Stuck on loading screen

[edoble]

I get this message when I start torrentrover:

"Torrentrover was unable to retrieve connection information."

Please see attached pic for proof.

I had a similar issue when I had AVG installed. I had to disable AVG then torrentrover loaded without any issues.
Now that I un-installed AVG from my PC this message still appears and I dont have any virus protection currently installed.
Please help, thanks.

I'm sorry you're having trouble.

This issue occurs when TorrentRover is blocked from connecting to the TorrentRover services. Most often it is due to a firewall or antivirus issue. It may also be because you don't have the latest version of .NET 3.5 as well, but you mentioned that it was working at one point. I'd recommend you make sure you can access http://www.torrentrover.com in a web browser first. I assume you can. If so, you almost certainly have something on your machine blocking it.

If you can't access our web site, then you're either being blocked by a government, ISP, hosts file, or firewall...

If you need help figuring it out, I do offer remote assistance...

.net is up to date...I have windows 10.

I installed bitdefender and did a search for malware, etc......nothing was found.
All firewalls are off (windows defender and Bitdefender)...torrentrover still does not load up.

It appears that starting in Windows 10, .NET 3.5 is treated as a "feature" that may be disabled by default. You have to turn it back on I guess. Silly Microsoft. Here's how...

"a) Press ΓÇ£Windows LogoΓÇ¥ + ΓÇ£RΓÇ¥ keys on the keyboard.
b) Type ΓÇ£appwiz.cplΓÇ¥ in the ΓÇ£RunΓÇ¥ command box and press ΓÇ£ENTERΓÇ¥.
c) In the ΓÇ£Programs and FeaturesΓÇ¥ window, click on the link ΓÇ£Turn Windows features on or offΓÇ¥.
d) Check if the ΓÇ£.NET Framework 3.5 (includes .NET 2.0 and 3.0)ΓÇ¥ option is available in it.
e) If yes, then enable it and then click on ΓÇ£OKΓÇ¥.
f) Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation and restart the computer, if prompted."

IF that doesn't do it,

What antivirus/firewall do you use? AVG, Avast, Panda???

Did you check the windows firewall?

I haven't tested anything in Windows 10 yet, but I hear it's working for other people. Did you recently upgrade? If so, was it working before the upgrade? If so, I have a hunch it changed some of your Windows features.

I took the steps to install .net framework 3 as you stated .....did not work...same issue at loading screen.

I had only AVG installed when on windows 10 and I was having same problem. I would de-activate AVG and then torrentrover would load without any problems and i did not do any .net framework installation t that time. Everything was working when I would de-activate AVG. So I decided to just completely un-install the damn AVG because it gave me issues with torrentrover. However, removing AVG made things more complicated as now i cannot access torrentrover at all. Windows firewall is off....I turned this crap off as soon as i upgraded to Win 10.

I just found a few bugs on the server and fixed them. Sorry about that. You may want to give it another try now.
