Hello guys as most of you know when it comes to computers i'm not the sharpest tool in the box.

I recently purchased norton 2007 and I have just started to use utorrent again and now I don't get any upload speed at all? Downloads are fine but uploads just don't exist anymore.

I've tried turnning the firewall off, this had no success and I looked at the port forwarding and its all setup correctly aprt from the it says the port isn't open?

So i think its norton that is stopping the port from forwarding, what i wanna know is can you help me fix this? or even better how do you turn norton off? as there not a close program button in site!

Hi mate, have a look here for all things ports etc

http://www.portforward.com/default.htm you probs find the ports and requirments for that particular program

Some isp`s in the uk actively block common peer to peer ports, think this is done behind the scenes and is not officailly published. Personally i think norton, although good is too much of a system hog, if you use a router and that has a firewall built in it will be miles better than any software firewall like norton, and it will be more configurable too

Hi mate, thanks for the reply i've used all the settings on that site and have it all set as the state to do so, So it must be norton, do you know how to switch it off?

Hey

Go to 'Personal Firewall' under 'Web Browsing' and select 'Configure'

Select 'Program Control' and then select utorrent and make sure it says 'allow'

daft question but have you checked the number of seeds and peers. if theres loads of seed and not many peers you may not be up loading as your info isnt needed.
happened to me a few times and its always been on torrents with huge numbers of seeds and very few peers.
try a torrent with a low seed high peer ratio and see if that affects anything.
i cant help you with norton as i stopped using it years ago as its really not very good compared to the price you pay, and it s high on system resources. if you can get your money back on norton or change it for something else i would do it and use one of the free anti virus out there like avg.

one more thing i forgot to put in. in utorrent can you see both local and remote connections.
some clients will say local and remote some may just have an l and r.
if you only see local then your port forwarding is nt working correctly if you see both then port forwarding has worked.
