  1. I would also like to know how to make uTorrent install itself for all users into Program Files instead of installing into my profile in AppData.

    Move the entire folder to where you prefer it be so it becomes an "encapsulated installation".

  2. if I "move" a 20Mb torrent within uTorrent 3x it takes 5 minutes. If I simply copy the folder using explorer it takes 5 seconds (+time to re-point uTorrent)

    Windows Explorer does not "move" files between directories, it simply changes the pointers to the file in the file allocation table for FAT32 or the Master File Table and index for NTFS.

    When uTorrent relocates a torrent it has to reconstruct the pieces one by one.

  3. You throw up your hands too easily.
    Wrong again, so stop making silly assumptions please. Before I gave up being a wage slave I was the who was prepared to say what everyone else was thinking, my immediate boss stated that they were never in doubt what I thought in meetings because "I treated everybody with the same disrepect".
    In this case, maybe some dev put in the minimum width on the left panel "just because," without any real specific reason, but just because he thought it should have one. If there was no real solid reason, maybe he'll read our comments about it and think, "Y'know what? There's really no reason for that, so I'll just take it out." And then my problem is solved.

    Sure if you were in a discussion regarding the design or specification directly, but you are not. uTorrent design and development is NOT a democratic process, things will ONLY change if, and when bitTorrent management decide. Change on this will not be effected with rhetoric, only rebellion,

    And, please if you are going to misquote me, try to get closer to what I said, which was.

    As I've said before, you are not 'married' to one particular client, if you don't like what is happening, CHANGE TO A DIFFERENT ONE.

    That is making a choice, not giving up.

  4. You really do sound mad, son. Also, like one of those apologists that many corps lately have for free,

    Well, I can assure you that I am neither an apologist for anyone or 'angry' about anything, least of all a bittorrent client that I have no control over or people that I do not know or care about.

    I simply 'speak my mind' and if others cannot handle it, that is not really my problem. I maintain the opinion of there being two knds of problems:

    Some that can be fixed and some that can't and neither should become an issue. You simply fix the ones you can and don't worry about the others. For this instance problems with a BitTorrent client are easily fixed by using a different one, and in that respect that probably DOES make me smarter, because I don't waste my time complaining about things that I have no control over, I make the smart choice of using something different that is without those attendant problems.

  5. and then finally by saying "If you don't like it just leave." It's like you're personally invested in this thing, and you're offended that some of us don't like it.

    Nope I have no involvement at all, but instead of complaining, which will make no difference to the people who make the decisions, stop using the client, because that is the only action that will drive the message of disatisfaction home.

  6. You sound angry.
    Nope, just puzzled, If it was something that somebody spent all day using or looking at I could understand it, but it isn't. The GUI is simply a easy way to configure the bit that does the work.

    If you use RSS feeds you may never need to even look at the GUI from one day to the next, I've been at my PC most of today coding a .net app and I've not looked a either Bittorrent client I have running, once.

    Also why is it that people take forum posts as being personal??

    I don't know you, you don't know me, so neither one of us is of any importance in the life of the other, so how is it that putting heavy emphasis on a few words that are there for one and all to read, "shouting" at you in particular??

  7. I'm failing to see why you have this huge chip on your collective shoulders about in client advertising. BitTorrent as a company have the right to create an "income stream" from wherever they wish and the piffle about the company accounts is misleading. The BitTorrent and uTorrent clients are NOT the only products that are bringing in revenue to BitTorrent Inc NEITHER are they the only products that need to be supported from that revenue.

    As I've said before, you are not 'married' to one particular client, if you don't like what is happening, CHANGE TO A DIFFERENT ONE.

  8. Well I don't see any difference in width of the sidebar when it is at minimum width. and comparing a screen shot I have it looks more like it is the left side status bar panel that has moved and is making it appear that the sidebar has reduced in minimum width.

    http://ciaobaby.info/screenshots/utorrent/3.3.0/phantom-job.jpg is a unscaled screen shot (taken at 1280x1024) of ver 3.3.0.29544 for comparison.

  9. The min. category list pane width expanded another 20 px. Soon we can concentrate on full-size advertisements and ignore trifling torrent job details altogether as they're displaced off screen.

    Yep' date=' that's enough for me to say "no" to updating. Thanks for the heads up.[/quote']

    Because of an extra 20pixels (possibly) in a panel that is actually "draggable" to adjust it's width in any case??

  10. Maybe there are none, and it was released with no changes at all. (Yeah right I know, not likely to happen, EVER)

    But yes I stand corrected, no changelog reported for build 29756.

    And I humbly appologise to the assembled masses.

  11. 3.4 may have some way to go to even reach beta.

    I loaded up a magnet yesterday with a 4MB payload, qBit........ downloaded it to completion in 4m 36s, uTorrent 3.4.29741 hasn't even got the metadata 16 hours later.

    The jobs were not running simultaneously, so peers had to be found on the Internet for both clients.

  12. but even if it's selected, no info is shown in the tabs until you select it again in the list.

    That's because, in a list view control, a list item does NOT receive focus until actually selected (not the same as simply being highlighted), that's a "Windows thing" not a uTorrent thing.
