Ports for uTorrent are used as input points for stream loading of any given file from a torrent tracker. However sometimes the standard firewall of the Windows system makes blocking of ports, necessary for a program runtime, that complicates loading of files. To change this restriction, it is necessary to use the corresponding functions of the operating system.

Press the Start-up button of a system and in the search string enter request "Firewall". Among the appeared results select corresponding then click "Allow start of the program".
4. Find two lines in the appeared list of applications installed on your computer: uTorrent (TCP-In) and uTorrent (UDP-In). Put a checkbox opposite to each of these points and click "Ok".
