hi
i installed an update today which took me to 10.5.8
straight away i couldnt get download any torrents even though i tried 3 different clients to do so.
i tried downloading different torrents but to no avail.
then when i logged out and logged in as a different user i could download on that account.
i have checked all the system preferences and they match up.
the only thing that if different between the account that doesnt work and the one that does is this-
when in transmission on my account i go into preferences then network and it says the port is unavailable.
then the other acc which works it says that the port is busy
why is this?
my firewall settings are exactly the same and im on a new macbook pro which has no other firewalls running.
thanks
