(that you have to be right all the time)
Actually I have said several times that I am quite happy for it to be proved that my statements are incorrect, because it means that I have learned something and/or I have to re-examine what I thought I knew.
"Facts" need to proven, "opinions" are open to debate until they become demonstrable fact or are shown to be erroneus.
There is no "power struggle" as you put it, not from me anyway I have no wish or desire to be "Alpha male". it's simply than many here don't seem to accept discussion as being the norm for a forum.Whether you know it or not the power struggle hurts the integrity of the forums and people look for advise and help elsewhere! -
You never told me these,
Try READING the threads that TELL you what they are then!!
-
Yep! I've also got bored with letting you chase around the forums trying to find every little bit of bait I leave for you to jump on and think you have the upper hand
But it was fun while it lasted, so thanks for the few moments of amusement here and there, and have a stress free 2014

30429 was my last test for labels, and as uTorrent 3.4.0 has been removed and 3.3.2 will be following shortly as soon as I transfer over the last remaining job.
Anybody want a uTorrent archive?
From the 1.6 'in-town run-about' with low carbon footprint, through to the latest 3.4 'gas guzzler'
One owner from new
Serviced regularly
Used every day on short runs and long hauls
Very reliable (until recently)
Getting pi$$ed off forces sale.
No reasonable offer refused.
-
Only the "auto created" rules sort of work, and they cannot be edited to make them actually useful.
-
work on uTorrent never ends through billion of bugfixes. why's that?
Because the pace of "development" is so frenetic, no client has the opportunity to get truly stable before the next build is forked off source code that still has 'issues' that then spawn completely new symptoms.
V3.4 reaching RC stage before the added feature of "Labels" is even working never mind debugged is an example of the "more haste, less speed" syndrome that afflicts uTorrent currently.
-
A percentage of server requests not a percentage of requests by any particular client ID/IP.
-
And?????
Beta versions automatic updates occur slighty MORE frequently than stable versions do.
-
And you are surprised at that because????
http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=132018
And that HAS been the case since 2009
-
You think they might have made a mistake (this time)?...
With what??
-
Please! Fix labels!
'Fix' implies that it was working at one point. That's never been the case with 3.4
-
Still doesn't work in build 30444
Same here.

@rafi - my point is that the people who WANT those things are already *paying* for them in the PLUS version - if they did not include them in the free version' date=' then those who wanted them would *pay* for them. Including them for free does ZERO to increase any profits.[/quote']
Wrong "concept"...
Which is the wrong concept?
Giving away 'features' that are not particularly wanted by everyone doesn't increase profit or that people will pay for additional features that they do want?
Because if it is the latter, you are way off the mark on that, just ask Adobe or Microsoft. If users were not prepared to pay more for extended functionality there would not be multiple versions of their software products, each with a few more bells & whistles for a higher price tag.
Why would people [like myself] who do not use BitTorrent for downloading TV series or "block buster" movies want, or need "streaming"?
Having it in the client is just one more thing I have to turn off and to be honest I would pay for a stable client WITHOUT the extra unnecessary frills.
-
Not of resume.dat directly, but pointing the client to the existing payload location and dropping the .torrent files into the auto load folder, loads and rechecks the existing jobs with no problems at all.Import of uT resume.dat?!!!!ADDED:
If you have "append !ut" checked and partial files in the payload, turn it off first.
-
This client is in the very early stages but the dev is open for suggestions....http://bit.ly/1eycCIL
Been testing that client.
imports running jobs flawlessly
Memory footprint 5% smaller than uTorrent, but ~15% larger than qBittorrent
My guess some of it is from the Python (pyd) files.It's the Python 3.3 core that it installs locally and the wxWidgets DLL that make up much of the space.
-
I did NOT find 3.3.2 to be more stable than the version I am running.
There hasn't been a truly "stable" build of any V3 client as yet, the ridiculous pace of "development" makes sure of that.
-
That may well be, however releasing something as RC2 in the state it was, should grant some leeway. Whoever ran that build and didn't test it themselves clearly had to be under the influence of something.
Whomever decided that it is even worthy of a release candidate designation is clearly delusional, we have:
A "labels feature" that is not documented so cannot be tested, and is less than partially working.
A "portable" system that doesn't actually allow for completely self contained installations.
...
And so on.
-
Where can I re-download the latest beta that works? Somebody stick it on dropbox or some such, please
Unfortunately, doing that it is contrary to the forum rules.

