Problem with utorrent and AVAST

<< < (2/8) > >>

Al_Sleeper:
Since Windows 8 is specifically designed for touchscreen devices, it is pretty pointless to use it on desktop and laptop systems in its current state.

Southrop:
Windows 8 does have some serious performance benefits compared to Windows 7. It works fine on non-touch devices (but obviously is easier to use on touch screens).

Which are downplayed by its issues with stability in its current unpolished state.

Bob2004:
Just to confirm, there are absolutely no issues with Avast in Windows 7 or earlier. It's only Windows 8 causing problems with certain software - as Al_Sleeper says, it is still somewhat buggy and unpolished. And since Avast is such a good AV, it'd be a shame to have to compromise your security by switching to a different solution.

EDIT: You might also try disabling only Avast's P2P shield, and see if that solves the problem as a temporary workaround. I would advise against leaving it turned off as a long-term solution, though, since it's a very useful security measure to have if you download a lot of torrents (especially ones from less trustworthy sources than here).

rlecastro07:
It's the Network shield of avast that is blocking the connection to bakabt tracker.

My question is why trackers of torrents from other websites are working fine and only bakabt tracker is blocked by avast? Is it because it's private?
