That is fixed in the latest builds of 3.2.2

Just run a "side by side" test on uTorrent 3.2.2.28407 and BitTorrent 7.7.27987. Loaded the same torrent file then started them, obviously a few seconds apart to switch GUI focus. The same dead trackers have been pruned from both clients, DHT and PeX are enabled and working After 32m uTorrent is showing availabilty of 0.000 while Bt has availability 8.474 and is 51% complete of 291 MB. The swarm counts are identical, but there is no sense or reason for the disparity in connections, queue and bandwidth settings are the same for the purposes of the test and all other jobs are stopped. bt shows: Seeds: 7 of 25 connected (10 in swarm) Peers: 1 of 15 connected (4 in swarm) uT shows: Seeds: 0 of 1 connected (10 in swarm) Peers: 0 of 34 connected (4 in swarm) I'll run the same test with the same torrent some more times during the day (yeah I know! insanity is doing the same thing and expecting something different to happen) and screenshot the results, but the preliminary finding is pointing towards a problem with the uTorrent client and protocol handling.

It really depend on how they are checking the version numbers, and what parts are being used.if up to 3.2.1 is listed then 3.2.2 will not match so is a "banned client".

That's because the trackers haven't updated their "whitelist" Not really, the BitTorrent will try to get the 'rarer' (least available) pieces first, so your client is downloading and seeding these rare pieces to other peers, so until you have 20 or 30% you could be uploading at least as much as you are downloading. Maybe more, depending on what upload slots are free in the rest of the swarm. Putting these ast two points together, it is possibly your queue and bandwidth settings that are configured badly, which is allowing uTorrent to "run away" with your connection.

It doesn't have to be this bad though. I have to assume that you are not a developer and or are unaware of how collaberative software versioning systems and compilers operate. The build number is usually incremented each time the source code is compiled into an executable file(s), this enables a developer team to keep track of code changes and this number never "rolls back" if the changes that were made did not fix the problem and of course with several developers on a single project there may be several compilations done with each one representing a different part part or module of the codebase that was worked on by a team member, and the development team members may not even be on the same continent never mind in the same office or building. That is why it IS "beta" and believe you me, uTorrent has less bugs in their beta versions, than some others I have beta tested for over the years. You should try being MS registered and beta testing Windows versions (I don't do that anymore) and despite all the beta testing, bug reports and builds that "Longhorn" had, it STILL made it out of the door as Windows Vista! And then people had to PAY for the privilige of what amounted to large scale RC testing.

Just a heads up on 3.2.2.nnnnn on Windows 7 I've noticed on the past two or three automatic updates, the service is not shutting down "cleanly", so when it restarts, any downloads that were active drop into a invalid state and require rechecking, if there are more than a handful, Windows then throws up a WER message of "... is not responding" with the usual close or wait options.

Read BT's policy on peer to peer networking and VoIP. http://www.btplc.com/Responsiblebusiness/Ourstory/Sustainabilityreport/report/Bconnections/security/fairuse.aspx This information is always available from any ISP, you just have go and LOOK for it!

confirm Bug report is at http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?pid=689430 that is where to verify that the behaviour does exist given the same conditions.

That's the way it is with coding software. point a) No matter how much testing is done by developers or "alpha" tester they cannot cover every possible combination of operating systems and other application that the software has to share it's space with, or every possible hardware configuration that can exist. AND developers make the worst possible "test users" because when you have written something, you know what NOT to do, but end users try to do things that a developer wouldn't even consider possible to do with that particular application. Same with "bugs" and "bug fixes". A real "bug" is something that happens given a certain set of circumstances that the developer had not considered could happen. And if "beta" releases were "better" they would NOT be a beta, they would be a "release candidate" or "stable" versions.

Correct. Incorrect.Your client is no longer supported and this thread is enquiring WHY people prefer to run an older, unsupported client and the reasons.

Just covering all the angles to help isolate the problem for the developers. The more information that can be provided on what is occuring, the easier it is to find what is the cause.

Select/deselect bug report at http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?pid=689430

Just tested the select/deselect and the client IS NOT honouring the file selection. Definite bug.

On the font issue, Do you have any translations loaded?

Are the deselected files in pieces that are required for other files? Set the "First piece" column visible on the files tab to see where they overlap. http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=125580

The date on the "Add Dialogue" is the torrent creation date NOT the current date, and "1/1/1970" is the Linux/Unix epoch date that equates to a date serial number of 0. What you are seeing indicates a problem on the BitTorrent client that originally created the torrent. I am using the same build on Windows 7 and do not see any font problems, how, when and where does this manifest itself? Similarly with the Sys Tray icon click. In Preferences -> UI Setting are both: [] Single click on tray icon to open. [] Always activate when clicked Checked?

And why are you aking about BitComet at the uTorrent support forum?

Maybe asking the question on the BitTorrent support forum would get you an answer to that.

By the way The long delay is to be fixed in some future release.

The speed of the magnet metadata populating the dialogue depends on how many peers with that particular torrent can be contacted, connected to your client and the data downloaded. The bugfix was to correct the automatically start behaviour http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?pid=672130#p672130

Or of course you could right click the button and choose that option. Or delete BOTH the data AND the .torrent file at the same time

Or you could right click the "Red X" and choose which option you want to do.

:D

Would you ever need/want to leave the same comment and rating for TWO DIFFERENT torrents before deleting them?

Stopping the torrents that need re-checking, then re-starting them individually, so only one torrent is queued for checking at any one time, cured the "Not Responding" that occured for me with 3.2 on an all too frequent basis.
