Re: µTorrent 3.2 stable (27568)
I think the better course would be to simply shuck all of 3x and take a new track to 4x. I find 3x to be currently banned more paces than it's not.

Re: µTorrent 3.2 stable (27568)
My settings.dat grows to ~48 megabytes. I try to open it in bencoder. In log tab i saw:
BDecode ~15minutes and TreeView Fill run for about 5 hours, so I kill it.

That means i will have to delete my setting.dat file and lose all my stats.
i got half of the dat file opened in word pad. seems like my download path location is places in it million times in a loop.

Re: µTorrent 3.2 stable (27568)
So, try and replace with your settings from one of the previous versions/builds. It's a beta, you take some risks, and need to take precautions...

Re: µTorrent 3.2 stable (27568)
doesn`t start...
wastes more than 2Gb RAM, and cpu 100%.
settings.dat was more than 150Mb.
I deleted all setings files. and it was working almost whole day.
Now settings.dat is more than 50Mb. doesn`t start again.

Re: µTorrent 3.2 stable (27568)
For the sake of argument (as someone else was utterly denigrating in attitude), I tried an experiment - comparing the same load under 2.2.1 and a couple versions of 3x and *everything* is "lighter" on 2.2.1 - hash checks go faster, there is less CPU load, less RAM consumed, more connections, and faster speeds.
I *have* created the 3x settings from scratch *using* the recommended settings - 2.2.1 is simply running more efficiently.
My only complaint is that I actually like the UI for 3x better (combined Status column, additional categories, etc)
Unless someone can post comprehensive "best settings" list, I'll have to stick with 2.2.1.
Personally, I think it would be a wise move to make the DAT files unencoded (no, I'm not a programmer, so I don't know why they are the way they are, but it makes it rather difficult to make changes to, even with BEncode).
Maybe someone can post a best "settings.dat" file for people to try? My Settings.dat file is ~270k under 3x and ~233k under 2.2.1.
Thanks!

Re: µTorrent 3.2 stable (27568)
When you run the Setup Guide, uT creates the best settings.dat for you.Some small changes might be needed if you experience throttling.
