:cool: Thanks! Now I can finally update to the latest build
-
Please fix the logger. It makes the last 2 builds completely unusable for me.
-
Is anyone else's logger going crazy with no way to stop it?
-
lol fair enough. I know I only quoted your post but I was also referring to this: I did actually see my own computer's name in the peers list because my computer is not named "localhost". That's what I wrote in my post...people just interpreted it wrong. I guess I should be more specific next time.
-
I never said I did. I wrote "Now instead of an actual IP address, it has my computer's localhost." "my computer's localhost" ... not my computer's name, "localhost". For the record, no, my computer is not named "localhost". I just didn't wanna give away my actual localhost name. Jeez, some of you guys really oughta learn how to read. And, it should be very easy to make µTorrent show the IP instead of resolving it in this case. The other peer has a different version of µTorrent with a different port, and it has an external IP address which is different from mine, plus doesn't every peer have a unique ID? I'm pretty sure µTorrent is able to differentiate between my own local computer and an outside peer. Anyway, yeah, no big deal at all and there are much more important things to be worked on. It was just an interesting find...that's all.
-
I know, that's pretty much what I wrote in my post. Anyway, my suggestion in this case is for µTorrent to show the IP even though "Resolve IPs" is checked. I like having "Resolve IPs" on because it gives me a little more info about where peers are located. But, in cases like this, it should show only the IP. I know this isn't hard to accomplish.
-
I just noticed something very interesting: I'm uploading to a peer and have "Resolve IPs" turned on. Now instead of an actual IP address, it has my computer's localhost. I know it's not my computer or any local computer because it uses a different version of µTorrent and different port than mine. So, when I turned off "Resolve IPs", I got the actual IP address of the peer. Then, I did a quick whois check on it, and according to the whois information, the IPs in that range (123.16.*.*) resolve to "localhost"...so in effect, I get my own localhost displayed in µTorrent. Hmm, I did not think this was possible. I think in this case it would be better to show only the IP, even when "Resolve IPs" is checked.
-
Actually, "Show a window that displays the files inside the torrent" is sufficient. I don't have "Always show dialog on manual add" checked and it still shows the window that displays the files inside the torrent. But, this is because I don't have "Put new downloads in:" checked. I don't use a default directory, I just let it remember the last used directory. "Always show dialog on manual add" used to be grayed out unless "Put new downloads in:" was checked...I don't know why they decided to change that.
-
I reported this one last year and it still hasn't been fixed. :/ Also, on a separate note, if you don't use "Show Category List", whenever you restore the µTorrent window after it's minimized or in the tray, the "Drop files to share" stays behind for a split second, then goes behind the "Detailed Info" pane and stays there. I know this has been reported before, but since I never use the "Category List", I didn't know where it was coming from. Now it's clear.

Or maybe their trackers are just that good. Either way, I really don't care. As long as they have the best pre times and fast speeds, and they allow me to use 2.1 Alpha or whatever cutting edge version is out there, that's all that really matters to me. Well, it really depends on what you're downloading. Usually the hardest to get into trackers have the best pre times (how fast you can get something once it's released in the scene) and the best speeds. A lot of seeds/peers doesn't always mean the best speeds. Take a look at the pirate bay for example. They will usually have plenty of seeds/peers but have crappy speeds anyway cuz people don't really care about public trackers. Also, if you're looking for older releases, they will usually be harder to get on shittier trackers cuz people stop seeding quickly. I'm sure someone could explain it better but that's pretty much the gist of it. Oh, and here's a nice website that tells you all about which private trackers are open for signups, etc: <munched by admin - questionable on rules>
-
DWK is absolutely correct. ILT is actually a very shitty tracker anyway, and hardly private. You can make as many accounts as you want because they've always had open registration. And those morons want to force people to use µTorrent 1.6.1 Build 490 -- that's the latest version they support! I, for one, stopped using trackers which don't allow me to use 2.1 Alpha and I'm not missing out on anything. Most of the good top-tier private trackers allow even the alpha versions of µTorrent. Here's my mini-rant I posted a while back: http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?pid=476356#p476356 And the alphas/betas still work there

