[SMF206]

Can you tell me what the benefits are regarding the 'DHT port message implementation' change?

[Greg Hazel]

SMF206: uTorrent never completely implemented DHT support. There was one missing (but relatively unimportant) feature where peers tell each other their UDP port for DHT contact. Some clients require this to even attempt a connection (uTorrent does not). So the benefit would be - other clients that support DHT will now attempt to contact uTorrent.

"- Change: Returned to listview for addtorrent dialog"

How come it was reverted? I thought the tree list was one of the most handy features of 1.7. Any chance of a option to switch between the two?

[Firon]

It's temporary. There was some problem with it, apparently, so it was removed. It's being remade and will be back in 1.8.

[slipstream]

sleepyenglish,

No chance, since the gui.addpre_uselistview option was removed as well.

Pretty odd decision :-/

Firon,

Ah, ok then =)

[PROXIMO]

10x god it is only temporary, I got used to it.

P.S. Please make some new water icons for the 1.8 beta they are nice but take much space I think

Latest version crashes regulary!!!!

[DreadWingKnight]

Only for specific people with specific programs installed.

[satisfied customer]

1.73 crashed three times in as many hours (windows XP)

I'm going to see if I can find 1.72 anywhere, because that worked fine.

[DreadWingKnight]

Well, nice of you to give us information that will help us troubleshoot.

[mouton1958]

since updating to 1.73 this evening it has crashed numerous times,like satisfied member 1.72 was perfect for the event required,i understand you always want to improve and upgrade, but it's listed as "stable" and for the moment it is anything but stable.

Hopefully you can fix it sap.

Good luck and DO keep up the good work as utorrent is about the best out there

[DreadWingKnight]

We can't fix it if you don't give us information that will help us fix it.

[avatarl]

Ah well, switched back to 1.7.2, will try a newer 1.7.3 build when it comes out.

[DreadWingKnight]

WE CAN'T FIX THIS IF YOU DON'T PROVIDE US WITH THE INFORMATION WE REQUIRE

[satisfied customer]

I have 1.7.2 back on. It works fine.

[DreadWingKnight]

The crash dump file, uploaded to webspace and a process explorer process list too.

[satisfied customer]

When it crashed for the third time I allowed µTorrent to send you the info it wanted to send.

If the crash dump file was in the µTorrent directory it's gone (I uninstalled 1.7.3 and reinstalled 1.7.2). Let me know if it's somewhere else and I'll send it to you.

Where can I find my process explorer list? I'll send that too.

I'll even reinstall 1.7.3 to repeat the crashes, once I'm sure about what to send you.

Bye
