  1. Eek, redesigned setting dialog... nice, but bad for me... time to reorganize help x[ (I wonder what ludde means by that category thing...)
  2. (It's µTorrent, not µBitTorrent, by the way)
  3. This has happened before for µTorrent, and I've seen it plenty of times for other applications as well (foobar2000 comes to mind, but that's not the only one I've seen).
  4. What's wrong with the FAQ? Seems clear enough to me. My guess is that even a partially-better formatted offline help file still wouldn't suit your taste. The options are NOT meant to be played around with, and many people get along just fine without messing around with any of them. No, it's not because they don't know what each option is for and won't bother to read, it's because they don't need to change anything. In any case, for those who want to change, the more-oftenly changed advanced options are easy to understand (ipfilter.enable, for example), especially when a lot of them are in Hungarian notation anyway. Why doesn't ludde just make the options only editable in a text file? Firstly, just because he doesn't do one thing doesn't mean he has to go to the other extreme. Secondly, it would make OUR lives harder when we're actually trying to help someone troubleshoot something. Thirdly, would you suggest that ludde scan the settings file for changes every X number of (milli)seconds? That'd be the only way for immediate changes to occur if the file were edited, and frankly, checking for changes in an entire configuration file is neither elegant nor efficient. Inelegance and inefficiency, or just restart the application every time you edit an advanced option. Personally, I'd rather not have either. These are hardly the only reasons for not having a text file for configuration, I don't feel like thinking of any others. I'll end my post on this note... 1) Quit flaming 2) This has been requested and discussed before 3) This isn't a feature request or wishlist thread, so I'm not sure why this is even being discussed here
  5. lol don't worry too much about it rafi, at least you're not like most people, who leave in anger once they get banned... See ya 'round =P
  6. Using the option in the Preferences.
  7. Really? I thought the v1.00.6 firmware worked fine...? At least other people reported that it did... @Dross: I doubt you can exchange it after several months, besides having modified it already. I'd say, if something like a firmware ain't broke, and a new version doesn't have anything you need, don't change it.
  8. Yes, I'm for having µTorrent work similarly across operating systems, but I still wouldn't consider it a bug, and that was my point ;P Aside from that, though, you can't really deny that there are things in newer versions of Windows that simply can't be backported to Windows 98. Examples include the firewall thing I mentioned, and sparse files. Anyway, how do you suppose ludde could implement this without it being obtrusive? A regular dialog kills the purpose of the balloon notification in the first place, as it gets on top of other windows in an annoying way (unlike the balloon).
  9. Mmm... did you mess around with something in nLite..? Tweak UI can enable/disable it (under Taskbar and Start menu). It's not a Classic issue, as I use Classic as well, and I can see it ;P @rafi: Hm, I (personally) wouldn't consider the missing tray balloon a bug. It's just like some other Windows XP-exclusive features, like adding a firewall exception.
  10. My guess is that each column is given index values based on a default, hardcoded order, and the index values of selected columns are stored in the settings. When a new column is added, it shifts the indices, and because of that, µTorrent has no choice but to reset the columns rather than risk picking an incorrect column. But that's just my guess, and it's probably incorrect (especially since I'm a n00b coder, and might be thinking of things in a n00bish way ;P).
  11. Yeah, because a new column was added. No biggie, though. [cheap-reminder] As a side-note, I'd still like that auto-resize column thing that I suggested last year, but who cares about me ;P [/cheap-reminder]
  12. Preferences aren't non-modal. This is probably known... who knows, I haven't checked the IRC logs yet ;P In any case, I guess you shouldn't be changing preferences while doing anything else with µTorrent, so oh well.
  13. I've no clue what happened to it either, but I presume he removed it because if he wanted to keep it up to date, he'd have to make it again for every little change. More trouble than it's worth, if you ask me. Much easier viewing online and just copying+pasting into a text file.
  14. Try the non-English forum and see if someone can translate for you. Or maybe try Google Translate (might not be very coherent, but should get the point across).
  15. Create a shortcut with the /HIDE argument.
  16. I don't think anoxan was asking about when it'd be released ;P @anoxan: No clue, but last I remember (and this was a while ago), ludde got his implementation of UPnP *at least partially* working, but I could very well be mistaken. Edited a bit
  17. Nope, no way to get unpacked version =T
  18. Interface that allows you to control µTorrent from your browser.
  19. Bah I'll never acknowledge that n00b as a dev, n3v3r! jp (and I know you know, you've been around long enough, was jp, yet again) xD
  20. Nope, he clearly said that if it doesn't find settings.dat in %appdata%\uTorrent, it will look in its own folder ;P
  21. How about searching for ipfilter.dat in the FAQ? It specifically says to PLACE ipfilter.dat in %appdata%\uTorrent. It doesn't say it's in there. That means you have to provide YOUR OWN and put it in there.
  22. ... Huh? Firstly, you have settings.dat and whatnot in C:\Program Files\uTorrent, right? Secondly, if you start in F:\, and C:\ is untouched, how is what the FAQ's saying not true? Not sure if this'll help, since I'm not totally understanding you here, but I'll quote here anyway... "Simply copy the entire contents of %AppData%\uTorrent into the same folder as utorrent.exe."
  23. Eh oh well then, 2 seconds is bearable.
