I just reloaded my good computer and i was wondering
1. What is the best firewall for bittorent. Take in consideration port management (ie. conectability issues, ease of opening ports...) and stability (firewall crashes) and why?
2. If you have zonealarm, do you have problems with vsmon.exe? it crashes and sometimes takes out my connection. it seems to crash more, the more torrents im seeding.
If someone would like to make this a poll, please pm me with the most common firewalls.
Dont use Norton or Mcaffee.
ZoneAlarm works fine for me when I feel like loading it.

manofstyle, thats what happenes 4/5 times, but it seems to kill the connection that other 1/5th of the time. i guess its just me...
Try this:
Open ZA
Firewall --> Main --> Internet Zone Security --> Custom --> Check: Allow Outgoing DNS, Allow Outgoing DHCP, Allow Broadcast/Multicast
alright thanks alot, i'll tell you in a couple of days how it works out.
Sygate Personal Firewall Pro :D and works just fine
Sygate is the best, especially the older version released before the Symantec owned the co.
i`m using Agnitum Outpost FireWall, work fine for me.
