Randolph32 Posted July 20, 2014 Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 Hi, same issue, this just started also. Deleted and Re-installed software to no avail....but on occasion all of a sudden a notification balloon will tell me of a Successful Download.

Harold Feit Posted July 20, 2014 Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 McAfee is known to cause major issues with BitTorrent clients (up to and including bluescreening your computer with their network hook driver) and isn't recommended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmckeen Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 i'm finding the same problem. Haven't used bittorrent in a while but now the new seeds are sitting there with 'finding peers 0.0%' I'm using Norton Anitvirus and Comcast so I suspect something is blocking it. Any suggestions what to look for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xue-qi Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 Hey, so sorry I did not read your previous post. I use Symantec Endpoint; I don't know what proxy setting it, default perhaps (I didn't change any settings) I tried uploading an image but couldn't (this image will tell you about the trackerhttps://fbcdn-sphotos-b-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xfp1/t31.0-8/p417x417/10550046_10152219873225723_2067476596701044710_o.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold Feit Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 It definitely looks like symantec endpoint (or something else on the system) is actively blocking things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MediaMan001 Posted August 16, 2014 Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 Wow, thanks. 3 days and I finally have something to go on cause I have the same problem. It just happend one day. It definitely looks like symantec endpoint (or something else on the system) is actively blocking things. What could "something else" be? Slackware doesn't work. Glastnost test came back OK. I guess the first thing I'll do is "go naked" with all the settings and turn off AVG, Peerblock and the firewall. Beyond that I'm lost. Any Help is appreciated.

Damn, u'r right! Disabbled just that and all is fine. I'll try an HTTP proxy later and see how it goes. Thank you very much. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold Feit Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 Actually, http proxies won't help you with the traffic either. socks5 at least has the remote potential of supporting UDP traffic. HTTP proxies do not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HTTP proxies do not. H, what will work? What's the best way to use a proxy or to mask my IP? I figured I'd try it out b4 I spend money on a service that may or moy NOT work. I don't torrent a lot but do have my spurts and have revieved one of those threating "letters" in the past. Have a great Sunday. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
