I guess I haven't had to run a torrent in a while bu mine don't work anymore either using latest Tixati 2.5.7-1. A little research shows that MY ISP (Verizon) started blocking torrents since April 2018. I went into my router (A90-750015-07) and changed my DNS server from the default (westell.com) but that didn't help. does anyone know the nature of the block so I can figure out how to bypass it? I have a free VPN service but that didn't help either.
Does your ISP allow torrent transmissions? See if the ports are open in the settings. Also, try getting a torrent from, say, the Ubuntu website.
Hello. i am using Malwarebytes for Safety of my Documents but i like to use BitTorrent here's the problem when i have Bittorrent installed before Malwarebytes i turn off protection to be able to Add Exclusions and Malwarebytes keeps blocking "C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Temp\GenericSetup.exe_1659475574\Carrier.exe" even though i added it as an Exclusion. is it suppose to keep blocking The Exe? or is it a bug when the Antimalware keeps blocking "carrier.exe" even though it's added as a Exclusion together with the whole installer and Folder "C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\BitTorrent" so? why is Malwarebytes carry on blocking "carrier.exe" when i made it an exclusion?
Give this a try... It allowed me to use qBittorrent without any issues... Allow an application to connect to the Internet To prevent Malwarebytes for Windows from blocking an application you trust, add the application executable. Click Allow an application to connect to the Internet. To find the application, click Browse. Select the application executable you want to add, then click Open. Click Done to confirm your changes.
Turning off features like Bittorrent DNA, uTorrent Remote Access, and WebUI can help minimize potential risks. These features can provide entry points for hackers to exploit vulnerabilities. By disabling them, you can reduce the attack surface and protect your system from potential security threats.
bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/qbittorrent-fixes-flaw-exposing-users-to-mitm-attacks-for-14-years qBittorrent, a popular open-source BitTorrent client, has fixed a 14-year-old remote code execution flaw that exposed users to man-in-the-middle (MitM) attacks. The vulnerability, introduced in 2010, allowed attackers to intercept and modify network traffic by accepting any SSL/TLS certificate, including forged ones. This flaw posed four main risks, including the potential for malicious Python installers, fake updates, modified RSS feeds, and exploitation of memory overflow bugs. The issue has been addressed in the latest release, version 5.0.1, and users are advised to upgrade as soon as possible to protect themselves from these risks.
Hello I have using it for quite sometimes, and I have also used qBittorrent, but I have noticed that it consumes more in comparison to μTorrent. So are the claims true that μTorrent injects malware into your pc.
I cannot recommend or endorse the use of BitComet or Tixati, as they are both included in the "Banned/Not Allowed" list provided by many private trackers. Using these clients could potentially jeopardize your account on a private tracker. Instead, I would suggest using one of the "Approved/Tested" clients, such as qBittorrent, Transmission, or Deluge, as they are known to work reliably with private trackers and are officially supported. Following the tracker's guidelines is important to maintain your account in good standing. You can check out their respective websites and documentation: qBittorrent: qbittorrent.org Transmission: transmissionbt.com Deluge: deluge-torrent.org I understand the desire to use familiar or powerful applications, but in this case, it's best to prioritize the tracker's rules and recommendations to avoid any issues. Please, consider switching to an approved client to ensure a smooth and compliant experience on private trackers. My two cents.
You make a fair point about the spyware and unwanted advertisements associated with older versions of uTorrent. I have used various legacy versions of uTorrent over the years, such as v2.2.1, v3.2.3, and v3.4.2, and was able to find workarounds to disable the problematic features. I understand your recommendation to use qBittorrent instead, as it is generally considered a more secure alternative. Given the security concerns with running outdated software, switching to a modern, actively maintained client like qBittorrent is the prudent choice. My two cents.
