too many global connections open in utorrent, lower your connection type in speed guide
ive had the same problem for a while, even if you close Utorrent it still happens. however if you click a link enough times it will work its very strange. i too have to reboot to get it working again. It applies to Opera and IE as well and even if there are no packets being sent or received same problem. Not 30 seconds for me though usually between 15 and 30 minutes. I don't use Utorrent a lot so doesn't bother me too much.
Also Netgear router.
Yup, netgear wireless one.
Ive had uTorrent working fine before, but ive just done a re-install off the OS and now having trouble.
Are u using Windows XP? If you are it could be due to the maximum tcp/ip connection settings under XP.
Are you using nod32? also which browser?
Just seen mozilla^ - I used to get this issue too - if your using nod32 then I think I have your solution.
Running the latest version of nod, and yes FF. Any way I can use nod and utorrent?
