New issue. It does not allow any outer viruses and defects to enter your computer. Whenever any unwanted files try to affect your system, antivirus becomes activated and kills the virus.

When you download any file through the torrent app, the antivirus gets activated and tries to oppose the downloading, and hence it fails. So if you face the issue with downloading and have checked all the other causes, there is a high possibility that your antivirus will not allow the download to get complete. Now that we know all the possible reasons why your torrent download may be interrupted or not working.

The next thing to know is how to fix these issues.

When you click on it, another screen will pop up. Here you need to click on the Change Setting option, you will get this option on the right corner. Scroll down to locate the Torrent option and mark the Public and Private options.

Then click on Save. When the cause of the issue is an outdated tracker, the solution is to update it. To update the tracker, click on the file you want to download and then click on Update Tracker.

That is all you have to do. If this method does not work, remove the tracker that is not working and relaunch it. If you have uTorrent, then to remove the tracker, open the app and select the not working tracker. Right-click on it and then click on the Remove Tracker option. Follow the same step to remove all the non-working trackers. When the port does not work correctly, you can run the tests and adjust the necessary settings.

For that, open the app and go to Options. Few options would display; out of them, click on Setup Guide. Then lastly click on Run Test.

There on the left side, you will see a white menu with lots of options. There you can find your torrent client, say, Torrent option. When you click on it, a screen will display.
