Bug with non-removable label (http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?pid=623156#p623156, http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?pid=623190#p623190) still exists in RC7.

In addition to http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?pid=623156#p623156: I cut the label to 26 characters in BEncode Editor and this helps: mark on the label is back and can be removed (along with the label itself).

Sometimes torrent's label can't be removed by pressing Enter on this label (marked) in labels' list: the mark is gone but label still exists. Example: http://ifolder.ru/27381237

RC5 doesn't hang on startup but when started for the first time it looked like hang for a couple of minutes. I have even made a dump but then noticed that uT finally returned to life. And there's another trouble: it shows zero speeds in status bar though download and upload are in progress (real, non-zero download and upload speeds are shown in columns).

I have about 3500 torrents in list. 3.1 RC4 loads part of torrents on startup and then hangs. "Part" means 2300, 2500, 3050 or any other number of torrents - it changes with every try. No such issue with 3.0.26473.

Why PgUp, PgDn, Home, End keys don't work in label list anymore? They did in version 2.

Zarggg Legitimate torrenting is like alcohol-free beer. Or silicon woman.

I've just tried to move from 2.2.21738. The first thing that I'd like to report is that downloading isn't working at all. About 10 active torrents with a lot of seeders - and nothing for 10 hours. But I suppose I'm not the only one who noticed such a little problem so it do will be fixed. In latest 2.2.1 download works. New interface is terrible. That's it. Why do you guys keep changing it in every new version? What do you look for? I'm not very satisfied with 2.2's interface, but the new one is really bad. Huge buttons, too big font for torrents list... How do I remove a label from a torrent? Instead of "Remove label" there's "Set Primary" now (I didn't get what is it for). Tried to enter an empty new label, but it doesn't work, too. Why have you made download location path dependent on torrent's name? It's just annoying on "directory" torrents - but on "file" torrents it's a big trouble. Let's assume that we have a "file" torrent with short name. We want to place the file to a folder which name is torrent description, really long, 200 characters. No, we don't want to rename the file itself, we need its original name. Besides that, we'd like to rename a torrent to the same description - to make it easy to be found and identified in list. With version 2.2.21738, all above could be done. With version 3, we'll be forced to rename the file at best and get the path that is over 400 characters long in addition at worst.

OK, I wasn't going to describe my "technology" to handle torrents and its files - just didn't want to waste your time, but it seems to be necessary. I have 9 1,5 Tbytes HDDs with contents downloaded from trackers. Only 4 of them can be installed to my home server simultaneously. That's why I can't "stop moving your files out of the way". Besides that, it works in 24/7 mode, so it's a question of energy saving. But there IS the sense to have it loaded in the program. Firstly, I can at any time unmount one HDD and replace it with another (or just copy a folder with certain torrent contents from an "inactive" HDD to an "active" HDD). Secondly (and more actually), I keep them for history purposes. Why can't I "save a copy of the .torrent file with the files so I can reload it if or when I decide to seed them again"? How do you think is this a way to organize 1770 torrents keeping its original names? No way. So here's my technology. When I add a .torrent file to uT I copy corresponding topic's name to its label. When download is done I rename corresponding folder to the label's contents, rename torrent name in list, too, then remove label. So I don't want to lose all these changes by readding a torrent to list. I can't use labels to categorize torrents as archive - because there's no way to show "all torrents except having certain label", and completed torrents have to not have labels at all. When I want to watch a movie I can easily ascertain if it is on my server or I need to go for the box where my "inactive" HDDs stored: I'm looking for its name in list and if torrent status is Finished then the files are on an "inactive" HDD. Yes I've heard about WhereIsIt and use it but in practice it's easier and quicker to take a look at uT list than launching WhereIsIt. Definitely no. They will be broken if I'll try to seed them. But I expect it and will put the files back before I'll do. You have done a step in a direction that Windows and other M$ software is going for a long time. It's called "software as a good friend that will correct silly user's actions". And it's wrong way! The right one is "sofware as a slave that will do what user said to do regardless of he/she is silly or not". The user should have a possibility to take responsibility for his/her actions. That's the question of principle. Thank you for taken time.

