4.3 build 39944Windows 7privateinternetaccess socks5 proxyNorton Security Suite I've specified the port named by Norton Security Suite, set utorrent to "Allow" in the Firewall program rules. after a couple of successful downloads, all I get now is "no incoming connections", and downloads stop after about 10 seconds. Set-up guide tests OK, says port open. been through the threads and guides, nothing helps, all out of ideas. Any suggestions or tips to try?

sakinney Posted April 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 is there a test torrent that would be good to use?

DreadWingKnight Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 So one of the following is likely: 1> dead torrent 2> Hostile ISP 3> hostile internet security software on the machine Do torrents from http://www.slackware.com/getslack/torrents.php work or no?

sakinney Posted April 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 Well, that's plain amazing.... download speed 1.2 MB/sseeds 20 of 21 connected 30 in swarm. The "no incoming connections" icon is replaced by a red x "not connectable" icon. with a message advising me to open a port. Please take pity on me, help me through that part.

DreadWingKnight Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 Did you port forward uTorrent's listen port in your router's configuration? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sakinney Posted April 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 no, I took the listen port shown in Norton and entered that into uTorrent in preferences Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 You still have norton installed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sakinney Posted April 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 I restarted it, yes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 UNINSTALL it. Don't just "close" or "stop" it UNINSTALL it. Until you uninstall it (and run its removal utility) you can't be sure it's not blocking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sakinney Posted April 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 If I uninstall it, then I need to reinstall it to do virus protection, correct? I'm uninstalling to do testing with uTorrent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 Microsoft offers Windows Defender for Windows 8 and Microsoft Security Essentials for older versions of windows that do a less invasive job of protecting your system from threats.

sakinney Posted April 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 With Norton Security Suite uninstalled, system restarted. the slackware torrent acted exactly the same with one exception; instead of the red "x", I went back to having the "no incoming connections" icon. The other torrent I was downloading also acted exactly the same way it did when Norton was running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 Then you may need to simply stop choosing dead torrents to download. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
