artielange Posted December 9, 2006 Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 I have used Utorrent on a number of machines for some time w/o difficulty.One one machine, I've suddenly seen this error with every torrent I start to use whic apparently is not allowing me to connect to the torrent:The eerror reads "logon failure: unknown password or username" even though I'm downloading, e.g., movie trailers from bittorrent.com which don't require passwords. I've unistalled and re-installed, clean-booted and it seems that utorrent has now stopped functioning.I've searched for "logon failure" as that is the message that pops up from utorrent and I can't find anything on the message boards.Any advice?ThanksArtie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted December 9, 2006 Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 µTorrent has no such error in it, so I assume this is either a tracker error or a Windows error. Where is it showing up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artielange Posted December 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 Thanks, it must be a tracker error, but it is with seemingly EVERY torrent I try to d/l and the same torrents work fine on another machine in my home.It pops up as an error message from the utorrent icon in the bottom right corner of my system even when the program file is maximized.

Ultima Posted December 9, 2006 Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 Yah still looks like a tracker issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artielange Posted December 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 It happens with EVERY torrent I try, not just torrents from trackers that would be p/w protected. For example, a file from bittorrent.com gives the message below in a popup box in the lower right corner but also in the status field in utorrent:Error: Logon failure: unknown username or bad password.The same file downloads to another install of utorrent on another computer in my network.

Firon Posted December 9, 2006 Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 Where are you saving your torrent data? And for that matter, where is the .torrent data stored?Sounds like you're trying to save something across the network without the proper login credentials.

artielange Posted December 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 Firon, you, sir, are a genius...not logged into the file, which should be automated but something failed.Many thanks to all for the help. Greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted December 9, 2006 Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 Odd that the error would come in a bubble from the µTorrent tray icon though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
