  1. ICleolion:

    I just want to set the upload/download limits in uTorrent without loading the full WebUI up and manually clicking into the settings.

    If anyone knows javascript fairly well it is probally an easy thing to do.

  2. Does anyone know how to make a bookmarklet for Firefox that limits the upload/download rates using the webui backend in uTorrent?

    I wrote the code below, and it sorta works but you have to login normally first (ie, the username/password part of the URL doesnt work). I tried using XMLHttpRequest, but it doesnt work cause the security settings dont allow you to fetch pages from different domains (ie it doesnt allow cross site scripting).

    javascript:(function() 
    var w1 = window.open('http://username:password@hostname:port/gui/?action=setsetting&s=max_ul_rate&v=1');
    w1.close();
    w1 = window.open('http://username:password@hostname:port/gui/?action=setsetting&s=max_dl_rate&v=1');
    w1.close();
    })()

  3. I've been running bittorrent clients for years (and uTorrent for 3-4 months) and have never had to change the queue length once. :rolleyes:

    That sort of argument doesnt work. Saying "I'm so good, I know more than you and I've never had to change to queue length" doesnt do anyone any good.

  4. not useless, have you seen the many people requesting for those as they dont know how to right click? some even complain that right-clicking is just too much to do -.-

    Yup I was one of those lazy ones. In addition to the new buttons, clicking one tickbox in a highlighted list of files ticks/unticks all the files that are highlighted (its not in the changelog). This is the functionality a few of us were requesting to avoid right clicking...

    Now all it needs is Ctrl-A highlighting all the files.

  5. Has anyone given any thought to the fact that some people are colour blind?

    Differently shaped symbols are helpful.

    I'm not red-green colour blind thankfully, but a lot of people out there are supposedly.

    Apparantly only about 85% of ppl have normal vision (i.e. not some form of colour blindness, there are lots of types)

  6. Something that looks good and represents what µTorrent is all about (eg. BSH's bee = "for the swarm"). In case you have forgotten/don't know, Azureus used to have just a Comic Sans A as the logo, but they basically did a similar thing to this (though there was much less debate) and ended up with the frog which by now is quite recognizable. :)

    Thats because the frog is an Azureus frog (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dendrobates_azureus). I dont think there is an animal called "uTorrent", hence our dificulties.

  7. Would someone be so accommodating as to post a link to an explanation of Peer Exchange? My web search talents are nil and usually lead only to red herrings, and this was no exception. Thanks for any assistance.

    This azureus wiki page has a good explaination:

    There is a thread here that has a lot of discussion about it too:
