Build 74004 consistently hangs at launch for me (screenshot). Downgrading to 46986 works fine again (using Win11 x64 23H2).

I extracted the 47004 beta installer with 7zip and copied utorrent.exe to my ut appdata folder as usual (the dlls are the same). Then launched it and unfortunately it hangs every time, instead of self-updating.
 

Update: The latest build 47006 also hangs, but deleting resume.dat fixed the problem.

It was definitely changed.

Previously, when opening the installer via 7-zip, there were various files, among which there was always a Carrier.exe (~2 MB) with which I always replaced my installed uTorrent.exe .

In the 46148 version there's essentially only a GenericSetup.exe (10 MB), which apparently incorporates all relevant separate files of previous versions, and which cannot be further opened via 7-zip.

I attach screenshots of e.g. builds 46090 vs 46148 opened inside 7-zip :

How did you manage to get Windows 11?  And.. what do you think of it?

Simply downloaded ISO from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows11 (upgraded from win10 21h2).
No problems, working fine, and I like it a lot.

46104 crashes on launch on Windows 11 consistently for me. 
So, back to 46096.

Thank you.

You mean 46006 .

Could you please share a link for the non-LAA executable?
(I have tried all 3 stable links from this post sig, but they are all of 45988)

[3.5.x Beta]

With the latest version there's now a "Pro 25% Off!" in red color in the sidebar:

Is there a related entry in Options|Preferences|Advanced to disable it?

Edit:
I see that if I toggle "gui.show_plus_upsell_node" to false (via: Shift+F2>hidden advanced settings)
the entry gets hidden, but unfortunately it becomes true again when I restart utorrent.

PS. I also wanted to hide the "TronTV", but unfortunately it always reappears after a while, when I hide it via Options|Show TronTV (F8)

I was more referring to Virus Total's scanners which you edited out of the quoted sentence.

Ok, sorry, my misunderstanding.

Looks like a new false positive glitch, that M$ has just fixed ... Simple enough...

No, I meant that Defender didn't find anything , not yesterday nor today, when manually scanning the file.
Yesterday, it blocked and removed the running process, 
due its behavior, i.e. (most probably) that, right after I replaced the executable and ran it,
it created/modified the 4 registry keys for autorun+uninstall shown in the 2nd screenshot in the initial post.

[3.5.x Beta]

First of all thanks both for the responses.

too much "nanny-ing" these days instead of people using their own common sense.

@mike20021969That part was harsh and unnecessary...

Anyway, yes, the file's Digital Signature is intact.
I always check the file's Digital Signature (I don't check virustotal because I know that all utorrent build executables get, more or less, false positives in some of the antivirus engines it uses).

I always (close uTorrent and) just replace uTorrent.exe with the new executable. It's not like it's the first time I do that. In fact I've updated to all the recent beta builds that you've linked to.

But this time it was different: this was the first time Windows Defender blocked the running process itself and removed it ("this program is dangerous and executes commands from an attacker ") putting it in Quarantine.

My 1st screenshot above was the initial Defender notification, i.e. that the running process is "dangerous and executes commands from an attacker".
At that time I ignored it and just closed uTorrent.
But, as soon I tried to re-run it, I found that it had automatically quarantined it.
That's what it worried me the most, and so I asked for your opinion (otherwise I would just ignore it).

But, in general, if what you're suggesting is that,
as long as the Digital Signature is ok, to always ignore whatever alert your antivirus or firewall might notify you of,
then I'd say that, whatever the software might that be, it might be cases that the alert is indeed real (like the recent CCleaner case).

 

@rafi the Defender's definitions yesterday, were up-to-date at that point:

I just manually updated them to today's:

Scanning the executable doesn't find anything, as it did yesterday.

Windows version:

[3.5.x Beta]

Regarding the latest beta build 3.5.0.44284, Windows Defender (win 10) found its running process as "Trojan:Win32/Fuery.A!cl".
I simply replaced the beta 3.5.0.44278 uTorrent.exe with the new one, as always.
Never happened such thing before, with any beta or stable build.
I guess it's just false positive, but could we please confirm ?

 

 

[µTorrent 3.3 Stable]

yes

Thanks.

µTorrent 3.3: Performance and streamlining headline list of improvements

...

Finally, we made a few bug fixes including a fix that noticeably speeds up the rendering of magnet links.

One question:

"speed up the rendering of magnet links" means that the torrent information is now retrieved faster?

[µTorrent 3.1.2 stable (26821)]

I would say that adding a magnet link should be automatically followed by loading the torrent file itself. Thus, problem solved...

+1

[µTorrent 3.1.2 stable (26821)]

One thing about the "Completed" category in the utorrent's interface main window:

apart from the finished/seeding torrents

it also displays the items that have been loaded as magnet links and are not started (their status: Stopped 0.0%).

I've noticed this in all latest utorrent releases.

[µTorrent 3.0 (32-bit) Stable Release]

One little issue:

in the torrent job list,

when you press ctrl+'+' in order to auto-fit the columns

the columns Health, Rating and Playback

don't get resized properly, they're shrunk more than it should.

Currently:

How it should be:

[µTorrent 3.0 64-bit experimental 25570]

On both my screenshots, on the bottom left, in the 'Physical Memory' panel

it shows: System Cache: 55.7 GB !!

PS. Normally it's around 1.5GB

[µTorrent 3.0 64-bit experimental 25570]

I've tried the new build (24767) in win7x64 (with 4GB ram):

when I finished downloading a 4.5gb torrent

and right-clicked on it and pressed "Force Re-check",

then during the rechecking, utorrent gradually reached more and more memory,

till it reached using the WHOLE system memory (see link1 below) and the system hang (I could barely use the mouse)

This continued until: either checking finishes or if I exit utorrent;

then memory usage immediately drops to normal, around 1.2GB (see link2 below)

Screenshots of total physical memory usage using process hacker:

before pressing "force re-check" (1.23 GB)

and during re-check: (3.7 GB!!)

Also, clicking on the Apps tab makes utorrent crash.
