uTorrent problem

Jimmy1983 · 30 Sep 2008 at 20:21

Every time I open uTorrent after about 30 seconds or so web pages dont load in firefox for me, they just hang and dont refresh or go to a new page. Anyone have any idea why this is?

It was set at 200, I tried 50 and then 2 and still having the problem. Had to restart my PC to get the net working again :confused:

Are you using a router?

Jimmy1983 · 30 Sep 2008 at 21:28

Yup, netgear wireless one.

Ive had uTorrent working fine before, but ive just done a re-install off the OS and now having trouble.

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.

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.

Thanks mate, what OS you running? What version of nod and FF aswell?

Adam18290 · 1 Oct 2008 at 18:04

Erm, this was a long time ago - could have been on xp or vista I dunno. Firefox - must have been the latest at that time. nod32 - not the free 1.

Jimmy1983 · 1 Oct 2008 at 18:24

Thanks mate, it worked. Now I have to try to figure out why uTorrent isnt downloading again! I think I had a play around with nod before and might have changed a setting which is why nothing is downloading now. Although cant remember what I changed.
