Azureus NEVER stops!

[StopMyAz]

I thought I would try out Azureus because I heard it was a great program. Well, I heard wrong.

I started to download a torrent, but stopped it to play a game (didn't want to use up my bandwidth to make me lag). Well, when I got into the game, I was lagging bad. I then checked my firewall and since running Azureus, I get 100's of port scans a minute. Its so bad that its slowing my connection down. I tried playing with my Az settings to stop sharing, but that didn't work. I even un-installed the program. Nothing seems to be working. It seems that Az has my ip and they think I have files to share when I don't. Thats the only conclusion I can come to.

Anyone else ever have this problem? Any idea how to stop all the traffic?

I've been running azureus for a long time now. If you close the program completely, you'll have no connections coming in or from azureus. You can even pause transfers and that may work for you. If you have azureus running while trying to game online then you will definitly get problems. Thats my best guess.....now, back to the bowl i just packed!

I properly shut the program down, but I still get the traffic. If I have the program open, it doesn't say anything is being uploaded/downloaded, but I still get the hits showing up on my firewall.

[shawners]

you push alt+cntrl+delete and see if its running in the taskbar.. memory footprint.. what version you using?

[StopMyAz]

I'm using 2.3.0.4

I think the problem is with Azureus, not me. My cable modem is still blinking like mad if I turn off my computer and disconnect my computer from my modem. So its like the servers on azureus think im sharing when im not.

[Stownplayer]

Check your firewall and see what port the incoming requests are trying to connect with. Is the port they are trying to connect to the port azureus is set to use? Processes to look for are azureus.exe and javaw.exe. if all fails just reboot and your problems may be solved. Good luck

[StopMyAz]

Whatever port I tell Az to use, this is the destination port from all the attacks I get. This is how I know its Az and not something else. I've rebooted many times, turned off all power to my computer/modem, nothing works. I've played with all the Az settings, nothing is working. I can't be the only one having this problem.

Well, if your gonna use azureus to it's full potiential then maybe think about opening the port in your firewall. IT's safe to allow traffic to hit azureus on whatever port you have azureus set on. So, azureus is ok, don't unistall it again unless you don't wanna use it. Just open your firewall to accept azureus traffic. Then if azureus slows your connection to a crawl , adjust the bandwitdth that you allow azureus to use, pause all downloads and uploads or simply cut it off.

[StopMyAz]

Well, I normally wouldn't have a problem using the software, but now, I don't want anything to do with it. I want Azureus to stop all attempts to connect to my computer. I am getting slammed here. Just over 27000 attempts already in the past 4 hours! The slow connection I have now is not the result of allowing high bandwidth from uploads. Its the bandwidth used during the process of hitting me. Its like a Dos Attack.

[Stownplayer]

Open task manager, close javaw.exe and azureus.exe
reboot, smoke a joint , pause, see if you are still getting slammed,
pause, scratch head, drink a beer, pause, reboot, turn azureus on, pause, ....
Should i keep going? Just unplug your modem followed by your router if you have one. Then smoke a fatty an ponder the meaning of life.

[StopMyAz]

Nope, not there. Its not my computer. Its Azureus. They think im still connected and sharing. I'm not, so my firewall picks up all the people who are trying to download what I was downloading. Stupid program.

[Stownplayer]

Just disable the distributed database in the options and restart azureus.

[StopMyAz]

Already did that. Still doesn't fix the problem.

Try installing peer guardian it just might block a lot of those annoying IP hits.

Either way, AZ has been awesome for me, works fine every time. Its gotta be your configuration,

because how are you "sharing" things with AZ? Anyways, try this, uninstall it again, run a solid reg

cleaner program (reg mech, tuneup utilities) and then reinstall. Should be fine, if not just piss on your
computer and throw it out the window cause it must be a Dell.

[StopMyAz]

My firewall blocks the IP hits. Blocking them is not the problem, its receiving them thats the problem. I've had over 60,000 hits now. Its insane!

The problem has nothing to do with how the program is setup on my computer. I still get traffic coming in from AZ if I disconnect the computer from the internet. I've uninstalled/re-installed the program several times now. I've played with the settings. I don't know what else I can do.

[soulxtc]

Still get traffic coming in from AZ if u disconnect your computer from the internet? Yah your problem isnt AZ, its something else, think about it, how can you get traffic from AZ if your not even connected to the internet?

[StopMyAz]

Because it has my ip on file somewhere. Thats how. I know its from AZ because its trying to access the same port I used when setting the program up. There is no other reason for thousands of IP's to hit my IP with that one port.

[DuoM]

I've had the same problems with other BT clients as well. Heres what I did - when not using Azureus setup an port/ip filter to block the port that Azureus is using - then deactivate when its in use. Dunno why this happens tho - none of my mates have this issue so maybe it's something wrong with the settings I'm using.

[BloodStraw]

You dont know what your talking about. If a program isnt running it cant use your internet connection in any way, so it must be running in the background or something. And if your not even connected to the internet there is no way in hell that your still being "attacked"

[Ne007]

Azureus NEVER stops!

yeh...mine just keeps going and going too! sucker never stops :)

[beardedwonder]

did you get it from: azureus.sourceforge.net? This is the only place you should download azureus from.

[que-em]

Yeah I know what you're talking about. When you shut down azureus the other bittorrent clients still attempt to make a connection to your computer but since the javaw.exe program is not running anymore your firewall blocks the connection. I don't know your capablities but in that situation I disconnect my modem and register a new IP addy.

[StopMyAz]

The problem has now been fixed. The file I was trying to download is no longer popular therefor the traffic has stopped. It had NOTHING to do with my computer. It was the fact that the torrent had my IP and that AZ thought I was still connected when I wasn't. I had over 70,000 hits from that, so I have no intentions on using AZ ever again.

[tukm]

maybe you have shitload of spyware...

[Krell]

I'm appalled, this is normal freaking behavior for any P2P.

Any time you have P2P apps running and close them down, you will still have inbound connection attempts, and they are meaningless, and you people KNOW THAT. You will continue to get inbound requests, and your firewall will fend them off, and no port will be open.

Straighten up, and start using your noggins around here!
