I got it on the 4th try. I'm surprised new beta (or alpha) builds aren't shared via a magnet link/torrent on page 1 of the relevent forum. When a new build comes out, no problem... just update the link. How easy would that be!
I didn't notice it missing in 3.3.2.30180. No problems with tray icon. EDIT: After closing uTorrent 3.3.2.30260, then restarting, animation is back. Case closed at this end
A bug in 3.3.2.30260: The "rotating arrows" animation/icon is missing (Add New Torrent) when torrent metadata is being fetched when using a magnet link. (Using Windows XP).
Which build are you referring to? At time of posting, I just downloaded 3.4.0.30246 The download links are a bit of a lucky dip/Russian roulette sometimes as to what build you get. (A short while back, I downloaded 3 different alpha builds on the same link).
There seems to be a problem with the versions available on the alpha download link. It took many refreshes of the download page to get finally get 30193. (I was getting older versions - 30137, 30168, 30175).
Did you update manually (downloading the installer from the download page) or via Help>Check for Updates option? (I admit I'm not using 3.3.1, but currently I'm finding 3.3.2 respects uTorrent's installation folder that I set - Program Files>uTorrent - whether I Check for Updates, or via balloon notification update. Maybe it's an XP thing ).
I don't know what that means. I haven't reverted anything :| All I know is auto-update placed uTorrent.exe into C:/Program Files/uTorrent folder (and saved a copy of the executable in the AppData/updates folder - which it always does anyway).
