disable worm protection then, or use a proper AV product.

Norton sucks big time. Used to be alright in 2001 when it was a basic and you could get another year free by selecting the you have already paid for your subscription option! it never asked for proof so you would get another year out of it  thick bastards

i use uTorrent and get shit speeds, like 5kb/s and im on the BT up to 8mb broadband. So do you reckon if i opened ports on router and my AV it will be full speed?

yeh thats true kurt but most people who actualy use torrents have an idea about that stuff. well thats if people havnt been teaching amatures how to download "mp3's"
I refuse to tell some people how to use programs such as utorrent because i always get the questions afterwards with how do you download things then and asking wich one they should download  my patience is low and im a nasty bastard arent i?  lol

Naa it's banned from all reputable sites because you can cheat using it very easily, which is totally against the point of torrents.
