thunderStorm Posted September 28, 2019 Report Share Posted September 28, 2019 How can I fix this error message and install current version? Does it support XP? Help! I've got no utorrent at all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike20021969 Posted September 29, 2019 Report Share Posted September 29, 2019 μTorrent 3.5.5.45339 or greater appears now not to work on Windows XP. (Incidentally, BitTorrent 7.10.5.45356 or greater appears now not to work on Windows XP). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thunderStorm Posted September 29, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2019 I got conflicting messages on what version it was,two different numbers showing in two different places, but looks like maybe an update took place, which then became inopperative for XP...just would not open no matter how many attempts I would make, by what route.. then re-installation kept failing as well.. it has installed onto my laptop, which has '10...but this old PC is my main station and more convenient to torrent here..

mike20021969 Posted September 29, 2019 Report Share Posted September 29, 2019 I'm waiting on a BitTorrent team member to confirm regarding Windows XP, but in the meantime use μTorrent 3.5.5.45335 or less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafi Posted September 29, 2019 Report Share Posted September 29, 2019 According to the devs, uTorrent is no longer supported on XP. Last version Last version I know that runs on XP is 45309 .

Let me correct you then - it's 3.5.5.45335 (although it downloads something called BitTorrent Speed which doesn't appear to work with Windows XP - not that I want that feature anyway). For me, I'm sticking with 3.5.5.45311 (Stable) which doesn't download it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from downloading something that's not needed, I don't know. What I do know is that you don't need BitTorrent Speed. TorrentFreak tested it and found it makes no difference to the download speeds. Quote While the torrent speed would no doubt have gained momentum as more seeds and peers were found, switching the toggle back and forth didn’t seem to make much difference to actual download speeds in the client. Occasionally, pressing the button from off to on did increase the download speed but at times, switching the toggle the other way also had the same effect.
