That’s amazing! Thank you, thank you… When I consider all the time I’ve spent watching and waiting for that GD progress bar to finally complete so I can run another test round… Ahhhh

Georgee,

most probably the problem is in the firefox extension “Torrent Server Handler” by Alon Swartz. Uninstall the extension and everything should work just fine.

Am I the only one in the world that cant get FF3.5.5 to download a torrent file from a fresh download of FF and a reload of vista? IE7 does it just fine.

As we are on almost the same vein, can anyone tell me why when i first started to use Firefox with Vista it worked find but after a reload, Firefox 3.5.5 will not let me access or download a torrent from ANY torrent sites like isohunt, I get a popup window that says: firefox can not connect ,,,,, localhost:12322

Anyone have this one?

Is there any fix for the _web server_? I get this when using XML-RPC.NET as well. Unusably slow…

Thanks a lot man :) I took myself helpless and had to use IE each time when there was localhost requests. You are a great help :) Thanks again.

Thank you! I would have never guessed that in a million years.

I experienced the same problem and was wondering what to do.
