  1. b17668...

    I notice that the bandwidth graph is not showing the local bandwidth used anymore.

    Bug or design? I'd really like to have it back.

    Also, obeying the connection limits appears to be working properly again, no issues in the past few days.

  2. uT not obeying connection limits again...

    torrents keep going active, but never attempt or allow connections, because the statistics window shows way more connections active than I allow.

    (I allow 32, currently it shows around 70, seen it as high as 110)

    no matter what is going on, any kind of connection should obey the limit... if it doesn't obey the limit, don't count it against the limit, please.

  3. Richard> We are looking into a solution to get old skins working with a mixture of defaults for new images. Did this problem also occur in the 1.7x-1.8 update for people using skins? New images were added in that update as well.

    Yes, it occurred in those updates as well... I mentioned it... complained even... loudly... a few times...

    I was shut down again...

  4. Builds don't go on the automatic updater until there has been some testing first.

    Generally, it goes like this, with occasional exceptions.

    First, a new build is tested among the development group.

    Next, it is tested among the support group.

    Next, it is announced in the main IRC channel, for some quick limited public testing. Most of the time, if there is a serious problem, the dev and support groups haven't noticed with their system setups, it will be noticed pretty quickly in this step.

    Next, it will get posted in the forums, just like this thread was. A little wider public testing, and any serious issues that the IRC peeps didn't catch, will be found here. In 1.8.2's case, this is the step where a significant amount of crash dumps were being reported, which the devs are investigating. (this is why 1.8.2 hasn't hit the updater this time)

    Finally, if all goes well by this time, which on average, would only be a few days or less, with no serious issues being spotted, then it goes on the updater for wide release to the public.

    So, go ahead and stick with the automatic updater. By the time you get an update automatically, it should have already passed a decent amount of testing.

    (beta updates are the exception to this whole process. keep beta updates disabled unless you're wanting to test potentially buggy builds)

  5. a paused download, is still active, and incomplete, in that context... try stopping the torrent instead.

    Don't pause torrents as a rule... a short-term, temporary, pause, is fine, but if you're not going to participate on that swarm for a while, just stop it. It removes you from the swarm, saves connection overhead, and you don't waste connections on a .torrent you aren't going to be active on in the first place.

  6. I've uninstalled 1.8 and gone back to 1.7.7

    so, you're not interested in learning how RSS works in 1.8 then?

    People, please... put a little effort in...

    They way you guys keep pulling out so quick when you're not getting the immediate results you want... you must leave behind many unhappy ex-girlfriends...

  7. I think he means the title-bar text for the web page...

    The main index page says "Powerful BitTorrent Client"...

    The download page says "The lightweight and efficient BitTorrent Client" tho...

    >shrugs<... think he's just being a little whiner about that tho... the program is infinitely more important than the slogan...

  8. btw... Wine bills itself as a Windows emulating environment... so it isn't on us to specifically code to be compatable with Wine... just with Windows... it is up to Wine to specifically code to be compatable with Windows' environment, so Windows applications will run on it.

    If a program runs ok under Windows, but not under Wine, and Wine is supposed to be emulating Windows, then it isn't doing a good job of it and needs to work it out...

  9. he may also try setting it to run on startup in the preferences, click OK... then go back into preferences, and turning it back off again, then clicking OK again... without dinking around in the registry editor...

    no guarantees...

  10. bit hard to make a micro icon as noone will be able to see it :\

    Well... I'm jumping in on this thread late... but...

    We could actually make a micro icon... reduce the µ symbol down to where nobody could see it... maybe

    even just single pixel or two... with a magnifying glass offset a little bit, angled so it looks like someone looking

    through it at the dot, showing the µ symbol in the magnifying glass...

    (please don't use the footprint one... I can't stand it. :) )

    ps> I like Huck's better than the rest so far... maybe a little fiddling, adding some color and shadow, but I like the concept so far. Just... please... no more green? :)
