nonsense

Bah, that's too much work =P Anyway, when 27718 came out and changed how the Add New Torrent box looked, I downgraded to 3.1.3.27498, I've had enough of this silly tinkering of something that functioned and looked perfect for me.

Oooh I didn't know about that. I couldn't be bothered with DNS changing and VPN's so I thought online proxies were my only option and they tend to be slow, but that link is very quick. Thanks.

Oh right, I don't use any of those characters for torrents, so not an issue for moi ^^.

This is what I'm failing to understand, the single box functioned perfectly for my uses, so it'd also be good to know what problems people experienced with the single box UI for the developers to decide it needed changing. I don't use magnets anymore since TPB was blocked in the UK (I know there are work arounds but I can't be bothered unless I want something they only have) so I can't comment on that. What constitutes as illegal characters? I don't remember having any issues with using "-" or "( )". The only issue which was fixed with this release was the chinese characters thing, so again no idea on that issue. Yeah, I read the "." solution somewhere thinking all that did was just change the folder name to the most minimal thing possible but actually kept the folder. I just tried it with a torrent and now know not think someone would be so stupid so suggest something like that. Sure it works, but similar to what you said, there's still the issue of not being able to identify the torrent very easily in uT itself and it's time consuming to find the torrent (unless you've only got a couple of torrents) and change the name. I'm prepared to wait, as I said before, this particular change isn't a major issue for me but if this two box UI continues to throw up problems, I'll be reverting back to 3.1, which is also annoying as I hate using older versions of software, makes me feel like I'm missing out.

What basic ability is that? And what would be the name of that torrent if there is nothing in the "name" field? The ability to download files without the folder they come in, it's existed since I started using uTorrent (1.6 is the earliest I can think of but I know was using uT before then). Sure it's simple to just take the files out of the folder once the torrent has finished downloading, but for how I organise my files, it's annoying when you download torrents that have files packaged inside a folder that you don't need. Admittedly the majority of things I download are just video files with no folders so it's not a major issue for me, but it's still a change that will slow me down and annoy me when I do download such a torrent. The name would revert to the name of the torrent file. If the user wishes to change how the torrent is identified in uTorrent itself, they can change the name without affecting it's download location, like you've always been able to do. Or for time saving sake, introduce an option to add a label if the name field is left blank, I'm pretty sure that's been suggested already. Personally I'm not keen on that as it just takes up more space on the whole Add New Torrent box, but it's somewhat of a workaround. Like I said, it'd be nice to read an explanation as to why this two box UI is better as I must be missing something.

Why has this change been made? Now I'm forced to download a file/files in a folder when I don't want to. Seriously' date=' why can't you just go back to the single box dialogue of ye olde days? It worked and functioned perfectly. Does anyone know what the last stable version is where the dialogue box is the old style one?[/quote'] 3.1, I believe. You're not the only one who doesn't like this change. A few pages ago, some of us posted dialog mockups that would permit the old behavior. Yeah when it was first implemented I asked if there was a way to get the old style back but was told "no" as it's a change which falls into some sort of line with the rest of the program. I've gotten used to the two boxes, but it's always been buggy or had a behavioural problem, now they've changed something which I can't understand the reason for whatsoever. I mean if it was because of a bug, fine but otherwise, it's removing a basic ability and adding an annoyance when trying to download just the file/s without the folder. It'd be nice to hear a proper explanation from a developer as to what was wrong with the single box dialog and what advantages the two box dialog offers because so far there haven't been any in my experience, only problems.
