Torrent / BitTorrent Issues OS X El Captain

[Aussie_Chris]

G'day Since I updated to OS X El Captain last week I have been unable to use UTorrent or BitTorrent. The window fails to open for it unless I force it using the shortcut keys. It seems that it has no incoming connections. It is authorised on the firewall and I have tried it also by removing Avast but again still no incoming connections. Does anyone else have the same issue and any fixes. Is it the OS X or my ISP?

I can't answer your questions but I can recommend switching from those programs to Transmission.
It works fine with El Capitan.

Hi I couldn't get transmission to work either. It as if there is no external connections

Have you forwarded a port? Check in Preferences under Network if it shows Port is open.

 

[Aussie_Chris]

Nothing is listed under network stating port is open.

I'm having the exact same issue on the Macbook Air as well that we updated to EL Captain

Then its either your network or additional software that you use.

Switch to transmission. Use appleaner to find and delete the utorrent app. Install transmission. Worked for me. But the latest version of utorrent works too, except for the damn ads. For me, its gone.

I just used Transmission a day or two ago. Worked the same as it did under Yosemite.

Hope you're able to get this sorted out!

Thanks for you help guys I had to delete all traces of the torrent files from bit torrent and utorrent. Once the files were erased i was able to launch transmission and utilise this
