Torrenting

Hey,

Thing is, ESET doesn't allow me to use torrents. It doesn't allow uTorrent to connect to the tracker, and only if I disable the firewall does it connect.

I have set the firewall to "interactive" mode, and it once asked me for outgoing connections, but it hasn't done so for incoming connections.

Could anyone help me out with the definition of port ranges on this?

Open the user interface (GUI) . Enter the Advanced Setup Tree (F5)

1. Navigate to Personal Firewall. Choose Interactive Mode

2. Navigate to Personal Firewall -> IDS and Advanced options
Make sure all services are allowed (a.k.a 5 options)

3. In Personal firewall -> IDS and advanced options , enabled logging . Press OK.


Then, open Personal firewall > Rules and zones > Zone and rule setup
Choose "Toggle detailed view of all riles" (if already not set to this)
Uncheck every rule that has in the name Block. Press Apply button now. Confirm with OK.

Start creating new rule (use the button called "New")


Name : your choice
Direction : Both
Action : Allow
Protocol : TCP & UDP

Additional action:
check Log


In Local tab - use the "Browse" button to point ESS to UTorrent's exe file
In Remote tab - do not touch here .

Confirm with OK . Press Apply butoon .Try again.

This rule should make sure that all the communication for Utorrent (both incoming and outgoing) is allowed

 

I did what u mentioned, and now I can connect to other computers, but I don't get any connections from uTorrent! Do you know what could be the reason? I followed everything u put!

 

oh sorry, nw its working properly! THX A LOT HighTec Boy!

 

what did you change to make it work properly then?

 

You are welcome ! Please , note -> HiTech_boy , not what you wrote

 

whoops my bad, i wrote it in a hurry!

 

I also get error message using utorrnet - no incoming conections. I have set a rule

allow utorrent
in
allow
tcp& Udp
Local port 58299
App:utorrent exe

Ideas??

Maybe you have some rule above which block incoming connections?...I don't know how ESS handle rules and did order of rules have impact (not clearly answered yet).

You can try this:

1. Direction: In
Action: Allow
Protocol: TCP & UDP
Local port: uTorrent listening port (which you can set in uTorrent preferences)
App:utorrent exe

2. Direction: Out
Action: Allow
Protocol: TCP
Local port: 1024-5000
Remote port: 80 (you can add some tracker ports if you know which)
App:utorrent exe

3. Direction: Out
Action: Allow
Protocol: TCP & UDP
Local port: 1024-5000
Remote port: 1024-65535
App:utorrent exe

4. Direction: Both
Action: Block
Protocol: TCP & UDP
App:utorrent exe

 

ok,will try
