slayers Posted July 3, 2006 Report Share Posted July 3, 2006 I noticed that the new version changed the port to a different number. Was this intentional, or can I safely change it back to the port that I did all the port forwarding jazz about? (Or do I really need to do all of that again?)Is anyone having problems downloading from seeders? I've got a file at 99.7% for over 6h now with 500+ seeders but uTorrent doesn't connect to any... the download until that point was very fast (data came only from other peers though)Verdi, configure uT to what it was before. I don't think the change was intentional.blackspawn, check your uT port configuration to see if it changed. If your slowdown started with 1.6 that could be the reason.

Firon Posted July 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2006 It was indeed intentional. At one point in the betas, the default port of 32459 was disallowed and anyone using it had their port changed to a random one ('cause ISPs were throttling it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slayers Posted July 3, 2006 Report Share Posted July 3, 2006 Aha, smart move. It's remarkable to see that 32459 got popular because of uT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaoMao Posted July 3, 2006 Report Share Posted July 3, 2006 utorrent 1.6 is very wonderfull, but, for me need of one option for reset the statiscs (and i have very need of this option) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel-san Posted July 3, 2006 Report Share Posted July 3, 2006 I wonder what happened to the memory usage. In 1.5 and previous versions memory usage has always been below 10 MB. Usually 4-9 MB. Since 1.6 the memory usage has doubled to 14-25 MB. I'm a little worried about the future versions if this keeps going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted July 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2006 The memory use in the new version is the much improved disk cache. When you finish downloading, the memory use will drop down. Closing the window will also drop down the memory use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oxygenuk Posted July 3, 2006 Report Share Posted July 3, 2006 looks goodbut i cant use utorrent anymore because of NAT errors and other such errors which relate to my netgear dg834 router, and yes i have visited portforward.comi do the same settings with azureus and no problems with NAT or any other related errorsbut i may try this release, but im not expecting it to work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm connected to around 40 peers and 90% of them have the file at 99.7% like me.

Badsecurityforum Posted July 3, 2006 Report Share Posted July 3, 2006 Lies, i tell you. LIES(could also be that the seeder hasn't finished seeding 100%)This may be true for not so popular torrents.But he said there were 500 seeders, but the torrent did not complete.I have seen some torrents, which have a very good S/L ratio at the beginning. The ratio was even better than expected for a popular file. This already was suspicious. These torrents stall at 99,x% and all the 100% seeders mysteriously vanish from the list.Also suspicious are high numbers of outdated clients. I have seen fake torrents with many Azureus 2306 clients. Most of the time these peers are also from a rather narrow IP range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hirvine Posted July 3, 2006 Report Share Posted July 3, 2006 Hey there, just want say thx to download basrs. I think the 'Show download bar' is genius. A marvelous idea, never seen at another program. I even didn't knew that was possible, I thought Windows would prohibit it since you overlaps another display, but it seems I was wrong.Great, idea!Who came up with it, genius!Who implement it, you so rocks with programming I envy you!Weee, and µTorrent did it again. Still so, so small with so much features I can't believe that much features fits into that size. If it wasn't for µTorrent I did not believe it. Damn, the new world with all his terrabytes really ruined my sight of features and size. So good job µTorrent, I'm so happy I found you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sprocket1980 Posted July 4, 2006 Report Share Posted July 4, 2006 uTorrent 1.6 auto-updated for me yesterday and I'm now running build 474. I've noticed that I no longer have a green light in the task bar. Instead it is a yellow triangle. Placing my cursor over the icon produces this text: "No incoming connections. Unless the icon turns green, it could indicate a problem with your network configuration."When I click on the icon and run the "Test if port is forwarded properly" sure enough, it returns an error, saying the port does not appear to be open. When I check my router, the port (that uTorrent is currently configured for) is indeed forwarded correctly to my static IP, just like it was before the upgrade. The funny thing is, I'm still showing upload and download speeds on running torrents consistent with what they were before the upgrade. Anyone else experiencing this and, if so, how do I "fix" it?-- Sprocket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
