AKICILJ: McAfee Total Protection vs. BitTorrent
I assume it's the settings in McAfee that are causing the problem. I went into the firewall section and added BitTornado to the list of programs that are allowed access to the Internet. But I assume there's some magical port-related thing that needs to be fixed as well. I'd really rather not turn the firewall off altogether, since I think having it is a generally fine idea. But assuming I'm not breaking things by torrenting (and assuming the files I'm torrenting are clean), what do I need to do to make a torrent-sized hole in the firewall?
Help?
ETA: I turned off the firewall temporarily, and started up BitTornado again. Same result. So it's not simply the firewall. But it has to be something in the protection suite.
ETA later: Fixed. Disabling UPnP forwarding in BitTornado solved the problem.
