Does anyone know what this is/how to fix it? I'm running XP Pro and use windows firewall with exception for bittorrent

Guessing from the looks of your log, your ports are closed.

First off, If I were you I'd disable the XP firewall and use a better firewall like Sygate

Also, if you have a router, you will need to forward ports.

I've tried disabling the firewall and I don't use a router. Is it possible that XP disabled the ports?

What client are you using? Have you tried any others?

Who is your isp?

This appears to be a runtime error... Try using a different client and tell us what happens.

I'm using the regular bittorrent w/ comcast
I also have a similar problem with enemy territory.
Do you know any other good torrent programs?
