  1. I just upgraded from 3.3 to 3.4 alpha. I just tried moving the torrent order around by using the toolbar up and down arrow toolbar icon. It works, but only once. I was expecting the torrent I selected to remain selected and allow me to move the torrent(s) up or down when I click on the toolbar icon. This is not happening for me as the highlight on the torrent disappears after the up or down click of the toolbar icon.

  2. > - Fix: Don't connect to ports < 1024 when no-connect-to-services is enabled (which it is by default)

    I read about the DDoS capability potential. Glad you guys addressed quickly.

    > When the file is 100% complete, it will not try to stream it.

    I think the expectation of users is that if you click on the green play button, it'll do something like launch VLC to play the file. If it is 100% complete, then do that if its a playable media file.

    There are the upsides and downsides to streaming versus playing the !ut file. For the µTorrent launched stream, I'd like to see:

    1) a visual display of the seek/track bar to show what areas are playable and what is not.

    2) I want the play meter to be able to track, much like VLC

    It goes again the idea of streaming, but sometimes you just want to see bits of the entire file to know if you want to watch the whole thing or not. Streaming has its point, but tracking has its advantages as well.

  3. > why people use full sequential downloading

    People want to watch video before the file is complete. VLC can stream an incomplete file as long as the file sections VLC streams are physically on the hard drive. I have unRARed AVI files and started watching the AVI while the AVI file was being assembled.

    While sequential piece requests (with hit-n-run) does affect availability, I'd like to see a technological solution to address this behavior. Once Project Pheon is complete, users may prefer to use that technology to watch video instead of bittorrent. We'll see.

  4. > So you see, crash dumps aren't always useful without context

    Are you saying my crash dump is not useful?

    > LGMSGHK.DLL

    Its a DLL Logitech Scroll Mouse.

    > I'm not saying that's definitely the cause of the crash

    The DLL has been around for as long as I've been using µTorrent. Its never been a problem before.

    I'm not including a process log unless a BT developer asks me to send it by e-mail.

  5. > - Change: added checkbox to the build torrent dialog so the user has the option not to rearrange the file order.

    Not sure if this was reported already. If I create torrent and start seeding, it will work fine. But if I seed separately (e.g. open .torrent file in Windows) and the file is not in µTorrent list, a force recheck will not work properly once a torrent is loaded correctly.

  6. Comcast idea of network management is to enforce 250GB monthly cap for residential users.

    On a different note, uPnP seems to be resolving IPs backwards.

    If my IP is 10.0.0.102 - it appears in the log as 102.0.0.10. So, I am not able to port forward properly since µTorrent sending a request to the router that does not exist on the local network.

    [2008-09-10 16:06:15] UPnP: Unable to map port 102.0.0.10:36562 with UPnP.

  7. > - Feature: isp.bep22, default off, inactive for private torrents (see: http://bittorrent.org/beps/bep_0022.html)

    Is there a list of ISPs that actually support this feature?

    > This is of questionable value, since it has more to do with where Akamai and Limelight servers are near you

    I think Ono is worth investigating. Akamai & Limelight will not get it right 100% of the time, but what they determine as a local peer could arguably be leveraged with Bittorrent users. As long as local peer speeds are greater or at least equal, I would prefer connecting to them 70%-80% of the time as opposed to a long distance peer.

  8. > fast seed has gone away?

    Yes. I was using a web server, and two other Bittorrent clients with 10 megabit upload. Would removing one Bittorrent client increase demand on the web server like that? Why would that be? Is there a minimum QoS that webseeding is observing recently? I guess there were some changes before I recall there were not much details about it...
