Configure Comodo Firewall 3 for uTorrent

Most people (including me) prefer Comodo Firewall Pro, mainly for two reasons. One – its super secure. Two – the obvious one its free and works 10 times better than a paid firewall.

Other than these two main reasons there are other reasons as well, like its very user friendly uses very little memory and has built-in antivirus (Comodo Internet Security) and antispyware (Comodo Defense +) bundled up with the super secure leak proof firewall.

Lots of people have issues with Torrent clients and firewalls. Most people never use the full potential bandwidth of their connection due to a badly configured firewall.
