I recently had Avast 4.8 Home Edition installed on my laptop and since then I can't download torrents. Bitlord just continually says connecting...nothing is downloading.

Any ideas as to what I can do? I've tried disabling Avast and then tried downloading but that doesn't work either...:bang

Maybe try reinstalling either or both, I'd try the Bitorrent client first.

Make sure the port is open on Windows.

Also make sure your AV client is allowing that program to pass through your AV protection.

How do I know if a port is open?

Usually when you install something after you install something like AVG AVG or the Windows firewall will ask if you want to allow the program to access the internet.

Oh yes, BitLord is listed as an exception on my Windows firewall already.

Did you reinstall it yet?

Even if you disable an AV program, it will retain the internal firewall settings, unless you completely uninstall it.

You need to make sure Avast has a setting that allows bittorrent to pass through.

I'm sorry I'm not good at this stuff at all...what you guys are saying is that I should uninstall BitLord and reinstall it and see if that works?

I would try another torrent program and perhaps a different anti-virus to check for compatibility issues.

If you have an infection you will be all night wasting your time. Just because you have Avast doesn't mean you don't have any Trojans you need to do a boot up scan.

remember Avast doesn't look for spy ware you need to seek that shit out. All it takes is one spy ware infection and your pc will run like shit!

Have tried going into control panel and create a new user don't copy files and download bit lord again?
