Bittorrent,Comodo and an open port

Hello,

I noticed recently that my firewall is letting in connections on an open
BitTorrent port, so I closed the open port and rebooted. This stopped any
connections.

So I opened the port again and the firewall was blocking incoming peers.
Then I ran uTorrent for a while.

Then I closed uTorrent. But the firewall still carries on ALLOWING incoming
connects. This continues even if I remove the B.T. client from the firewall
permissions. It only stops if I reboot.

I can't work out if it is the BitTorrent client that is still loaded in
memory(if that's possible), or if it's the firewall that is not registering
the fact that the application has closed.

Is Comodo failing me?
Any input on this and what to do ?

Thanks.

Mani, believe it or not, I think what you are observing may be normal. I
have noticed the same thing with Windows Firewall (sp2) and Azureus BT
client. If you simply log off and close your network connection it may
resolve this issue. Have you tried disabling Comodo firewall and running
Windows XP Firewall with the same (mu)-Torrent BT client?
