javacatpaul Posted December 1, 2020 Report Share Posted December 1, 2020 "Enable protocol enhancements" setting causes settings variable "wallet_integration_enabled" to be set to true, which allows Tron and BitTorrent Token (BTT) to use BitTorrent Speed, a monetized exchange mechanism (you get "paid" for participating). The "W" is for Wallet. Search for "BitTorrent Speed" and read all about it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notmebug Posted December 2, 2020 Report Share Posted December 2, 2020 Thanks for all the replies! I was aware of the protocol enhancements and cryptocurrency stuff, but never actually enabled them. Mystery solved Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For seeding - yes , it can help avoid some HD access activities. Ah crap mine went down and would crash soon as it opened. Strange I was not sure what caused the problem to come back, I realized it upgrade to v3.5.5 45838 even though I had auto updates turned off the app updated itself somehow? I managed to download your 3.5.5 45838 -LAA .exe ver and re-patched and I am back up and running over a day with no crashing. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshace Posted December 6, 2020 Report Share Posted December 6, 2020 I'm now running the LAA version of 3.5.5 Beta build 45842 - and everything looks perfect so far. I did not have any crashes with 45838, but I did have some "not responding" problems which forced me to shut down and re-start. Here's an idea... if Utorrent is not responding for something like 10 minutes.. or half an hour.. it should automatically shut down and re-start (after saving the dat files).

joshace Posted December 6, 2020 Report Share Posted December 6, 2020 A strange problem! I've had this problem in the past, but it went away I was running 45838 with no significant problems but then updated to 45842... THEN I had the problem where any torrent I load that has one or more spaces in the name of the torrent (such as "Mary Poppins.torrent") gives me an error. That error can be fixed by either moving that torrent to the "automatically load .torrents from" directory OR by removing all spaces from the name of the torrent (to make it "MaryPoppins.torrent") OR by replacing the spaces with another character such as an "_" to make it "Mary_Poppins.torrent" The weird part is.. I tried going back to build 45838... but the problem now affects THAT version as well! So, I went back to 45842 again. So, I think something else is going on other than the EXE file itself that has caused this strange problem. It does not matter what the file names are INSIDE the torrent.. it's just a problem with the name of the torrent itself! WEIRD! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auto-update will set it back to w/o the LAA flag of course ... You should disable auto-update settings for both stable and betas (in this case).

rafi Posted December 6, 2020 Report Share Posted December 6, 2020 (edited) I observed a possible issue resulting from BEP-34 implementation (using alternative ports for UDP trackers) - ports are becoming in-accessible (and trackers show as down) due to mistakes registering correct port numbers in the tracker-site DNS TXT records. To workaround this - we need to set preference ->advanced->bt.use_dns_tracker_prefs = False (will take effect only for newly added torrents).

joshace Posted December 7, 2020 Report Share Posted December 7, 2020 The torrent files are not corrupt. I can take any torrent file name.. remove the spaces and they work. I can take any torrent file name with no spaces.. add a space.. and they generate errors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafi Posted December 7, 2020 Report Share Posted December 7, 2020 Well, as you can see it is only on your system, maybe the settings is corrupt... Try with a fresh (default) settings/install. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshace Posted December 7, 2020 Report Share Posted December 7, 2020 (edited) I found a fix for the "Space error" problem. I installed bittorrent (which choked on the dat files itself) but then opened up Utorrent again.. and re-associated torrent files with Utorrent.. and now it works.

joshace Posted December 7, 2020 Report Share Posted December 7, 2020 installing bittorrent, and then going back to utorrent fixed it. I don't notice that any changes have been made to the preferences, or advance preferences. A weird thing is that it was working find with 45838, but then had the problem when replaced the utorrent.exe file with the 45842 build.. and continued to have the problem when I went back to the 45838 build. I have a feeling that fixing it might be even easier than installing bittorrent (and then reverting to Utorrent). I think it might be possible that if I just UNassociated Utorrent with torrent files, and then re-associated Utorrent with torrent files, that would have fixed it. I think the fact that I installed bittorent was inconsequential. Anyway... I'm now running 45842 with the LAA flag set, and everything is working fine. If this problem shows up again, I will try the "unassociate" and "re-associate" theory. Should I remove my comments about this problem, since apparently nobody else has the problem? .. or maybe they do, but just don't comment about it? Bittorrent has some nasty problems of it's own.. that I don't want to be bothered with.. so I just stick with Utorrent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

javacatpaul Posted December 11, 2020 Report Share Posted December 11, 2020 (edited) one more thing, not to be a nudge... I have the tool to set the LAA flag [from ntcore named 4gb_patch.exe] and have used it before. when I use it on the orig carrier file from ex58 I get a diff file than from you; the tool sets the LAA flag AND ALSO UPDATES THE CHECKSUM in the second optional header [according to PE Deconstructor and WinMerge], but yours only set the LAA flag in the first header, the checksum remains unchanged. I'm not really sure what effect that actually has on the Windows loader, if it objects to the checksum missmatch or not; it clearly does launch the exe without an error dialog. I'm not even sure the 2nd header checksum actually even covers the first header, but the tool does update it, and that tool has been around for years and years, they must have had a reason for doing it, perhaps wrongly! Just thought I'd ask... ALSO... [ yeah, more ] both versions above do not verfy when examined by Process Explorer, which is expected since the image was changed and the bittorrent signature was not; totally expected...

rafi Posted December 11, 2020 Report Share Posted December 11, 2020 (edited) I am using another (newer) tool, that does not do that. No idea if that checksum you are talking about is needed. Maybe it is there for some compatibility with some older DOS loader? As long as it does not seem to effect anything, I'm fine w/o using it... I guess it cannot hurt to change the checksum too... ALSO, any modified version(s) is likely to fail some A/V checks, because of signature mismatch. Regardless of checksum validity...
