I cannot use uTorrent Web on my new laptop. I have w11 and Brave (updated).
I also use NordVPN. Any tips?

  1. I already tried to deactivate Brave shield, NordVPN and W11 ad blocker
    2.I get a torrent/magnet, I can copy it in utorrent, but then it does not work, i.e. it does not start

Instead of starting, it does nothing

Brave Version 1.76.81:

@WuZu,
If you are referring to the uTorrent application installed on your machine, then you’ll want to reach out to uTorrent support, as the issue is not specific to Brave.

If you’re referring to uTorrent “lite” (lite.utorrent.com), this seems to be working for me on macOS but on Windows it looks like it’s failing to to connect to trackers and the torrent file never loads/plays.

Going to look into this.

Actually it looks like this was just an error with the torrent I tried. Seems to be working fine in Windows now.

Can you try launching a Guest profile (Menu --> More tools --> Guest profile), closing your original profile window, then trying to stream a torrent on the site in the guest window and let me know if it works here?

Additionally, is this occurring for a specific torrent file or is it any/all torrent files? What site are you using to find the magnet links?

Thanks Matt, I will try and let you know how it works.
if I understood correctly - I need to try running utorrent from a Guest profile in w11.

Right – so what you meant was uTorrent web, not lite.utorrent.com as I mentioned earlier. For future support inquiries, make sure you’re as clear and detailed about the exact issue you’re encountering to ensure that Support team has all the information needed to resolve your issue.

Forget what I mentioned above – you should be able to use uTorrent web in the browser by enabling Autoplay for the site.

  1. Launch uTorrent web
  2. Click the “tune” icon to the left of the URL in the address bar in Brave. Click Site settings then find the Autoplay permissions and set it to Allow
  3. Refresh the uTorrent Web tab
  4. Copy magnet link and paste it, add the torrent to start the download
  5. Click play
