OS: Windows XP Pro x64
OFP2008 Version: 6.0.2284.253.0485
uTorrent version: 1.8 Beta (Build 8912)
Other installed programs of note: ESET NOD32 3.0.621.0. PeerGuardian 2.0 Beta 6b.
OFP2008 works fine for all of my programs except uTorrent. I have 2 specific rules allowing inbound TCP/UDP traffic to my uTorrent port (20xxx). This does work... however I still get a few prompts every minute about uTorrent requesting an inbound connection on my port which should be allowed. As you can see from the screenshot, it is allowing inbound TCP to the correct port yet it still asks sometimes.
Could OFP2008 be confused because uTorrent is getting so many connections at once that it can't handle it? I have tried disabling attack detection. I have tried erasing the rules and starting over. If I change my policy to "Block Most" instead of "Rules Wizard" then I can temporarily get rid of the annoying popups but that is not a permanent solution. If I didn't do that I would have to click "Block Once" thousands of times after a night of downloading. I have also tried adding the same rule over and over (TCP allow inbound on port 20xxx) lots of times but it just keeps adding the rule to the list and then ignoring it.
What can I do? It is not acceptable to do debug-level logging and send the results to Agnitum because the logs contain very sensitive information.

There's already a topic on this somewhere. And basically any application can be affected, not just uTorrent.

not sure how many of these posters have reported the bug to Agnitum, but the more poeple who report the bug the better.
