That is for telling the operating system to open (associate) .torrent files and magnet:// URNs with uTorrent, it will not affect icons or "shortcuts" to applications on the 'desktop', not unless you are storing the .torrent files on the desktop that is of course.

So you don't consider that the two are SYMPTOMS of possibly the same coding error? The visible effects of any erroneous condition are symptoms NOT the cause!!! Do you now get why I report what YOU think is insignificant? ANYTHING that shouldn't happen is indicative of a deeper underlying problem, whether it be in human beings or software. To draw an anology, having a 'mole' appear on your arm might be insignificant, but on the other hand it might just be an early indicator of a melanoma.

Confirmed! Got to laugh! When I posted about the same problem and this one in different builds, oddly enough your reaction was somewhat different.

No! The BitTorrent hashsum does NOT "map" to ANY amount of data, the twenty byte hashSUM value is a SIGNATURE ie; a value derived from the binary data values, it does NOT REPRESENT the data is any way shape or form. It is not hashed for cryptographic purposes, the data is hashed for VERIFICATION purposes, therefore CANNOT be used under ANY circumstance for data recovery Did you miss reading this sentence in post #4??

Firewall, AntiVirus or ISP blocking.

The two have absolutely nothing to do with each other.

Try scratching your left elbow with your left hand. But in computer terms breaking a Secure Hash Algorithm ver1 CAN be done for a few characters (less than 20) in several hundred CPU days. But brute force for five or six thousand 4 Mebibyte pieces???? There probably isn't enough processing power in the entire world to manage that in less than a couple of decades or so. Some things may not be impossible,...but are they praticable?

And do what with them?

You are still missing, or ignoring the fact that BitTorrent clients do NOT use or understand FILES and folders at the level you are considering. The file and directory structure is NOT important or even useful to a BitTorrent payload, neither is the SHA1 (or MD5) hash of a FILE. It is the underlying structure and byte sequence of the actual binary (or hexadecimal) data that BitTorrent clients understand and use and the hashsum in the metadata is the signature of an individual 1,2,4 or 8 MB PIECE of that binary data. Also each piece MAY contain the binary data of ONE, or MORE FILEs and a file may be split across SEVERAL PIECES. <<< read that bit <<< carefully, because that is where your idea falls apart totally with respect to BitTorrent.

No it can't, the meta data only has the piece size, the number of pieces and a hashsum signature of each of the pieces, and it is NOT a reversible encryption that could be used to rebuild the original data. NO BitTorrent client actually understands the file and directory structure of the payload, it is the operating systems that handles that, otherwise Windows clients would not be able to peer with Mac or Linux clients at all ... EVER simply because of the differences in the respective disc filing systems.

From the User Manual ..... 'effects' should be 'affects'.

Ok, for networking parlance the term would be 'remote' rather than 'distant', anyhow; is port 8080 forwarded at the router? And can you 'ping' the IP?

From inside your LAN or from outside via the Internet?

That point has been made before http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?pid=694370#p694370 (to little or no avail of course).

Turn OFF your 'sandboxing' application.

.

build 30131 "Set Destination Name" failing. logged errors:

Yes, Encapsulated installation in the User Manual for the How To.

3.0.8 and 3.0.9 are unaffected and being OpenSource (on GitHub) probably won't take too long to be fixed.

qbitTorrent 3.0.11 has far worse performance problem with finding peers, jobs stalling, hanging on shut down and interminable checking on restart, than uTorrent does currently, though to be fair the problems do seem to derive from libTorrent bug(s).

Version?? Build??

It's the "If it ain't broke. ..... Fix it 'til it is" principle

You move the downloaded exe file into the folder where your settings.dat file is, then it will not run the installer.

Pay attention during the install process and it won't, it is NOT a 'force' install you have the option to uncheck the "Yes I do want to try ... " and select " decline this offer" before pressing [Next].
