Hi..I installed EIS today..was really happy with it till i started my torrent client..Trackers were not connecting..I opened all the ports in the settings but still 1 or 2 trackers connected then after few mins they went offline..
Hence I need experts help in configuring the OA for p2p.

Any help is really appreciated
Thank You

Did it also happens when u download other different torrent files from different torrent sites?

I was trying different clients and different torrents ..some are fine(max trackers connected) .some are worst(no trackers connected)
Tried with utorrent, bitcomt and bittorrent.
I am getting " tracker reply has no peer field"

i dont think i messed it up..when i started torrent client..trackers said connection timeout..that means no incoming or outgoing..but after i changed few settings i downloaded a torrent successfully..later added another torrent and i was getting this error " tracker reply has no peer field".. torrents downloads at very low speed and only 1 tracker keeps working

the torrent file which u downloading have good amount of seeds? if not then that's the reason or the trackers health are low & expired that's why some torrents are working & some not. Also try to update ur torrent clients if it's outdated. If u see any pop up from Emsisoft that it blocked connections or something like that when u try to download torrents then Emsisoft is the reason.

seeders are 20k and leechers are around 8k...health looks fine to me..anyways will keep observing..weird!

I have never seen any third-party firewalls that will work good with downloading torrents, they all will impose limitations.

It is best to temporary disable third-party firewall when downloading torrents and only use Windows Firewall which will not have any limits.

Thanks. :D

Dear friend, but it's got to have in order to protect you from the malware. If you like (maybe you're just in love into them) these torrents, you have to uninstall it out and that's okay - this what you don't know, this doesn't exist. No Armor - no viruses.

Hi Littlebits!
Comodo does not have this issue!
You can download and seed without any issues!
Thanks:)

It still will slow down your connection speed since all traffic has to go through their filter driver.
Try downloading and seeding torrents with Comodo disabled and Windows Firewall enabled and you will see.

Comodo might not block torrent traffic compared to other firewalls if you manually tweak it but you will still sacrifice some speed.

Thanks. :D
