Same OS, same firewall and settings on both.With the one having the 1.6 version i'm connectableThe one having 1.7.6 i cant get connectable. Any ideas?Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 ... both computers can't be running on the same port behind the same firewall. They'd require different ports to allow the port forwarding to go to the separate IPs:port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cla32 Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 Well i'm not running both machines at same time.As soon i'm deleting 1.7.6 version and go back to 1.6.1 version i'm connectable again.Not a biggie though as i seem to be able to DL and UL anyway, just irratating with the redlight being on all time.

DreadWingKnight Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 It doesn't matter if you're running both at the same time or not.If you have a port forwarded manually, it can ONLY forward to one machine at a time, regardless.Use different ports on different machines.The knee-jerk reaction of rolling back is not a solution to problems.

mr.underperson Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 Apologies for not reading the entire thread - it digressed. Bug: Every time I start 1.7.6, it asks me if I want to install uTorrent, and presents that dialog. Kinda annoying, as I have uTorrent starting automatically with Windows. I'm guessing it's because I keep it in my own location and it's too dumb to realize this.Previous versions showed this dialog only one time.-mu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 You can append the /NOINSTALL parameter. As I understood it this behaviour was only exhibited if you routinely start your uT from different locations.

Firon Posted January 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 and if you use a firewall, cla32, you need to remov eand re-add any rules once you upgrade to 1.7.6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cla32 Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 Well Firon i tried that, still same problem though.Looking at the firewall log theres some funky stuff there, starting from the first udate to 1.7.6. Could it be that i got some fake ver. since i did the update trough 1.6.1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajones81 Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 If you're worried about fake vers., simply download manually from this site!Your problem of being connectable with 1.6.x and not with 1.7.6, esp. with the same settings, is probably traceable to your firewall as Firon rightly pointed out. It probably recognises the old ver. but not the new one and so blocks the latter. Deleting all the uTorrent-related rules and recreating them for the new version should do the trick.

mr.underperson Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 Thanks jewelisheaven. I've since upgraded to the 1.8 alpha (I assumed that the update function was getting the latest version, but it gets the latest 'stable' version - I prefer the cutting edge) which doesn't display the dialog - and works great, too.For the record, my uTorrent has been launched from the same location since the first release, so there was no change on my part. Every version showed the dialog, 1.7.6 was the first version to *keep* showing it. But like I say, it's fixed again in the 1.8 alpha.-mups. the v1.8 application icon is also much improved!

ag87 Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 utorrent (1.7.6) is v nice Thanks for the good work!tried azureus, nice but keeps my cpu fan whining crazy when load is high, utorrent is *much* less cpu intensive.just a little feature request, wonder if it make sense to show the cache hits ratio under speed > read statistics, this could be useful to see if i need to increase the cache size.

Alneven Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 At me there is no problem with utorrent 1.6.1 build 490 on linux/debian with wine. No craches, no nothing.It's running since ~ 200 days.Now I need to upgrade to an other, not tested version on linux, because a lot of trackers banned that.Nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 You know.. in 1.8 there is extra stuff in the Alt-H-S stats pane.. you can SEE WHEN you started the uT instance You don't need to stop 1.6 right now.. if you don't trust it, run it as a secondary process on one tracker for starters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zief Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 1.6.1 is not affected by this exploit.munch - download and test yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alneven Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 But trackerowners banned it too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajones81 Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 Irrespective of whether it suffers from the exploit or not, or whether it's been banned by some trackers, the fact remain that 1.6.x is not supported any longer. Upgrade to 1.7.6 please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zief Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 Who needs support? I dont want to use app developed with such errors so I stay with 161 - just dont spread info that its also affected. Affected are only new 1.7 series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 Do you know WHY it's not affected? 1.6 doesn't support the extensions. 1.6 is deprecated and old and undoubtedly has other exploits. It is indeed your choice to not upgrade. 1.7 was stable for how long before anyone reported the error? No program is without errors.Edit: Since you're probably too lazy to see the initial bug report http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=34587 . Nowhere does ANY uT or BitTorrent, Inc. representative state this affects 1.6. Take your trolling / flaming / FUD elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zief Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 See 1st post in this topic.quote:"This crash bug affects 1.6.x, 1.7.x and 1.8 releases to date. No update will be released for those branches. Upgrading is strongly recommended."This is misinformation that caused many trackers to ban 161!

DreadWingKnight Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 So?It's misinformation that caused many trackers to ban 1.7.x. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zief Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 So that makes me think it was intentionally written - to force users to ugrade to new 1.7 series... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 It probably wasn't intentional, I'll need to check with the person who maintains the post.You need to keep in mind that there has been far more baseless accusations coming from the FUD factory that got 1.7.x banned from trackers.

Ryan Norton Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 Oh geez, this thing still. Listen, I already posted in the thread that the exploit didn't effect 1.6 line. I'm not sure how it happened it got posted that it effected that line.... guessing because we had to get the thing out so fast that there may have been some minor miscommunication there. And please don't post that link to the exploit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
