Magnet makes uTorrent crash

Recommended Posts

Hello! From yesterday i have a problem with uTorrent.

I usually use magnet links to download and i never had problems. Suddenly when I try to open an magnet link i have a message error form uTorrent:

"uTorrent has crashed. A crash dump has been saved as...."

 

I have 3.5.5 (build 45146) 32 bit version. I usually use Opera browser but the problem is the same with other browsers.

I have a Windows 7 laptop. 

 

Did anyone knows something about? Can You help me?

 

Thank You in advance!

What antivirus?

What firewall?

Avira Free / Windows Firewall.

 

Ad just to be more clear: when the messagge appears uTorrent doesn't crash actually, it keeps working, just doesn't start the new torrent.

Thank You

Do You have any suggestion on what the problem could be?

I use the same laptop, with the same  browser (I tried Opera, Chrome, Firefox and IE) and with the same uTorrent version, but suddenly the magnet links are not working.......

As a workaround, right-click>Copy (on a magnet link).

Then press uTorrents Add Torrent from URL button.

In the dialog box, right-click>Paste (or Ctrl+V to Paste).

Maybe that would work in the meantime.

Great job! It's working!

I had the same problem. 

It refused to load a torrent file manually (the RSS ones were working fine) and after restarting uT it would appear in the Hidden Label - I had to restart uT for it to show up in there.

I saved my settings and uninstalled and re-installed and it worked ok, so I re-added my settings files and the problem persisted.

So last night I closed uT and only deleted (after backing up) the settings.dat, settings.dat.old, resume.dat and resume.dat.old files and went through manually changing all the settings that I had before after restarting uT and it still works fine. 

I did have to use this page 

but even though some of the settings were already set to false, they still worked.

 

I remember noticing that some other old settings in Advanced had the * to indicate they had changed but they did not relate to the adverts. I guess I've been using this software since 2006 and maybe they were some old settings that are redundant? I still have those old settings.dat files so if you want to check them out I can send them to you. :)
