Thanks Lynne. To answer your questions, all torrents are listed with the same port number. i have tried stopping the torrent and starting it up again, but with no success.

i hope what you say at the end is true (if utorrent sez it's fine, then it's fine), but it seems to me that i am not connecting to firewalled peers. Would that make sense?
