Simply downloaded ISO from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows11 (upgraded from win10 21h2).
No problems, working fine, and I like it a lot.
 

 

THANKS Darkred!  I just installed Windows 11, and it looks very smooth and error free to me so far.  Ironically, it was easier to update Windows 10 to Windows 11 than it was to do updates between versions of Windows 10!

New/updated 3.5.5 46112 beta (not crashing this time arround...)

Latest Stable and Beta with LAA flag - for using >2GB with x64 Windows - >uTorrent EXE with LAA Flag< or >from Here<

Can you make your old versions available? Maybe some people like me would need a specific version (for testing etc...). Thanks.

It is now November 20th.

Why have their been no posts about Betas since October 17?  There used to be posts every DAY!

Free software lacks the financial incentive for development.
Throw in that the product already works well, and regular betas aren't as important as perhaps they once were.

The "free" version is loaded with advertising, and there is also a paid version.

If you think this program doesn't have serious bugs, you haven't used it long. 

Even if you forget about bugs..   it is still compiled as 32 bit - which limits how much memory it has access to.  It needs to join the 21st century and be compiled as 64 bit.

Ok, since it has been so quiet here for so long, I will repeat a "bug" complaint I've made before:  when uT is launched without any torrent jobs in the main pane then the LOGGER tab pane below is empty and "locked" - no info will display there EVER until a torent job is added.  It's some sort of initalization bug.  Minor I know, but if you need something to fix...  Thanks in advance!

BTW, I've used uT for YEARS now and never once have I seen an ad - it is certainly not "loaded with advertising".    Even a novice can do a little research and stop that nuisance from happening,  Rafi's Best Practices and Tips thread is the place to start, that's where I began and I recommend all curious uT users to start there to learn the ins-and-outs of this highly customizable tool...or look elsewhere for a simpler solution, there are several alternatives available these days.  I still like uT the best, and this forum has always provided insights when I needed them...Thanks To All Participants!

This would be too much of an effort.

Plus, you can likely get older versions from plenty of other "oldversions" related hosting sites.

I have another "bug" to report, been present for a long time now.  If a mag link is particularly large it won't "get recognized" properly.  It seems the receive buffer for the link is of limited size, I'd guess about  2K chars.  In the past that was perfectly acceptable, but of late several indexing web sites have started to really enlarge mag links with a dozen or more trackers and they are getting pretty large.  They are often 4k or more characters long now...

Can you provide a link to an example big magnet from such site that fails, and the error logged? 

You are likely right, I think the buffer can hold 1k or 2k characters. I've seen this using  WebAPI, where I was in control, and could take care of shortening  the mag links .

Now, interestingly,   _IF_  uT is _NOT_ open then it will be opened and it _WILL_ will display the add-torrent dialog [tho it does appear truncated, with last tracker "seen" as "udp://tracker.theoks.net:6969/anno", note the "unce<cr-lf>" is missing as well as the additional trackers in the maglink].  However if uT is already up and running then it does nothing at all, ignoring the maglink handoff input [but it DID get it, as uT became top-most window and was activated].  So, buffer size issue...

Have you tried adding Torrent from URL... (Ctrl+U)? I cannot reproduce the bug when pasting the mag link into the dialog box. And, as you can see above, the entire tracker list has been included.

Running rafi's latest uTorrent.exe with LAA flag with minimally modified settings.dat also from rafi.

I didn't try pasting the maglink in manually via ctl-u, I let the system do the handoff, from Firefox to uT [the dde mechanism].  Perhaps it is a system deficiency, I do think it's "telling" that you get one behaviour when uT needs to be started-up and another when it's already running, the event messages are the same as I recall...

FWIW, my normal everyday method of starting a torrent is to copy JUST the hashid to the clipboard  and then paste that into uT via ctl-u, that way ONLY DHT gets used to find peers; works every time nice and neat with no middle-men...

BTW I'm running 46112 on W7 with no LAA flag...

Yeah, it could be a that, since magnet links are passed "via the command line", yes Win 7 could be trunc'ing the link.  As I recall the limit for a true command line is about 8K chars.  I'm not sure about a drag-n-drop command or a DDE command message.

I did try pasting that full link into ctl-U and it worked fine, as you said.

Since the case where uT is NOT yet running does work acceptably, tho truncated,  it seems to point in that direction.

But the case where it's already running and it just ignores the hand-off isn't right, it ought to take the mag link and use it, if truncated then so be it.  It should be consistant at least...

You cannot be sure if the link is not passed well, or not processed well. See:

"you become subject to the INTERNET_MAX_URL_LENGTH (around 2048) command line length limit " + https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/maximum-url-length-is-2-083-characters-in-internet-explorer-174e7c8a-6666-f4e0-6fd6-908b53c12246 that can explains why uT is not accepting ~2800 magnet size from this example: https://bitsearch.to/torrents/adam-baldych-2021-poetry-flac-ea05b/61a7a3773ac57ae5542e197c/

It was definitely changed.

Previously, when opening the installer via 7-zip, there were various files, among which there was always a Carrier.exe (~2 MB) with which I always replaced my installed uTorrent.exe .

In the 46148 version there's essentially only a GenericSetup.exe (10 MB), which apparently incorporates all relevant separate files of previous versions, and which cannot be further opened via 7-zip.

I attach screenshots of e.g. builds 46090 vs 46148 opened inside 7-zip :

Ah. You are talking about stable release. It is different. This topic is about beta. Still you can get all files you are looking in the temp directory. Launch stable installer, check all files unpacked in the windows %temp% directory. Do whatever you are doing with them. Stop installer.
