uTorrent & Vista RC1? critical issues for me,....

[d00by]

I am about to install Windws Vista RC1.

I came into this forum and saw some posts about uTorrent not working in Vista!

Is that true?

Also, I am downloading some files using Utorrent.

When I upgrade from XP Home SP2 to Vista RC1, will I be able to resume the unfinished downloads in Vista??

It works in Vista, but UPnP won't work.

When you upgrade, you may need to do this for it to keep your torrents/resume data.

Hi,

err... should I copy or move the appdata contents? Do i need the appdata contents after copying to a new location?

I don't use uPnp. I manually do port forwarding. Will that work in Vista RC1 also? Will the settisg be preserved?

I have utorrent.exe in my desktop directory. Can you explain what thie significance of utorrent contents in %appdata%?

So, when I upgrade to Vista, I should copy the contents of utorrent directory in %appdata% to Vista desktop?

Will it be less messy, if I transferred utorrent.exe and the appdata directory to my non-system E drive and then run uTorrent from there?

i.e. 1) I move utorrent directory from %appdata% to E:\utorrent and then move utorrent.exe to E:\uTorrent and then run uTorrent from that location?

Or do I need to keep the uTorrent directory in %appdata% folder?

If I can make the location of uTorrent OS independent that may cause less headaches when I upgrade to Vista RC1.

Is my post making any sense?

moving %appdata%/utorrent's content to utorrent.exe's folder doesnt work.. because the information in resume.dat points to wrong paths of the torrent files (utorrent still looks for the torrent files in the %appdata%/utorrent folder)

what i've come so far is to move all the settings and config files to utorrent.exe's folder - now the torrents are in %appdata%/utorrent (old OS's) and the setting files are in the utorrent folder.. it works great as long as u give write permission to both folders

and btw, utorrent works great for me under vista.. UPnP never worked for me under XP too - it maps to the wrong IP, but i dont care.. i'm still connectable, the icon is green, i get great speeds.. i dont need nothing more (except 1 more gig of ram to run vista smoothly )
