  1. Turn on "Disable Windows caching of disk reads."

    Maybe it should be disabled by default in next versions?

    Windows caching creates only troubles for uTorrent,

    or all its cache quickly gets all filled only by uTorrent data and other applications suffer because of that.

  2. What's going on here is peers communicate to each other what their IPv4 and IPv6 addresses are when they connect. This allows peers to try to reconnect to each other using a different protocol if for some reason the connection fails (i.e. is RST by some malicious third-party...)

    uTorrent refers to the "source" of these addresses as PEX, even though they did not come from the PEX message itself, but from a peer about itself directly.

    Is it possible to make this optional? Ideally, on per-torrent basis, but at least a flag in advanced options would be fine.

    First, there's a security issue. Some bad client in swarm could report some random IPv6 address, thus poisoning swarm and making it connect to this address which could be a kind of DDoS, since other clients cannot validate such IPs. Same trick could be done by PEX, but this one will work even on torrents with private flag set.

    Another reason is if I want to communicate on IPv6 only. I know I can block all IPv4 range by ipfilter.dat but what if I don't want my IPv4 address exposed at all? When this advanced flag is set maybe uTorrent should ignore other addresses it receives from other peers during handshake.

    This will work like a kind of VPN that would totally hide my IPv4 address from anyone for privacy reasons.

  3. utorrent-2.0-beta-17127.upx.exe cannot connect to any tracker. it writes "updating" and nothing happens.

    Both utorrent-2.0-beta-16850.upx.exe and utorrent-2.1-beta-17085.upx.exe are working fine.

    Add: Sorry, all trackers connected after some lo-o-ong time, other versions connects much faster

  4. is it possible to have different bt.transp_disposition options for LAN (10.* 192.168.* 172.x.*) and for Intrenet?

    On LAN I have full 100mbit UL/DL with TCP and <10mbit with uTP.

    and on "normal" internet with uTP I have better speed than TCP.

    Do you have ony information on their plans for future development?

    Can we hope to see NAT Traversal in uTorrent for example?

    UPD: There must exist many open source implementation examples to look at,

    or even LGPL code that can be included into uT...

  6. Not sure about how often releases are going to be made, but along the lines of what you're asking, this means that development's active and moving forward.

    problems of 488 and 489 builds showed that it was the first time new developers ever tried to compile uTorrent
