Ah this ! I always wondered what this window is asking me to authorize when the app is already downloading tons of things. I can’t imagine it’s just so flawed

I can’t imagine it’s just so flawed because it’s been like that for years. There must be another reason I don’t get.
- zamadatix 5y agoYou get a Windows Firewall prompt when an app wants to allow inbound connections, not outbound. This can include p2p technologies, most commonly things trying to register their own local discovery mechanism. If you don't use such inbound-initiated functionality it won't affect your outbound-initiated download requests.
