sztosz Posted November 27, 2005 Report Share Posted November 27, 2005 As for me it is best torrent client not for its ~100 Kb size (as for me it could be even 100 MB in it's size). I have loved it becouse it does not eat up tons of memmory, and it's simple GUI is also verry useful. I switched from azureus few days ago, and I was shocked that I didn't do it earlyer KEEP IT UP!

Ultima Posted November 27, 2005 Report Share Posted November 27, 2005 @sztosz: I agree. I love µTorrent simply because it does almost everything I could need from a BitTorrent client, and it does so with the greatest efficiency. It doesn't skimp on the features simply to keep the size down, but the size is still a plus. I'd use µTorrent even if it were 500KB (or whatever -- though I doubt it'll reach that size any time soon =P).@Stan:The extraneous stuff can already be disabled through the Preferences (DHT, ipfilter.dat), and "skinning" doesn't occur unless you place the tstatus.bmp/toolbar.bmp/certain-other-files in the %appdata%\uTorrent folder.If they have to comment out enough lines/blocks of code, maintaining two versions *will* get tedious. Develop one of the versions and then check the diffs? You still have to copy the code changes back into the other version. It's more work than it's worth, especially at the rate that µTorrent is being released (it seems like one release every 1 to 2 weeks). There have been several requests by people to make (just as you requested) a "lite" and "full" version of µTorrent, and I *think* I recall the devs saying it's a no go.

Stan Posted November 27, 2005 Report Share Posted November 27, 2005 well... If this were discussed before (I mean, if someone req something like this) and the dev say no, then we have nothing more to say...Can you point me where was that discussed, just to see (I did a seach) how was it?EDITI just found it...

rfabbro Posted November 27, 2005 Report Share Posted November 27, 2005 What happened to the popup menu item "Relocate file"? I don't know anothe way to keep seeding a file if I move it to a different folder.Could you bring it back?Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted November 27, 2005 Report Share Posted November 27, 2005 Don't you right click on a stopped torrent and go to "Set download location..."? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rfabbro Posted November 27, 2005 Report Share Posted November 27, 2005 No, that's not it. You use that to set the download location of the file you are about to download, not to "relocate" a file you already downloaded. I tried it (it was my first guess) and the download started again from zero instead of begining to seed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abbad0n Posted November 27, 2005 Report Share Posted November 27, 2005 No, he thought the command would move the completed files for him. Maybe it should be added to the FAQ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rfabbro Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 rfabbro, is it so hard to move the download files from the complete folder to where ever you want them to be Not hard at all...! Now that I moved the files... I need the "Relocate files" option to tell utorrent that the files are in this other folder. Get it?Is there another way of doing it?

Firon Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 No, you have to move the folder, and point µTorrent to said folder with the set download folder option in the context menu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to admit that now I tried again and it worked. Before posting my first message I had tried with another file and it didn't. So I guess the "set download folder" now does what "Relocate file" used to do, right?Anyway, thanks and sorry for the confusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 Yeah, the option was renamed, but it's the same thing. I didn't realize it'd been renamed until I had to use it today for some of my torrents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Azureus, it does the same for files, but for folders you point it at the folder containing the folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 You can rename the folder using that method, actually. Just rename the folder and point µTorrent at said renamed folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SShadow Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 I cannot get it to seed either. It looks like it is overwriting the files... :/ I've tried it every which way I can think of. And I am fairly sure that it is overwriting the files, because other ways I did it actually recreated the folder structure of the torrent in other places - which it didn't this time. *shrug* Looks like I am going to have to use two BT proggies until I am finished seeding this file. Grumble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SShadow Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 Ok, looks like I solved it. What I had to do was say NO when it said that it and found an already downloaded copy and did i want to use that data. It then recreated the folder structure in my "in progress" folder. I stopped the torrent and then copied the completed torrent files into the "in progress" folder and then did a force re-check on the torrent in uTorrent and then started the torrent again. It's now seeding.Soooo... It's good-bye Azereus and HEEEELooo uTorrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

splintax Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 Stan: Code can be integrated into a number of parts of the µT project.Removing say, DHT from the program would be much more complicated than commenting out one 'chunk' of code, I think.

TheDude Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 Hi !Am I missing something, or is there actually no way to view error messages ?I see ways to make it notify you that something is completed (something that does not require my intervention), but no way to make it nofity you that something is wrong.I wake up this morning and a torrent has a big red X, status "Error:..." (that's about the width of the column).Logger is blank.Tracker status: scrape ok (like other people who have posted, I find scraping of stopped torrents very useful - I've even recommended utorrent solely on the basis of that feature).I hope that I've missed something and there is a command to make error messages visible.

Ares Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 @TheDude: Try dragging the status column line a little to the right. What is the full error message? You can also double-click the column border at the top to make it auto-fit. Do this when your cursor changes into an arrow that looks something like this: <-|->If it says anything about Element not found, join me over at:http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=2869-Ares Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDude Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 Ares - any idea how to get the error messages to pop up on the tray icon ? Mine don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ares Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 @TheDude: First off, I believe it has to be minimized to the tray before it will pop up error messages. Regardless, if you resize the column, you should be able to read the full error message.If you don't get the whole dragging the column thing, watch this video:http://mysite.verizon.net/vze859dw/misc/ut-statusdrag.avi-Ares Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
