Zonealarm vs Bittornado? combo freezes my comp. |
 |
Sup,
since I've downloaded & installed 'Zonealarm security suite 6.1' my bittorrent client, 'bittornado' freezes up on downloads from sites like mininova, isohunt. It seems like it works for 5 minutes before, computer fan starts kicking in and cpu usage hits over 50%. I bet this has something to do with my firewall settings, but don't know how to set this up so my comp. isn't easily accesible to hackers etc while being able to share from my comp.
Does anyone know what port bittornado uses, and how I can set zonealarm up to allow traffic through this port? (in the 'program control' settings I've already set bittornado up as 'trusted')
any help is greatly appreciated!

As I wrote before: the firewall of SP2 should suffice for normal usage. Unless your computer is a wanted one, it should be enough. That, in combination with Azureus (yes, it's java-based, but it works brilliantly and way better than any other client I've tried) and proper port mapping in my router works like a charm. I've tried multiple firewalls, and I all hated them for asking me what I wanted to do for each and every action. The Windows firewall simply asks to block or give access per program. Fair enough: that's the only thing I want my firewall to do anyway. |

You can tell Zonealarm not to pop up and simply choose block or allow like MS firewall. |
