Double post (only pressed Submit once)...weird

More and more people are agreeing that this needs to be changed. Here's some detailed explanations. You don't need to read the whole thing as long as you understand why this NEEDS to be changed. If you don't understand this, please keep reading. The text in green is my explanation of this problem which I think is the most detailed (maybe too much), but after reading it, there should be no misunderstanding. Not sure what you mean here, move the file? I did not even know such a thing existed other than move the torrent after it finished from the unfinished directory. but it should not rename move files etc other wise... Many of us seed to multiple sites etc and we cant have something automatically delete and change files when a program is not a file manager. And when you have hundreds of torrents it becomes a nightmare to even figure out whats going on when a program starts doing things like this. The relocate command was a great feature with multiple sites due to this feature as we did not have to replicate the entire file set to seed to multiple sites as only the text files inside changed.. Okay after calming down a bit I have tried to figure out how this works although I still have had no luck with some of them since some torrents have many sites and all the renaming was confusing and I gave up after trying to fix 10 or so torrents but I now know why some of the things have happened. But I have purposely not gone to see the help file on how this works to see if I can figure it out, as there are a huge number of posts on many many forums and help topics on the web on how to help people seed to many sites etc using the relocate command using the old method and this would really confuse the issue quite a bit. You should really never ever change the way a command works since the procedure would be all over the web in a few weeks anyway. And even if the new way was posted later, there would be pages and pages away from where the web search took you to. Maybe this should have been a new command like rename instead of relocate or maybe even move. The commands are inverted since what I am doing is really rename and what its doing currently is a real relocate but its already done for years the old way so too late to switch it now. Changing the old way to a new command name would just confuse and make it harder. And when people get confused and things dont work the way as expected eg by reading a help post on how to do things, you pretty much start to lose intrest in doing it with that program. This has been annoying me for quite some time now. See if my post sounds similar to what you're talking about: Anyway I have found a workaround for this problem but I still think it should be fixed (e.g. make it another option or let us turn automatic relocation off so it behaves like before). http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?pid=545418#p545418

Are you guys ever going to fix the broken Global Download Rate Limiting?

Firon: Thank you for getting them to fix their tracker for https. I see they gave you VIP as well. :cool: BTW, what was the problem with it?

Well, it's a private tracker but I could send you an invite. Or maybe there is something I can do with Wireshark.

I've noticed that you recently added "Added On" and "Completed On" to the General tab. This is fine, but now the Detailed Info pane takes up too much vertical space if you want to view all information without having to scroll down. My suggestion is to distribute some of this information more evenly. Current: http://i51.tinypic.com/4h6vy1.png Proposed: http://i53.tinypic.com/2dlnhph.png In case you still want to keep "Added On" and "Completed On" on the left side, at least move them up so the "Comment" field is last and move the "Hash" field under "Pieces" like in the second image. EDIT: Hmm, now that I look at it again, maybe it would be even better to just have "Added On" and "Completed On" under the "Pieces" field on the right side. Then, you can leave "Hash" and "Comment" on the left as it is currently. Like this: http://i56.tinypic.com/2zg6phs.png

It's still broken. Same as in this post: http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?pid=524978#p524978. If there's something else I should look for, let me know. P.S. No crashes for me either.

Undocumented change: -- 2010-10-05: Version 3.0 (build 22329) - Change: remove upload slot settings

I just noticed a problem recently: I used to be able to use the "Relocate..." option on a file in the files tab to get µTorrent to read from a different file in the same folder (for seeding). I have to do this when I want to download a torrent from one tracker and seed it to that tracker and to a second tracker at the same time, where only the nfo file is different in the torrents. I have 2 of the same torrent (different hashes, same files except for nfo) loaded into µTorrent from 2 different trackers and the only difference between the 2 torrents is the nfo file. One tracker has that torrent with a UNIX nfo file and the second tracker has a DOS nfo file, but otherwise they are exactly the same torrents with the same files. Now, if I download the torrent (UNIX nfo file) from one tracker and try to load the same torrent (DOS nfo file) from a second tracker to seed to it, µTorrent will hash check the torrent, but since the nfo files don't match, that part of it plus the shared pieces around it will be red in the files tab, and it will try to download those pieces if started. This means not only that it wastes bandwidth downloading the same files over but it also breaks the original torrent from the first tracker because it overwrites the UNIX nfo file with the DOS nfo file. So, I was very happy when µTorrent gained the "Relocate..." option because now I could get around this problem. If I wanted to download the torrent only once from one tracker and only have one copy of the torrent folder/files on my hard drive and still be able to seed to both trackers from there, I could simply use the procedure below: What I would do is convert the "file.nfo" (UNIX to DOS) from the downloaded torrent files (from the first tracker) and save it to "file.dos.nfo" (in the same folder) and then point the "file.nfo" in the torrent from the second tracker to the converted file (file.dos.nfo) using the "Relocate..." option in the files tab. Then, when I rechecked the torrent from the second tracker, all the files were blue and I could seed to it without having to re-download any files. This also meant that I could continue seeding the original torrent from the same folder to the first tracker using "file.nfo". Well, I just tried to do this with the latest build and it doesn't work anymore. It doesn't let me point the "file.nfo" to "file.dos.nfo" located in the same folder using the "Relocate..." option. This is probably because it now tries to actually move the file when using the "Relocate..." option. And moving the file doesn't help me...it's not what I want to do. I simply want to point µTorrent to read from the other file (file.dos.nfo). This is a problem for me because I now can't do what I was able to do before. I'm not sure whether "- Fix: relocating of single files" or more likely "- Fix: Make 'Set Download Location...' actually move the torrented data" messed this up as I don't have access to previous builds to test this. Either way, I would appreciate an option to be able to turn off µTorrent's moving of files when using the "Relocate..." option. Or just make it so that I'm able to point one file to another file like I used to. Thanks.

