I have found the solution and it depends on a capital or lower case "t". If one uses the link
"http://download.utorrent.com/3.1.2/utorrent.exe" the filw you get is Ver3.12 Build 26729'
If one instead uses the link
"http://download.utorrent.com/3.1.2/uTorrent.exe" then one gets the newly updated file.
There are obviously two different files on the server and one has a capital T the other older one doesn't and only one has been updated.
So I wasn't mad after all.

thefly: what are you talking about?
The download links may all point to the same file (due to support policies) but the files are NOT byte-identical to each other.
I have just re-downloaded the Ver 3.12 Build 26773 and I can assure that is identical to the one I downloaded of Version 3.12 Build 26729. is byte identical. I have several programmes that can doi this and they all give the same result.. No-one has yet addressed this very real issue. Unless the setup programme now downloads the its that changed from that Version from an online source. I have not run this new programme but keep a history of all the various releases.
I am not just talking that the Version 3.12 build 26773 executable has the Version 3.12 Build 26729 stamp on it but that is is very much identical byte by byte to the Build stated above.

Besides I've both looked at the signed version numbers and installed them and looked at the version numbers in the about box: they are all different version to version and the vertion in the installer and the version in the about box match.[/quote']
Then there is something funny happening with my ISP as I have downloaded with a different Software Download manager and still got the same executable identical byte for byte with Ver3.12 Build 26729.. Can't see what is happening. I can download new versions of every other software that uses the same link and get new Versions. This has only been happening with uTorrent since Build 26729.

Why are all versions of the setup files from Ver3.12 Build 26729 all the way to Ver3.12 Build 26773 absolutely identical files. Can anyone explain this?

I agree with Wolfsbane and Spriggan, that since 3.1.2.26729 the download link provided has not pointed to the newly updated Version. Still only getting this frozen Version. Please check the file on the server.

My original link with the lower case came from the first page of this thread. It was changed after Build 26729 with to an upper case T and I am supposed to notice that change. My Download Manager treats both links as identical and I must say I don't really know how I came to notice it myself.
