  2. µTorrent 3.4 RC

    in Announcements

    Posted

    One other thing I've noticed... the labels showing the number of torrents is still not functioning 100%. Sometimes it does, and sometimes it doesn't. At the current moment it's showing the correct number, so I can't do a screenshot, but next time it happens I'll take one.

    Very high CPU usage on RC4. Windows 8 64 bit. My processor fan won't shut up.

    Yeah' date=' #2 on my "known issues" list too... [url']http://goo.gl/piz0ZY

    Can you check if working without TCP resolves this (Pref.Advanced->bt.transp_disposition = 26) ?

    I reset it to the default number, which is 31, and it fixed it it seems. No more high CPU usage. I'm not sure what I had it set to now though. I think it might have been in the low 20's. Not even sure what this setting does, or why it wasn't set to the default number.

    I looked at the log screen. I'm not sure if this is a problem with just this version of uTorrent, or if it's a general problem on my end. I saw the following in the log screen:

    [2012-10-02 21:17:51] File not found during integrity check: C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\uTorrent\remote-devpair.dat

    [2012-10-02 21:17:51] File not found during integrity check: C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\uTorrent\remote-devpair.dat.new

    khristopher,

    I am by far NOT a uTorrent expert. I can understand to a certain degree your fustration. I would like to see more system and integration testing prior to a version becoming a RC.

    But you cannot expect uTorrent to pull/roleback enhancements. If you like the older version, go back to it.

    As far as "High CPU" usage, I have never seen it that high. Sometimes it would 11-12%, but I have 60+ torrents downloading and seeding. And I do a lot of Force-rechecks because I am recovering a lot of torrents I have lost in the past.

    "Hangs when Exiting" issue has been posted before. uTorrent notifys trackers of current ratios. It also has to finish writing out the cache. Depending on the number of Torrents loaded/active, that can take some time. If you kill the process or shutdown your computer without waiting for uTorrent to finish what it needs to do, you are going to slow your startup because of rechecks on all files you were downloading and still open at the time. Since uTorrent processes rechecks serially, that can take a lot of time to get backup to speed.

    "Tons of data ....", I do not know what you mean by "Tons". But it has been posted that if you have DHT enabled, there will be activity going back and forth between uTorrent and the DHT net(?) even if you do not have any torrents active. If you do not want that activity - disable DHT.

    I do not know the speed of your internet connection. But if you are trying to max out uTorrent, then of course it should/could effect your browser performance. But it may also be just the sites you are interacting with. Why don't you try to limit your download and upload speeds to reduce the impact to your browser activity. I am downloading approx 400kB's and I do not notice any significate loss in browser performance.

    My CPU usage is in the 20's.

    Hanging when exiting is not a HUGE deal. That one I can deal with.

    I do not have DHT enabled.

    My internet is 20 mbps down. 1 up. I do not allow uTorrent to use the full amount. I have it set to 1500K.

    This client just continues it's trend of becoming an awful torrent client. Really disappointing.

    High CPU usage.

    Hangs when exiting.

    Tons of data being uploaded and downloaded, despite no active torrents.

    My internet becoming much slower for browsing when uTorrent is running.

    These are just a few things since 3.0.

    I really hope things will change and go back to being an excellent client.

    I also hate that any time I try to get help with issues on this forum, I get some moderator with an attitude. Really not helping my impressions either.

    If there is NO active torrent job in your list PLUS you disable DHT - all should see 0 data flow in or out. There would still be incoming connections that you cannot control (turn the logger on for incoming). Only Firewalling them can help you avoid that.

    Until you do that ' date=' you are on your own... ;) (you can peek at my tips, tho...)[/quote']

    I have followed your tips before, and they did nothing to help the problem. I can not be the only one experiencing this issue!

    How much kb/s are we talking here?

    under 1kb dl/ul per second could be just the DHT protocol.

    I posted this previously. I'll re-post it.

    Another issue I have.

    I had this with the last 2.2 build as well.

    I have 0 torrents downloading, but multiple seeding. I started it up about 2 hours ago. I have downloaded 144 mb. In a time where making sure you don't go over bandwidth limits, this is not good. That could add up very very quickly. Is this amount real? What is it I'm supposedly downloading exactly?

    Sending and downloading when there are not even any active torrents is ridiculous, and making my bandwidth sky rocket. Plus making my internet so much slower, and not connecting to websites. Maybe your next version will work properly, but I am not crossing my fingers.

    Anyone else having this happen or is it just me? I have tried so many things to fix it, but nothing seems to work. This behaviour started with 2.2.1 for me, and still happens in 3.0.

    I am not understanding how primary labels work. Is there a place I can read more about them?

    I don't like multiple labels personally' date=' and have no use for them.[/quote']

    Nobody?

    The primary label is effectively the old label. The other labels are just tags (they do nothing but act as a tag).

    That doesn't make any sense at all. It behaves the exact same way for me.

    Label a torrent as: Music.

    Have some other torrents in a label called: Delete

    Now, right click on the one torrent with the label: Music, then choose Set Primary: Delete

    It still has the label: Music attached to it, which means it acts the same way as setting a label the regular way.

    So, now I always have to check a label, and then uncheck the old one. Sucks so much. I think I will go back to 2.2, since that is the last version to work properly for me. 2.2.1 was awful as well. Sending and downloading when there are not even any active torrents is ridiculous, and making my bandwidth sky rocket. Plus making my internet so much slower, and not connecting to websites. Maybe your next version will work properly, but I am not crossing my fingers.

    I don't need to do that. I've done it a while ago, and my speeds remain the same. I have my upload limit set to 50 kB/s, and I get a max of 80 kB/s.

    My download limit is set to 350 kB/s, and I get a max of 500 kB/s.

    Also, uTorrent is not obeying the download limit. It is currently downloading at 450 kB/s with the speed limit set at my usual 350 kB/s.

    Really unfortunate that I'm getting dial up speeds when browsing the internet with utorrent running. As soon as I close it, everything is nice and speedy. And utorrent is only downloading at a rate of 30 kB/s currently, and uploading at the same speed.

    Something is very wrong with this build. I've tried changing all of my settings as suggested here, and other pages. Nothing has worked. I think it's just this build, as it was working previously.

    Why? It shows me all of the torrents including non-active ones that are doing nothing. The ones that are downloading or uploading show up in the active torrent category. So it's just less clutter, but anyway, I see the same activity that is not adding up to the right amount it's showing. I should say also that nothing is downloading when this is happening.
