just installed zone alarm

all my torrents and p2p have stalled to a halt.
im using bit-torrent, should i go with another torrent client?
or uninstall zone alarm and find a more friendly firewall.

I have the same problem with my Sygate Firewall.
What gives?

gotta go to work , so this will have to do for now:

search google like this:

your WinOS + your firewall name + your p2p program + configure

(without the plusses)

go into program control and set the security setting to med.

programs should ask to connect to the internet..

simple, if it is btdownloadgui.exe, check allow..

it will run then

it will tell you which programs are trying to connect to the net...

or, go into program control, then kinda top right and click the programs tab.. it will display a list of programs that are installed... scroll down to find 'btdownloadgui.exe' and right click on the cross and right click on the check... there should be 2 'btdownloadgui.exe' files listed..

same with the p2p prog.. just say it is winmx for example... scroll down til you see winmx application and right click on the cross and right click on the check....

try it and see how you go..

cant open ports in zone alarm, i have windows firewall turned off.

bittorrentguide is allowed so is ares.
but download is at most 3 (usually hovered near 80), then crashes to 0, ares doesn't even connect.upload stays at 0

everything was working great till i loaded zone alarm.

went in to network and allowed upnp, too. but still nada.

Uninstall and re-install your P2P apps.

Well, Demophobe was right. I re-installed Kazaa++ and so far, so good.
I'll keep you posted.

so, uninstalled everything, but then za wont allow any page with a download available.

it must be something to do with your za settings...

reduce the security... it sounds like it is configured to block everything

run it with basic settings and try to connect then.. you should get a popup telling you that your p2p prog, explorer, a-v and a whole host of stuff is trying to access the net and it should also give you the option of allowing it or not...

good luck

uninstalled za

reinstalled bittornado and ares
same shyte, ares cant connect, torrents are downloading at about 5 and uploading at 0.

time to uninstalls sp2. have a feeling this is where the problem lies.

weird cause everything was running great with sp2 until i downloaded za.

all the za settings were at medium

maybe ill get a new laptop instead.

how much better is dotham? anyone know?

rather than uninstall sp2, uninstall za and try another firewall..

get a demo version and see if it works.. if it's ok, buy it or search for a serial or crack
