I'd rather not have to use vuze, it is FAR to commercial for my tastes and I vastly prefer the utorrent interface. I recently updated spybot and then had to remove the stupid proxy it now comes with but utorrent worked with pirate bay after that so that's not it. I use avast as my antivirus, and have been for a while.
So I did what drpepper did, I tried vuze, and the torrents work just fine using vuze, no problems at all.īecause I know people will ask (although I know it doesn't matter because it works with vuze just fine) I'm running windows 7 64bit ultimate, and have been for awhile.

I would much appreciate to hear what the issue is and what the fix or workaround is as uTorrent is by far my favorite and I would much appreciate and prefer to stay with it. So after about 2 wks of this and thinking the problem is/was with piratebay alone or alone today I decided to try vuze, which worked, and also noticing that the piratebay indexes showed new and continuing uploads from members and no chatter about interrupts or blocks or downed servers or downright major stoppages or total disruption.

What brings me here today is that I've been using uTorrent for a few years and suddenly after having heard about 2 wks or so ago about piratebay being hit with denial of service (ddos) attacks and blocking attacks, sure enough I began to have problems with the site with downloads from/thru them with my usual and fave bittorent client uTorrent and have continued in this state since.
