Issue with Utorrent

[JasonKaplan]

Whenever I download something with utorrent, malwarebytes keeps on blocking the connection to the trackers, so naturally my download speed goes down. Even after excluding the process, utorrent.exe, malwarebytes still blocks all connections related to utorrent.

Excluding the process should work. Are you sure you're excluding the right copy of utorrent.exe?

Hi to both of you:

 

Actually, adding the entire P2P process to the web exclusions may not be the best idea, from a safety standpoint.

While the frequent IP blocks (and the notifications thereof) are a bit annoying, they merely indicate that MBAM is doing its job protecting you from potentially harmful content on malicious IPs.

They should have no impact on your P2P performance.

MBAM is not blocking "all connections", merely those to dodgy IPs on the P2P network.

 

Also, the ability to disable those IP notifications will be provided in a future program release.

Currently, there is no way to disable those blocks without disabling all MBAM program notifications.

 

The staff will likely have some additional information about this.

 

Thanks,
