  1. I'm somewhAT baffled by this fuss over ads, I've been running 3.x.x since it was released, currently on 3.2.2.28110 and have yet to see an advert appear anywhere, nearest I've got to an advert is a "take a survey" (which was about BitTorrent) link that appeared in the main window header.

    added:

    Even before I set sponsored_torrent_offer_enabled to false they weren't appearing.

  2. I have just downloaded some files with the latest 3.2.1 28086 version of uTorrent. I deselected three texts files, but in the files section of uTorrent it says they have 100% downloaded and the bar is green, yet when I check in my download folder I have only got the files in there that I chose and no text files. So either uTorrent is giving false information or the files have been downloaded somewhere else, which is it.
    I have to assume that you do not have "Pre allocate all files"

    Probably the pieces that held the data for those files did not contain data for any other files, so were never requested, therefore the disc filing system has not created a reference to the file(s) that does not exist. The client marks them as complete because to all intents and purposes they are.

    I have to assume here that you do not have "Pre allocate all files" because if you do, all file references, whether downloaded or not, is allocated space, and therefore a filename in the disc filing system.

  3. No, only have one monitor. Also, left computer running last night and woke this morning to find the INSTAGRILLE advertisement back covering the uTorrent Plus ad to the bottom left of the program.

    Why not turn off the "Show Plus Information" ?

    Mine is off which is probably why I haven't seen ANY of this advertising that people are wittering on about.

  4. There is something that has improved the download/upload efficiency, I talked a friend who is a fully paid up and certified 'technophobe' through updating to the latest beta rather than stable version only updates, and he has had a noticeable speed increase also. He uses a different ISP to me and everything is set on the defaults.

  5. Windows 7 Ultimate - 3.2.1.28025

    Not seeing the maximise/restore behaviour tested using:

    window maximise/restore button;

    double click on window title bar;

    close GUI to tray/open from tray;

    exit client - restart client

    Window metrics remain unchanged in all cases.

    No featured content displayed - sponsored_torrent_offer_enabled set to false in build 28012.

  6. Social icon (fb & tw) in the status bar?

    Why? I hate that shit!

    PS: If you continue to add nonsense you have to change your slogan to: WAS a (very) tiny BitTorrent client. Please, keep only the core business in uT.

    The icons go away once you have clicked on them and visited the page and don't appear to come back, or that's what it did for me (3.2.1.27999)

  7. Going to put this out there again because it would be so easy to add and so useful, please add 'Open Containing Folder' in the WebUI. Thanks.

    Actually, that would NOT be that easy to do over HTTP (web) and probably not that useful for the majority of users.

    If you need (or want) to have remote file management why not just use VNC or enable RDP (Windows XP onwards) on your machine.

  8. I'm not completely sure of the reason
    That would usually be done to reduce the impact that hundreds of thousand of clients downloading updates at the same time will have on the update servers. I would think that staggering the updates is preferable to coding the client (for Windows at least) to use BITS (Background Intelligent Transfer Service) that Windows Update uses.
  9. Hi

    there is a problem when Checking for update from the uTorrent client interface:

    using the client "Help menu" -> "Check for Updates"

    ---------------------------

    µTorrent

    ---------------------------

    There is no new version available at this time.

    ---------------------------

    OK

    ---------------------------

    :/

    on the site the new stable version is 3.2. build 27886, (my client version is 3.2 build 27708).

    please fix this issue, thanks.

    I'm curious, why not simply download and install the latest version yourself?

  10. You are never going to get to what speed your line is capable of or rated at using ADSL/DSL, My connection is rated at 16mbps down 1.2mbps up but the maximum transfer I can get is 7.5 mbps down 0.74 mbps up (UK to UK nodes)

    Are you testing the transfer speed with local nodes or remote nodes? As a remote node test will be MUCH lower than local node tests are.

  11. Rafi please help me...

    I have 3.5Mbps up speed, and 0.5 down speed.

    3.5Mbps = 430KB/sec :) but i cant get more than 330KBs.

    Sure that's the right way around? Down capability is usually higher than the up capability. Also your 3.5 mbps that your ISP tells you, is a MAXIMUM that you can get UP TO, NOT the actual rate of transfer that you WILL get. There maybe up to fifty other people using that same 3.5mbps line, called a "contention ratio". you all cannot have 3.5mbps at the same time.