But these torrents are FINISHED! Who cares if their files are in place or not? uT doesn't operate with them until torrent status' changing. What is unsane to check their availability on changing torrent status? I just see no sense... uT has had such a "method". And everything was fine. Until this so-called "bug" has been fixed after 21738. For me, your obstinacy in this question means that I'm forced to stay on 21738 regardless of any bugfixes or features in new builds. And that's really bad . I vote for an advanced option to control this behaviour! Everyone's invited to join me!

I'm using 2.2.21738 and have 1 Mbyte/s and more of both download and upload speeds (15 Mbit/s channel). So I believe there may be other reasons of bandwidth unutilization.

Firon, there are at least two of us (me and Nuker) who doesn't regard checking availability of files belong to "finished" torrents as a good idea. And I believe there are hundreds of users who will suffer from it silently. Nobody like to see any errors on screen. But now we should have see these red crosses if using uT's list as download history. Maybe it is worth to give us at least an advanced option to avoid it?

What am I doing wrong? Why does uTorrent need to check availability of files if corresponding torrent has "Finished" status? Let uTorrent check the availability when the status will be change to active, just like it previously did. Who needs the new behaviour, whom didn't suit the old one?

Is it possible to download previous betas, not the last one?

There's a very bad change made after build 21837, not mentioned in changelog. Previous builds didn't check availability of files for torrents with "Finished" status. I was able to change status of all torrents which files are on a certain HDD to "Finished", then replace this HDD with an empty one without these torrents' statuses being changed to "Error". Now I'm unable to do this. Please change the behaviour back. And another annoying thing. I have almost 2000 torrents in list, and when I exit uTorrent, it remains in memory for a very long time after its icon disappears from system tray. If I need to launch uTorrent again I'm forced to monitor task list. Can you please make the system tray icon disappearing only when uTorrent really gone from memory?

I want to report 2 bugs for 2.2.21738: 1. After adding a torrent it doesn't really start downloading: tracker status is "updating", and it may last for days. Restarting uTorrent helps here. So I have to restart uTorrent every time I add a new torrent there. I noticed that for a few last builds. 2. By automatic update, uTorrent closes its current instance, silently downloads and installs a new version, but doesn't run itself again. I have to monitor task list and run uTorrent when old instance disappears (it takes long time - almost 1800 torrents are in list...). uTorrent is running under limited account. Here's what I see in its folder: Directory of C:\Programs\uTorrent 04.09.2010 01:26 <DIR> . 04.09.2010 01:26 <DIR> .. 12.01.2010 23:21 256 806 utorrent.chm 04.09.2010 01:26 382 840 utorrent.exe 29.04.2010 12:24 321 328 utorrent.exe.10848.tmp 19.05.2010 03:50 322 352 utorrent.exe.11459.tmp 28.08.2010 00:24 383 352 utorrent.exe.11887.tmp 03.09.2010 00:40 382 840 utorrent.exe.12892.tmp 01.09.2010 22:20 382 840 utorrent.exe.16580.tmp 14.06.2010 20:58 324 912 utorrent.exe.18932.tmp 01.09.2010 00:53 382 840 utorrent.exe.1928.tmp 19.06.2010 21:28 324 912 utorrent.exe.1967.tmp 24.03.2010 14:51 318 768 utorrent.exe.205.tmp 22.08.2010 00:29 382 840 utorrent.exe.24606.tmp 03.07.2010 01:46 325 424 utorrent.exe.24934.tmp 27.03.2010 01:47 319 280 utorrent.exe.28083.tmp 06.03.2010 03:48 318 256 utorrent.exe.3257.tmp 17.08.2010 00:54 382 840 utorrent.exe.3906.tmp 11.04.2010 23:49 321 840 utorrent.exe.4172.tmp 03.07.2010 12:05 325 424 utorrent.exe.4241.tmp 18.04.2010 00:16 321 328 utorrent.exe.6423.tmp 10.07.2010 23:30 325 424 utorrent.exe.7105.tmp 25.03.2010 04:32 319 280 utorrent.exe.7961.tmp 01.04.2010 00:34 321 328 utorrent.exe.9984.tmp 22 File(s) 7 447 054 bytes 2 Dir(s) 1 320 214 528 bytes freeuTorrent doesn't clean tmp files.
