    I have mad respects to rafi and all the work he's trying to help folks out there. But he only posts already modified binaries with LAA flag enabled, so I cannot verify the digital signature of the file.

     Have some trust in the "system"...

    So this'll be the 'full' version with all the added, and unwanted stuff.
    I wan to test and prove improved versions. Not fight through the rubbish. Please post links to 'clean' beta versions.

    I've been using LAA for the last half a year or so.

    Without LAA it was crashing every 10 minutes at ~4000 torrents. With LAA it became solid. It was crashing once a day or even less frequently.

    When I got to ~6000 torrents, with LAA it was crashing every 2-3 hours. At ~7000 it was crashing every 1 hour or so.

    Now with ~8200 it crashes every 10 minutes even with LAA.

    But thanks for the suggestion anyway!

     

    I also noticed that it does not matter how many torrents are active right now. I stopped *all* the torrents. And it's still crashing every 10 minutes.

    Which Windows version? X86 or X64?

    Ok, I just went from ~8100 torrents to ~8200 and now instead of crashing every hour, it crashes every 10 minutes. And uTorrent support is completely ignoring my messages.

    Why did I ever think that buying a pro version was a good idea?

    A "classic" use-case to try with my LAA mod with...

     which would [IMHO] be win api FU,

    I agree... So, if just the association is broken/unpredictable  - it's not such a big deal, API hasn't  probably been designed to work that way...  

    You can always just copy the magnet link to the clipboard and use file->add-torrent-from-URI (ctrl-U) in whatever instance you want, so  to avoid confusion.

    FOR THE DEVELOPERS TO READ:

    re:  multiple instances

    when playing with multiple encapsulated instances and the use of /recover, I noticed that the hand-off of  browser clicks and explorer double-clicks to the ASSOCIATED instance [just 1 is associated, and the 2nd is in its own path and has a changed .exe name] 

    Describe your setup details: are any other file(s)  located in each exe folder (except for the exe itself)?

    Most likely - ads/offers  related ... Best way to avoid such bugs - is to disable ads altogether... if you don't know how - use my settings example (in my sig)..

    I just tried the /recover option.. which I never knew existed.  So far, it confuses me.  It just opened up a 2nd instance of Utorrent with the exact same database of 7643 torrents.  I expected the  /recover instance to be empty of all torrents so I could start like new...

     

    I guess reading one line in the the helpfile is not enough... You need to know what you are doing, and the right way to do it...

    Is it possible to run multiple instances, each with its own path, port number and destination directory?  

    It is, using the /recover command line option.

    Moving the whole .torrent directory to an SSD can be helpful to speed up startup/exit of utorrent. So you should:

    0. Backup resume.dat

    1. Copy all .torrent files into the a new SSD path or zip + unzip (which is good as a backup as well...) - like C:\bittorrent\torrent_files

    2. Rename the original .torrent folder (for example  D:\bittorrent\torrent_files  to D:\bittorrent\torrent_files_backup) 

    3. Set a hardware symlink instead of the old .torrent files subfolder  "mklink /J C:\LinkToFolder C:\Users\Name\OriginalFolder", like:

    run cmd as admin and > mklink /J D:\bittorrent\torrent_files C:\bittorrent\torrent_files 

    This way previous .torrent files' location that are still in resume.dat will still be found ...

    I really think the developers need to make a separate program, which (after closing the utorrent application) allows the RESUME.DAT file to be edited

     

    There is , BEncode editor. Search for it....

     It would be nice to have a way to simply purge entries from the resume.dat file so they can be re-added.

     

    If it still shows, Remove -> .torrent will purge it, and to recover it re-add + recheck. There is nothing you can do about corrupted file. except us the *.old version of it.

    All info  related  the torrents is stored in resume.dat . With that many torrents, this file is becoming larger, and it takes longer to update it. So, for example, when you close utorrent.exe, it might take longer to really quit . during this time, you should not abort the exe nor re-activate it in any way. I suggest for the above posters to just "take is slower" , and let it update w/o interruption. Also, re-locating a standalone utorrent.exe to an SSD can speed this up and improve...

    You can experiment , and after you exit utorrent, look at that file, and see when it stops changing the modified date or at task manager to confirm how long the exe is still there.
