Re: µTorrent 1.2

It's almost fun to watch the number of DHT peers climb. Nothing like Azureus, but I guess that will come in time. big_smile

Sweet!  I've been watching this forum for about a month now, eagerly awaiting DHT.  It's the only thing that kept me from switching from BitComet.

I have a question though.  About "watching the number of DHT peers climb" - where is that exactly?  I *think* I found it.  Is it anyone in the "peers" tab that has "Mainline" under their client??

Or are you watching somewhere else?  I figured it would show up under the trackers, as BitComet's does, but I didn't see it.  Just happened to take a peek at the clients.  So, is that right?

Ps. this is way faster than BitComet, and it doesn't freeze my connection either wink


Thanks,
-Ares

Re: µTorrent 1.2

Trying the update in the application is giving a "can't connect to update server" error. Should I try waiting when there is less people trying to download?

Re: µTorrent 1.2

DHT peers are showing up in the status bar. Press F6 if it doesn't show up at the bottom of the window. You might have to enable it, but mine was on by default.

Auto-update is broken at the moment, I'm sure it'll get fixed soon.

Re: µTorrent 1.2

If you clsoe and restart your client it works, but if you just click check for new version it doesn't work... Atleast that was my situation.
