Amaturus Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 I posted this question on 2006-12-25 but I got no reply, whatsoever, so I'm trying again.Some time ago I installed an English version of µTorrent. Very regularly at the start and occasionally, lately, I get one of two error messages in the 'Status' column *in the language of my operating system* - not in English.One announces 'Wrong parameters' and the other says 'Invalid data'. Both of them cause a complete stop for the torrent involved and no attempt at all at recovery. Both of these happen in very specific circumstances: a) whenever I choose not to download parts of a torrent, and during the first 1 to 1.5% of the download. Never with a complete torrent, never past the first few parts of a download. Odd, no? Any ideas, anyone? (I'm thinking it's a C++ thing, but I'm not too familiar with the language).Additional info, w.r.t. original post:When I click on either message and tell it to 'start' again, it goes through the process of 'Checking... nn%' (whatever that means) and then proceeds to download. Mostly, if not always, without any problem.Anyone? Error messages in a language, foreign to uTorrent's install language? Qué? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 Are you on Windows 98? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 So you get non-English errors in the Status column on an instance of µTorrent that has its language preferences set to English? If so, then I can only guess that it's an OS issue (though I'm not entirely sure) :\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amaturus Posted March 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2007 Umm - this interface gives no information about whose reply I am replying to. So here goes for both of you. @Firon: yes, I am, W98SE, using *lots* of net related & timing critical software (Usenet, LimeWire, etc.), have been for years, no probs whatsoever. -- @Ultima:I think you may be right, of sorts - I've read quite a lot of messages on the 'net about uTorrent claiming to be W98 compatible, but showing quite some flaws in that respect. I am not complaining, mind. Once it's past the ~2% mark, it plows on like a charm. Provided I don't change anything to the status (skip or download) of the parts of the torrent I want to download, while it's working - that's rather touchy, apparently. Most of the time, this causes uT to stop. Not crash, just stop. A click on the green arrow sets things in motion again. But I still think it's odd. Both the alloglossic stuff and the fact that it's only happening during the first 1-2% of the download. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
