Re: µTorrent Adder

Still no updates? Without feedback on errors this thing is pretty much unusable...

Re: µTorrent Adder

You're right, and I apologize for that. Life's caught up with me, and I haven't had as much time as I'd like to work on my pet projects, which includes µTorrent Adder.

I took a look at the code I had, and noticed that a large part of the error logging functionality was already put in place a while back. Following a tiny bit of tweaking, I've got something that should at least handle more errors in a more visible fashion.

In light of the fact that I haven't looked at this code in ages, I'm really hoping that I didn't introduce any more bugs here. I performed some rudimentary tests to make sure at least some basic use cases and edge cases work fine, but I'm not sure if I covered everything.

Changelog:

[font=monospace]v0.3.0.0 (2011-04-30)
^ New: x64 build support
+ Feature: Logger tab
+ Feature: Popup confirmation when torrent is sent via commandline
~ Change: Hide taskbar entry for profile naming dialog
~ Change: Improved error logging/reporting
~ Change: Properly detect and use system font on Windows Vista and newer[/font]

First post, as usual.

Users who would rather not see the notification when they add can use the -silent option as an additional commandline parameter in the Options tab and reassociate.

I didn't bother making a ANSI build, as I can't really test it to verify that it runs properly on older OSes.

Re: µTorrent Adder

What "remote field" are you referring to?

Re: µTorrent Adder

Sorry to go off-topic but when/if you have time Ultima could you drop in the WebUI dev thread, I could really do with your help.

Re: µTorrent Adder

Hi everyone, i figured i would fix loading magnet links over remote since all sites will stop using torrents soon.

I have a VERY strange issue with uTorrent Adder that i can simply not figure out on my own.

I firstly setup my utorrent adder and it works flawlessly connecting to my internal server running utorrent on static ip 192.168.0.3

Everything is gravy until i restart my computer, then uTorrent Adder won't say anything is wrong when i add stuff, but nothing gets loaded in utorrent on my server.

Usually uTorrent Adder should give you an error message something like "could not connect" if it can't connect, but it's mute, it says nothing, it looks like it's working but clearly isn't.

Now to the really weird part, randomly if i wait x amount of time, sometimes 10 minutes, sometimes 40 minutes, it starts working again and will promt instantly if a connect error is had.

Things i've tried:

Turning off firewall
Turning off anti virus
Patching windows xp tcpip.sys to not give "more then 10 tcpip connections blabla in event viewer"

Is there any more logging to be had, cause event viewer says nothing, and neither does utorrent adder.

The only thing i can see is when i click "add to utorrent" button is that it gets high lighted and stuck, for like 1 minute until it gets unstuck, so clearly its attempting to connect but gets blocked somewhere, but does not return any error.

Running Windows XP SP3.

Tried with both utorrent latest version and the prior versions.

Re: µTorrent Adder

Not sure what to say. I pretty much break the add attempt on all errors reported back to µTorrent Adder from Windows. If it doesn't detect an error, then almost definitely, Windows simply isn't reporting an error, so there isn't much I can do on that front.

During the time that µTorrent Adder isn't working, is WebUI itself working?

Re: µTorrent Adder

Thanks for this great plugin I have on suggestion for future feature

Sleep support

Currently if I click on a magnet link to add to a torrent and the host computer is asleep nothing happens.  The torrent doesn't get added, I get no notification of an error, and the host remains asleep.

Can I suggest the following

If enabled in the options
utorrent adder checks to see if host is awake
if host is not awake utorrent adder sends a wake on lan magic packet
waits 5 seconds
rechecks to see if host is awake
if awake the torrent is added
if the  host is still asleep wait 5 more seconds and then retry
If host still asleep utorrent adder displays an error that it was unable to add the torrent

Re: µTorrent Adder

I have just come across this and it works perfectly for me (Client PC Windows Server 2012) for magnet links but doesn't seem to work for .torrent files. The message box pops up saying it worked but the torrent isn't added to the download. I have tested the WebUI and it lets me manually add the .torrent files. Any ideas as to how I can resolve this?

Thanks in advance!

Zas

EDIT: Oh it's only when I click on the .torrent file in a web link. It seems to find the torrent file, download it and THINKS it sends it but no luck. If I then click on the .torrent file locally (where ever it put it or just one I have on my pc) that seems to work. Don't know if this helps work out the issue?

EDIT2: I have kind of got around the issue by changing Firefox's default behavior for .torrents files to "save" then once it has downloaded the file just clicking on it in the download list at which point uTorrent Adder works and I have to manually delete the .torrent file. Although I would love to have it work correctly if possible? ;-)

Re: µTorrent Adder

I made an account on the forums just now just to say thank you. I was about || that close to writing my own C# application to do the same thing. I don't know why applications like this aren't more popular or there isn't a native client application developed by uTorrent themselves. Adding torrents in the WebUI can be painfully slow and I'm very appreciative of your work on this application.

I'd offer you any help I could give, but it looks like you've got everything down pretty well. If you ever decide to stop maintaining this application, shoot me a message first!
