  1. I don't know if I have skipped files with this particular build of uTorrent, but I've certainly done that, be that a torrent of hundreds of songs from which I only want 1 (one) song etc. it always worked as it was supposed to. If I ever had such problems with uTorrent, that it wouldn't perform essential operations, I would have switched it for another client in a heartbeat. At least until they would've solved the problem.
  2. The thing is, now that you mention other people's problems with uTorrent bugs, I myself don't have any problems whatsoever, at least I haven't noticed any. Every uTorrent version that I used until now over the years, including these countless 3.1.2 builds, worked just fine for me - they get me the torrents I download without any hassle - no disk caching issues, no memory leaks, nothing - they all work the same for me. If they have/had any bugs (and they certainly must have), they didn't affect me in any way that I would notice. That being said, the only thing that "bugs" me are these numerous updates, which affect my system in the way I mentioned before. I don't know why uTorrent, when it is freshly installed or updated, works slowly on my system, as if I started Photoshop or some other system hog, and not a 723KB exe file. After a while, it settles and works normally, as if it needs some time (a day or two) to literally settle down. I also don't know what the AV keeps scanning upon updating, but it obviously isn't uTorrent folder(s) because the scanning lasts long and slows down everything. It stops when I exit uTorrent. When I start it again, it resumes. So, if you ask me, the only bug I've experienced with uTorrent, is that upon update it renders my system slow for a while. I don't know exactly how long it lasts or what's going on, but it bothers me, because otherwise everything is fine, and then comes the uTorrent update, hogging my system as if I was running full system scan in the background (which I never do). And there you have it, some people have real problems for which they count on updates to solve them, and I have no problems except the updates themselves which affect my system in a strange way. Go figure...
  3. No, because my AV NEVER acts up, except with your crappy updates. And uTorrent itself is unresponsive for a long while, as if I'm running Pentium I 200MHz with 16MB RAM. AV is Sophos Endpoint Security, and it never runs scans out of the blue for no apparent reason. Something is triggering it from uTorrent, I just don't know what it is. FireFox is installed in Program Files, and it pushes updates itself automatically. You don't even know it's been updated until next time you start it, it says "FireFox is applying your updates....". So, even though you certainly know more than me about these things, there you have an example of software being in Program Files folder and auto-updating itself. Therefore it's not impossible, as you've implied.
  4. I agree that this daily and sometimes twice a day updating of "stable" 3.1.2 is annoying to say the least! I will stand for one maybe two further updates, and if this continues, I'm downgrading. It's not just the updating that's annoying, it's that my antivirus goes crazy and starts scanning, and uTorrent itself becomes unresponsive for some time after the update. It's becoming unacceptable.
