Re: µTorrent 2.2 released

When playing content (eg an album of audio files) from a window with a list of torrents (when you press Play), played only the first file. That is, played only a single media file, while more logical to play the entire file list. (Sorry for bad english).
So it should be or is this a bug?

Re: µTorrent 2.2 released

Upload (ceeding) Speed is very low. Peers a fasting person is missing, then the rate will rise, then immediately drop to zero

Re: µTorrent 2.2 released

I updated from 2.04, and nothing happens. The process is running, but there's no tray icon or window. I put the 2.04 exe back and it works fine again. Any ideas?

Re: µTorrent 2.2 released

Thank goodness for the 2.04 .btskin! Checking or unchecking Use fine grained file priorities while downloading files seems to temporarily hang. Logger confirms.

.. I can't believe I had to set up my columns again btw .. I would have thought you worked a way around this by now .. like having variable names within the settings file so it's still parsable by future versions for example, off the top of my head.

Otherwise, everything's looking great (now that I disabled all that btapp stuff and hid it )

Re: µTorrent 2.2 released

Up speed actually seems a bit less sluggish to pick up in 2.2 than in 2.0.4, I'll keep an eye on it though.

Re: µTorrent 2.2 released

Looks smooth to me and I have all global rate limit options unchecked, for what that's worth. Not seeing that spiking whatsoever with my usual slow-poke torrents, so I grabbed the slackware and oo test torrents and now i'm just seeing disk overloaded issues, soooooo that's just great.

Edit: Seems to have cleared up after a couple of hangs.. Gotta say, the number of hangs I'm seeing in the Logger is a bit excessive for something purported to be a release candidate.

Re: µTorrent 2.2 released

Nice, but the latest installer (Finnish language) contains typos...

(I insist that they will be corrected, otherwise I lose the nerves!)

Sometimes I doubt your commitment to Sparkle Motion, rafi.

The changelog link in the download page still points to the "µTorrent 2.2 "Griffin" beta 22538" thread.

Re: µTorrent 2.2 released

Guys, utorrent is a good app. But i have just intalled the RC and I was surprised to see this ugly icon in my taskbar (program and taskbar icons only). Are you really keeping this icon ? I think you can do better than that, it is even not a true icon. Also in Windows 7 explorer, change the view setting... Please get us a nice icon. Design in also important!

Re: µTorrent 2.2 released

hannubys, read the 1st post again. Download the 2.0.4-styled .btskin and drag into uTorrent while open. Voila. Problem solved.

Re: µTorrent 2.2 released

Does anyone here cares at all that the Path MTU discovery will work reasonably correct on this version ?
http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=84546

For it to  work properly, you should:
- set the starting / largest packet size to ~1500 as was before
- change the size to find & fit the exact path MTU and not in +-300 bytes steps
- set the DF flag as intended and/or at lease  NOT split packets any more AFTER finding the path MTU
- find the local MTU (PC,  gateway-router) and take it into consideration

Just reproduce my  test for that !
How hard can that be ?!