It's still kind of a mess: http://download.utorrent.com/help/utorrent-help-200.zip = v1.8.3 (build 15772) http://download.utorrent.com/help/utorrent-help-2000.zip = v2.0.0 (build 17774) http://download.utorrent.com/help/utorrent-help-2010.zip = v2.0.1 (build 19078) http://download.utorrent.com/help/utorrent-help-2020.zip = v2.0.1 (build 19078) http://download.utorrent.com/help/utorrent-help-2100.zip = v1.8.3 (build 15772) And the 2.1 Alpha still downloads v1.8.3 (build 15772). You should at least make it download the latest available version v2.0.1 (build 19078).
-
I guess I'm just lucky cuz mine hasn't crashed yet. If you ever need a previous build, just replace the build number in the download link: e.g. http://download.utorrent.com/beta/utorrent-2.1-beta-18959.upx.exe ...but the last good build before 19225 was 18888: http://download.utorrent.com/beta/utorrent-2.1-beta-18888.upx.exe

I, for one, always set net.calc_overhead to false. I just don't like it when estimation is involved. I've been using pretty much the same settings since day one and IMHO there's no point in changing something that works. Now, I did experiment with different settings with net.calc_overhead on but I found that I can set limits that make more sense with net.calc_overhead off. With net.calc_overhead enabled, the limit I set (especially upload) doesn't work very well for all the different torrents I download. I found it's easier and better to leave net.calc_overhead off and use the settings I've been using all along. Even with uTP, my old settings still work fine. Maybe the reason I'm not seeing lots of overhead is because I mostly download from private trackers so usually there's only a handful of very fast peers instead of lots of slow peers. Anyway, I know you guys put a lot of work into this overhead calculation but unfortunately it's still not very accurate when comparing it to a driver-based calculation program like NetLimiter. P.S. It might not be a good idea to have net.calc_overhead set to true by default because it's not the standard way of doing things. People that are used to other torrent clients or P2P clients expect the limits they set to be obeyed in the same way. Now, they have to worry about changing their settings because µTorrent accounts for overhead by default. All I'm trying to say is you'll be getting a lot more reports from newbies this way. I still love µTorrent . Keep up the good work.

Then it will just download the old version again [v1.8.3 (build 15772)] http://download.utorrent.com/help/utorrent-help-2100.zip = v1.8.3 (build 15772) http://download.utorrent.com/help/utorrent-help-2010.zip = v2.0.1 (build 19078)
-
Newest help file v2.0.1 (build 19078): http://download.utorrent.com/help/utorrent-help-2010.zip Extract utorrent.chm to %AppData%\uTorrent and rename to utorrent-210.chm.
-
Or you can use build 18888 for now...if you can live without these changes: In my case, the columns were fine (but I did start fresh with the first 2.1 alpha release as far as settings.dat, etc.) And actually you can manually change net.utp_initial_packet_size to 4 and you'll get the last change too.
-
Yes, that works but it's not very good for your hard drives. This will wear them out much quicker. This is a very serious problem and needs to be addressed ASAP. No settings change is going to fix this. It's something that started happening with the last few builds. EDIT: From my observations so far, the size of the pieces in the torrents you download affects this bug. For example, I'm downloading a torrent right now with 512kB pieces and it's doing just fine. But, another torrent with 2MB pieces shows this cache/disk overloaded bug. BTW, this is with Windows caching enabled: And no, disabling Windows cache does not stop this from happening. Nor does increasing cache size or even limiting download speed...not that those are valid solutions anyway. I'll keep you posted if any other piece sizes trigger this bug. Results so far:
-
I stopped using trackers that block any version of µTorrent because I like testing the latest builds. There are still some lame trackers out there that won't let you use anything newer than µTorrent 1.6.1. If these paranoid tracker admins want to tell me what software to run then I would rather not use their trackers. And the ones that do block it are usually shitty anyway.
-
It works fine with my settings: Never mind:
-
I don't have this problem either. I even enabled windows caching (r/w) again and its working fine. 2.1.18959 - Win7 x64
-
"Drop files to share" still appears when µTorrent window is opened. This can easily be reproduced by minimizing window, then opening it again: ...and the window still doesn't remember its size.
-
Hmm... Works fine here. I did start with a fresh settings.dat at the first 2.1 alpha release though. ditto P.S. Very minor bug:
-
Well I never use streaming because I prefer rar's with sfv's The easiest way for me to reproduce this blue peer thing is by downloading only the sample file in the torrent since that file is usually streamable. But I have never actually used the streaming option.
-
Ahh, ok. Thanks for clarifying. Now, is it only "while streaming" or just if there is a streamable file present? Because when I saw this I wasn't streaming anything. P.S. The GSpot thing was a coincidence.
