My Utorrent 1.8 stopped downloading?

Question

I have had utorrent for years now and have upgraded it a lot.

I just upgraded to 1.8 and my torrents have stopped downloading...

I have tried downloading from different sites, differents torrents, all have the little red arrow

Nothing is happening

somethings wrong with the tracker but i don't know how to fix it

Tracker Status: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.

What does that mean? and how do i fix it?

Answer 1

Don't use utorrent it gives you really really bad viruses

Answer 2

I'm not being funny but why did you change from 1.7.7 if it was working ok?

Personally I think it is because there could be traces of the old one left behind or that you haven't created an exception in your firewall.

Try uninstalling it and then install http://ccleaner.com and run the Cleaner scan and remove all it finds

Run the Registry scan and fix all issues but repeat this until nothing is detected.

Run this daily anyway.

When you've done this reinstall µtorrent and it should be fine. I would stick to 1.7.7 as it's working fine so why change it.