Why is Avast! suddenly asking me for a "Mail Shield Security Exclusion" on a certificate for server 86.50.92.73 - message says:
Issued to: US,ST=CA,L=SanFransisco,O=BitTorrent,OU=uTorrent,CN=uTorrent
Issued by: US,ST=CA,L=SanFransisco,O=BitTorrent,OU=uTorrent,CN=uTorrent
Valid from 8/9/2012 to 8/29/2013
The certificate is not within its validity period
The certificate is not trusted
Someone please explain. Thanks.
Because it is now December.
I also notice in the LOGGER that it creates/stores a "Computer ID" - what/why is this? I do not like the idea of this at all .......All versions do and have for a very long while.

Second report on list display problems at >> http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=144752
-
The non-display of running jobs in the list is a startup problem it takes between 12 - 15 minutes after restarting the client and GUI before the list shows the appropriate number of tasks.
Regardless of whether the column aligment is "the same as 3.3.2" the simple fact is that it that is shows a lack of cohesion between developers. Which of course IS a primary purpose of a CVS, if "Git" projects can be cohesive with many, many unpaid and often unknown massively distributed developers creating forks and branches from the main source without fixed bugs reappearing days, weeks or months later why can't yours??
For the 'Status' and queue number ('#') it is logical for those to be centred (provided that gui,color_progress_bars it true for the status), likewise with the 'name' column being left aligned, but the rest are a mish-mash of alignments. Which suggests that the GUI designer only considered ONE arrangement of columns, rather than considering the fact that columns CAN and therefore WILL be re-arranged.
Minor point, ... Sure; but a point that demonstrates a lack of overall control and more importantly, a lack of quality control in the design & development process.
And on columns and QC.
The name column does NOT expand to accomodate the longest item on split point double click, other columns do.
Looks to me like quite common download buttonOkay, then explain to me why a "download" icon is logical or intuitive for a start action, considering that a job may be already completely downloaded when it is being started?
-
So I guess RC actually means Really Crap
Build 30429
ALL category and label counts are completely FUBARed
Examples:
Active (11) 5 showing in the job list
Completed (27) 21 in list or sometimes 14
Seeding (26) 21 in list ^^ same 21 as completed
Downloading (5) None in list
Linux Mint (1) sometimes the one running is in list ..... sometimes it isn't
The only count that is correct is the total number of jobs.
Above tested with "dont_count_slow... set at true and false No change.
Not shutting down is back. Waited 20 minutes, graceful_shutdown is set false.
"status" column is back at centre aligned
All other columns are randomly set at right or left align. column reset made no difference
Start icon now suggest it is a "Move to bottom" action.
Scrollbar on files tab flashing on and off
Scrollbar on info tab is displayed when NOT required.
Will this be now put back to an Alpha status because is this is a Release Candidate .... Windows Vista was Microsoft's finest OS release to date!
But on the bright side ... the network overhead pulse has gone away (for now) should we open a book on the build number it is going to return in?
-
I see the installer is ballooning/creeping up in size very nicely:
1.47 MB (1,551,440 bytes)
The "installer" and the running uTorrent exe file are one and the same file so any 'feature' added to uTorrent inevitably increases the size of the exe file.
Even changing the wording of a GUI object could affect the file size.

Now I couldn't let this slide when it arrived in my mailbox.
yet you accuse me of being arrogant, egotistical and elitist.
