thanks. pretty new to torrent stuff. i will try and figure out this ports business. On a home machine. I guess it could be affected by antivurus as well?
cheers
Anti-virus has nothing to do with networking, i.e. ports or apps being blocked from Internet access etc. It is purely filesystem scanning.
However, if you're using a security suite of sorts, then the firewall portion could likely be an issue.
Don't mix anti-virus with firewalls, two very different things.
