  1. After looking through the web-based GUI's that might work with Opera Mobile, I stumbled upon this little gem...

    This works perfectly on my Nokia 6265i. Couldn't ask for more. Thank you!! =)

    EDIT:

    Okay *slight* bug. Nothing major. But when I delete a torrent, it stays in the list. Refreshing doesn't help. I have to exit the app, and reload. Not too big of a deal, and it's probably just my stupid phone. Also if it sits there awhile, it gets disconnected but doesn't seem to know it, so no action actually takes place. My phone does that with many applications though, and only a few manage to keep the connection alive.

    But again, this is awesome, and I'm quite happy with it, regardless of the little bug I found. =)

  2. Hmm anyone know the difference between build 489 and 490?

    Ps. I just noticed the tray icon works fine under Ubuntu Linux now. I used to have it disabled because it didn't work properly. Works great now. Thanks to the uTorrent team, whoever that may be now lol =)

  3. I would love to test this new feature. I can test it in IE and Firefox, and possibly others. I also use a variety of operating systems, including Windows Server 2003 and Ubuntu Linux. I'm not at my computer often, and usually I remote in to check my torrents. This would be a cool alternative. I would be happy to help.

  4. @Ar3s: Hahaha, yeah, around here, if you satisfy one person, another one pops up complaining and wanting the opposite. That is exactly why a lot of people here don't get their way, which is how it should be sometimes.

    Ps. Another Ares huh? So, which of us is the evil twin? Although, with Ares, I guess that would be an oxymoron. Hmm... ;)

  5. STAFFO & hin123: Thanks (I think? lol) to hin123, I was able to reproduce this. Don't just push the two buttons down together. Left click and hold on a main button, hold down the right button as well, then drag the mouse away from a button. µTorrent will then freeze. You may be able to continue clicking buttons normally, but they will depress and not come back up. You can give another program focus and then go back to µTorrent to fix it pretty easily.

  6. @Skynetman: You could always disable incoming legacy connections. That, and I'm fairly confident Ludde is working on a way to solve that problem. I have no proof, but I'm just judging by the "Debate over Protocol Encryption" thread. But this might just be why there isn't a final release yet - because he does indeed care. ;)

    That, and I enabled encryption the second I saw it was a feature. I think as soon as people see the changelogs (if they haven't already), they will use encryption as well. But regardless, all you have to do is Force encryption and disable incoming legacy connections, and then you're sure to be encrypted.

  7. @TheDude: It sort of does make a difference for us shaped users. Because as soon as it's an "official release," hundreds of thousands of µTorrent users will be presented with the option to upgrade, and therefore support encryption. So all these torrents I've had queued up for months now, going at 5KB/s, will suddenly jump up to 300KB/s+ ;) (And yes, there are quite a few µTorrent peers in my torrents, but none of them are betas.)

    BUT, I in no way am advocating a push for a release. Ludde will release it whenever Ludde feels like releasing it. Which I'm sure will be when he's thoroughly tested it and is confident that everything works as designed. You guys have seen the changelogs, he obviously is still finding kinks in the latest builds. And there's no reason we need to pressure the man by asking for a release date. He'll release it when it's ready. But I'm just saying, the encryption is why everyone, including me, is greatly anticipating the release date.

    Just think, if Ludde releases it now, and suddenly there's a fairly nasty bug discovered, that might cause people to downgrade back to a version of µTorrent that doesn't support encryption, or worse, switch from µTorrent to another program altogether. Though I hope that wouldn't be any of us, but still, it could happen. So yeah there are very good reasons for Ludde taking his time. Patience is a virtue, and good things will come to those who wait. :P

    So basically, let us all anticipate, not demand. =)

  8. @wormhole: No idea, I copied it directly out of the FAQ. I'd say people were having problems with 2-4 times, so Firon upped the amount a bit. Not to mention µTorrent itself multiplies by 7. So, if that isn't working, the next choice would of course be 8.

    -Ares

  9. Haha it's okay, I knew what you meant. =)

    But yeah, leave it at -1 unless you really think you have problems. µTorrent automatically sets the cache size based on: "max measure download speed * 7."

    And as the FAQ states, "If you would like to adjust this value manually, set it 8 times your maximum download speed in kilobytes, but try to avoid going below 1000, or above 32768 in most situations."

    99% of the time, "-1" should be fine.

  10. @Abigail: You're confusing diskio.read_cache_size with diskio.write_queue_size.

    Judging by your previous posts, you're talking about diskio.write_queue_size. Usually it's fine to leave that at -1, and µTorrent will set the cache automatically based on how fast you download.

    -Ares

  11. Yes, it will. From the FAQ, "Disabled: Does not encrypt outgoing connections, but will accept encrypted incoming connections."

    µTorrent build 418 and higher will *always* accept incoming encryption. You can only control whether you want outgoing encryption. It's been mentioned before in this thread, but this thread is so long, I don't blame you for missing it lol

    -Ares

  12. @Stone: If you want to test the encryption, you can join the Test Torrent mentioned in previous pages of this thread. If you click on it and just get textual data, try right-clicking the link and saving it somewhere first.

    Be sure to enable DHT and peer exchange for the test, as the tracker has some problems. Right now there's about 3 seeds and 2 peers, all µTorrent.

    -Ares

  13. On other torrents, I've seen a lot of peers repeatedly appear and disappear rapidly in the peers tab . . . Has anyone else noticed this?

    Yes. Also, the trackers for the test torrent seem to be having problems, so that might answer a few of your other questions.

    -Ares

  14. Here is a torrent for testing new features (peer exchange and encryption):

    http://speedy69.webpark.pl/TestFile.torrent

    Wow, my speeds fly on this torrent. Cebridge (my ISP) definitely started throttling after I came back from winter break in January. Anyway, I'm downloading from two seeds (no peers). I have this on forced so it will seed indefinitely. Pretty good test torrent. :D

    Oh, and both seeds are "E". Strange part is, I'm not connecting to any of the four peers that are available. Just the two seeds.

    And I just got a tracker status I had never seen before. "A socket operation was attempted to an unreachable network."

    My settings for encryption are Enabled (not forced) and Allow legacy.

    I keep getting "Disconnect: Duplicate connection" in the logger window. I've also gotten "Disconnect: No such torrent". The IP doesn't trace to either of the two seeds I can connect to, nor does it trace to the two trackers. That applies for both errors.

    EDIT: Hm also noticed some new behavior in other torrents. I notice that now I connect to almost ALL the seeds, and only a few peers (1-5 out of like 60). I know this is what other people have been asking for, I was just wondering if it was implemented, or it's just a fluke lol. (I'm running build 418). Just thought it might explain why I'm not connecting to ANY of the peers in the test torrent (just connecting to the two seeds). I personally don't care whether or not it connects to all the seeds or not, as I know sometimes the best speed comes from other peers. I was just wondering, that's all.
