I recently dumped McAfee Security Center off my PC and got AVG Antivirus (not the free one) instead, with a firewall. But since then I haven't been able to run any torrents. My settings are exactly the same in bittorrent and I have granted it access in my firewall settings. I have upnp enabled but the torrents just won't even start.
