Guys ,

I want to download (@ office ) stuffs using Torrent ( utorrent ) .
As soon as i start download it says
"Error opening Windows firewall: 0x80070005"
Surely this is coming coz my profile does not has sufficient privileges
to disable firewall.

Is there any way with which I can kill Firewall services. if possible
let me know any way to start downloading thru torrent clients.

Thanks
Deepesh

controlpanel->network connections->right click on your internet connection->properties->advanced->settings->off

Well Buddy, this is a Office PC and Dont have the administrator password
to do all this.

I need something that will not require admin rights.
