Hello, gaytorrent techies:
I wanted to download a torrent today, but I got an error message saying "You can't open the application "uTorrent" because it may be damaged or incomplete." What can I do to fix this? This is very sad. Help, please.
Thank you. I appreciate it.

When using uTorrent, you must first know the port number that your settings specify for your torrent usage. You can obtain this information within uTorrent as follows:
- Click "Options"
- Click "Preferences"
- Down the left side, click "Connection"
- Note the port number that is listed in the box for your connections
- Make sure that "Enable UPnP port mapping", "Enable NAT-PMP port mapping", and "Add Windows Firewall exception" are checked
- Make sure that "Randomize each port start" is NOT checked, as this will cause the port number to change every time uTorrent is opened.
- Click "OK"
Once this is complete, you are ready for your next step. The next step is to verify the make and model of your DSL/Cable modem, as well as any third-party router that you are using. When armed with this information, you can get detailed instructions and a walk-through on how to configure your port forwarding correctly from hxxp://www.portforward.com/
My only gripe about the site is that at times (such as when you select the make and model of your DSL/Cable modem or router, you will see ads that cover the page asking you to purchase their PF Config software. When these pages come up, look in the right corner for your clicking spot to close out of the window. It will read "Click here to skip this advertisement…" Once you do this, it will allow you to continue down the path of setting up the forwarding for the TCP and UDP port number that you noted in your uTorrent configuration to your computer.
If you run into problems with this, I can do my best to try and help you out with them. You can always send me a PM for further assistance if you would like, or can reply in the forum in case someone other than myself may be available to assist you further.
I have a Mac and am using uTorrent. I cannot figure out how to make myself connectable. I've seen people try to snatch, but they cannot.
