Quicktime Show Notes
- If you've installed uTorrent, open up your Windows Control Panel.
- Click on Start and then on Control Panel.
- In Control Panel, click on System and Security.
- Now click on Firewall.
- If you click on the section that will allow you to add exceptions, you'll see that uTorrent has been added automatically.
- This is true for Window 7, Vista and XP.
- Some other firewall clients may require you to go in and allow the torrent client's port.
- For the most part, no change is needed to the firewall to do torrent transfers.
- In some cases, you may need to turn on Port Forwarding in your router, which we discussed in the previous segment.