If you're still seeing HTTPS problems' date=' please wireshark 2.0.4 and trunk communicating with your webserver so we can see what's going on. We'd also like to know what webserver and version they're running. It works on our nginx servers, so without more info, we can't proceed.[/quote'] The server is lighttpd/1.4.26. It works on 2.0.4 and 2.2, just not on 3.0. I will wireshark it when I have more time. EDIT: I wasn't really sure what to look for, so all I did was try to find a difference between the two: 2.2: (working) 3.0: (connection closed by peer) If there's something else I should be looking for, let me know.

I'm still getting "connection closed by peer" on affected tracker.Please fix the https bug. Latest 2.0.4 and latest 2.2 versions work fine.

FYI: http://download.utorrent.com/beta/utorrent-3.0-latest.exe now points to Version 3.0 (build 21734) so you can get the previous good build from there until they fix it.

I'm still getting "connection closed by peer" on affected tracker.

This is the correct forum (thread) , since this flag appeared in the alpha version. µTorrent 3.0 alpha uses the same help file as µTorrent 2.2 beta (v2.2 build 21738). Anyway, it's a pretty rare flag (I've only seen it a couple times when connecting to seeds). Maybe it's a secret flag they don't wanna tell us about.

The newest help file (v2.2 build 21738) still doesn't explain what the v flag in the peers list means. I asked about this twice before but was ignored

Please don't forget about the SSL tracker bug. That's the fix I'm looking forward to the most. I would have reported this one myself a long time ago, but I only saw this happen on one https tracker (others were working fine) so I figured it was the tracker causing this problem. I never bothered to try a different version. Thankfully a574 found the cause.

Yeah, it tries to stream it. LOL And, the numbers corresponding to the words e.g. low, normal, high are a little weird: I think it should be more evenly distributed e.g. 1-5 = low, 6-10 = normal, 11-15 = high

Build 20905 was crashing for me before I could even see the GUI. So, I went back to 20814 and set btapps.show_apps & gui.find_pane to true, exited, installed 20905 again and then it was fine. I even set both btapps.show_apps & gui.find_pane to false again and now it seems to be working. You should try that and see if you still get any of the problems you described.

Well, that solved my crash at startup problem; I had both options set to false. Thanks shakey_man! So, I reset both to true, exited, upgraded to 20905, set both to false again and everything is fine now. No more crashes at startup! P.S. I like the new quote function on the forum but it still need to be tweaked a bit On some skins (Kontrast, phpbb blue, uTorrent) the "x wrote:" now shows up outside of the quote box: BEFORE / NOW Also, I don't like how it now puts each post and signature separately in its own white box. They used to be all in one box: BEFORE / NOW And didn't the DST used to adjust itself? Now there's a new "DST is in effect" box that you have to check manually. In short, the new FluxBB 1.4.2 update messed up some of your skins.

It has to do with streaming:

Latest build (20905) crashes on startup every time. When I reinstalled build 20814, these settings were reset: "Show a window that displays the files inside the torrent" = got unchecked (was previously checked) "Apply rate limit to transport overhead" = got checked (was previously unchecked) Win7 x64

He's talking about the little icon in the bottom right corner, next to the network status one: I think there should be an option to remove it. IMHO, antivirus apps are for nubs. I don't have one installed and I've never had a virus. And I've been using computers for over 15 years. I used to use Kaspersky but only for on-demand scanning. All that proactive bs that runs in the background and checks what you're doing like a nanny is not for me. Right now, I only use VirusTotal Uploader if I need to scan something I download. Of course I don't download random crap that most people seem to, so I never have a problem. Most trustworthy files have a digital signature nowadays anyway. No need for a lame av app. Also, Firefox with ABP is all I need in terms of internet security. My hardware firewall helps a bit as well.

I wrote about this here: http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?pid=494966#p494966 I still think that in this situation, µTorrent should show the IP even when "Resolve IPs" is checked. I want µTorrent to be smart enough to win this "game".
