I have looked around on Avast and I have no idea where these settings are. I have used both programs in tandem for several years on this computer and never had an issue. Is there something new on Avast that would have started this issue? I really like Avast but if I have to give up one for the other it will have to go since it seems to effect all torrent programs. I know from other forums that I am not the only one with this issue. Unfortunately a real solution has yet to be found.
