PUA-P2P Bittorrent uTP peer request

Hello,

Yesterday i have upgraded my ASG 120 from v8 to v9.000
When i start downloading utorrent the IPS Log show always "PUA-P2P Bittorrent uTP peer request".
A DNAT port incomming to my PC is already set up.

How can i allow Torrent downloading for one or two pcs only?

    With Application Control disabled and the IPS Rule "2101" disabled, in the ips log is shown: (for testing now with skype)

    with torrent its the same but only with "PUA-P2P Bittorrent uTP peer request" and a another Rule ID.
  • The rule you want to except is rule ID 5999 (the "sid")  -- that 2101, I think, in your case is the process ID.

    and 5963 if you wanna use Skype.
