Blitzkrieg Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 (edited) I'm using utorrent to download and even though i have the port opened on my router, and the program unblocked on windows firewall, Utorrent says that the port isn't open.... I don't know what to do. Any ideas? Edited June 4, 2010 by Blitzkrieg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linoleum Knive Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 Close Utorrent. Honestly. Last time I tried to get a port open for Utorrent, I fried my router. Not sure how, and I know i was younger, but I havent been back since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Love Lamp Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 Does it require UDP and TCP to be open? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blitzkrieg Posted June 4, 2010 Author Share Posted June 4, 2010 Yeah, there was a post on the utorrent forums from a moderator that had tips for the new version (2.0.2) and it said to make sure both TCP and UDP were open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackEyes Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 my friend had this problem and I had him go to.. Start > Run > msconfig [hit enter] uncheck everything related to Norton in both the Startup and the Services, reboot.. and sure enough.. port's open now. of course if you can't live without any AV software, then you're SOL i think.. Maybe it's your anti-virus? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RetiredTacos Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 It's probably being blocked by windows firewall or a 3rd party software (norton,mcafee UGH) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kold Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 I found that once I enabled the UPnP for MW2, the port was open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blitzkrieg Posted June 4, 2010 Author Share Posted June 4, 2010 My firewall has it enabled. And the only things checked on my startup list are my keyboard and mouse drivers and java. -Edit: I don't have any anti virus programs that are always running, never liked how they take over your computer. I only have the ones that i use to get rid of viruses when i'm stupid enough to get them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blitzkrieg Posted June 4, 2010 Author Share Posted June 4, 2010 Switch that POS firewall off and test again. lol. Wow... yeah, that did it, "Your port is open". Windows firewall fails again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingless Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 Wow... yeah, that did it, "Your port is open". Windows firewall fails again. I lol'd pretty hard. My guess is there is some associated port along with the ones you've allowed that it's not noticing enough to prompt you for. For where I need a (software) firewall, I usually go Zonealarm free. It's treated me pretty well over the years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blitzkrieg Posted June 4, 2010 Author Share Posted June 4, 2010 (edited) So should i just leave windows one off and download the one you suggested? If not, how could i get Windows Firewall to stop being retarded? -Edit: Downloading ZoneAlarm Free right now, nevermind =D -Edit2: Still only getting 20 seeds out of 1400 =\ Edited June 4, 2010 by Blitzkrieg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again, I run ZA at home, use Bittorrent (older version, probably different setup than uTorrent) and have zero problems after I allow the app. You have the ports punched and forwarded on your router, right? Sometimes you need to try that if UPnP isn't working properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blitzkrieg Posted June 4, 2010 Author Share Posted June 4, 2010 (edited) Yeah i have the port forwarded on my router, but i'm going to have to mess around with windows firewall. And all the previous versions of Utorrent have worked for me, but when they released 2.0.2, this happened. -Edit: Even with Utorrent enabled, the new firewall you suggested (forget the name already) also blocked the ports. Just gonna go naked with the firewall while im downloading i suppose until they patch it or i can fix windows firewall. Thanks for your help Wingless!
