MonogomousProstitute Posted July 17, 2014 Report Posted July 17, 2014 I've been reading into similar forum posts and none have been particularly helpful to me. I have been able to download torrents just fine at my current location for the past few days. Suddenly, without me changing any settings, I am no longer able to do so. I have the free AVAST firewall program. Can anyone walk me through the troubleshooting process for this problem?
Harold Feit Posted July 17, 2014 Report Posted July 17, 2014 What tracker status do you have on the trackers tab for the offending torrents?
MonogomousProstitute Posted July 17, 2014 Author Report Posted July 17, 2014 It says waiting for announcement
MonogomousProstitute Posted July 17, 2014 Author Report Posted July 17, 2014 Is that what you were looking for? I wanted to take a screenshot, but I couldn't figure out how to add a picture to my post.
Harold Feit Posted July 17, 2014 Report Posted July 17, 2014 No it's not actually. I want the complete list. If you can't attach the screenshot directly, upload it to an image hosting site like imageshack and link it.
Harold Feit Posted July 17, 2014 Report Posted July 17, 2014 What internet security software do you have installed? Are you using proxy settings?
MonogomousProstitute Posted July 17, 2014 Author Report Posted July 17, 2014 Avast free version. And according to a proxy test I just did by Lagado.com, I am not using proxy settings. I'm not very computer savvy, though so I don't know for sure what this means.
Harold Feit Posted July 17, 2014 Report Posted July 17, 2014 The system's proxy settings aren't used. Check preferences - connection.
Harold Feit Posted July 17, 2014 Report Posted July 17, 2014 My bet right now is on something in avast blocking. Their P2P shield is actually known to cause issues.
MonogomousProstitute Posted July 17, 2014 Author Report Posted July 17, 2014 Okay thanks. I'll check out the program. Any suggestions on where to look in there?
