seekyoufind Posted January 19, 2008 Report Posted January 19, 2008 Curious about the remote crash aspect.. Seems to me that people were running something remotely that explicitly targeted and crashed systems running 1.75 or earlier. Anyone have anything conclusive on this? Reason I ask is I ran 1.75 forever and never had any issues with it. It stayed up for days (if not weeks) on end.. Never crashed. Also I pull from the same same sites all the time and I use to get really great speed. But about 5 months ago I notice that my torrent would not stay up it would get crashed which would essentially freeze my system. Then this started happening more and more and more frequent to the point it was going down every few hours. Also the speed at which I could pull down a well seeded, well peered 640MB file over this same time got slower and slower to the point it took days instead of a few hours.. I thought there was something wrong with my PC so I restored from image a copy of my pc from 6 months back, WELL before any of this started. Back when I KNOW utorrent ran great. No sooner then I get it back up I still see these problems.. so It leads me to believe that these crashes are being induced and probably from some kind of outside attack.. Any thoughts?But Now I no sooner install 1.7.6 and I find EVERYTHING is back to normal. It runs great, I am pulling the SAME content that had become a crawl with 1.75 and now that 640MB is downloaded in a couple hours not a couple days and no crashes.What is the explanation to all of this??
jewelisheaven Posted January 19, 2008 Report Posted January 19, 2008 I concur, incompatible software; Have you read through the FAQ lately? The remote crash was related to malformed clientids... if you were prone the FIRST time a per connected and you pulled up the Peers tab it would crash.
seekyoufind Posted January 19, 2008 Author Report Posted January 19, 2008 Well zone alarm Pro 7.0.462 . But I would add that the same firewall that is now running with utorrent 1.76 and it is fine. Also ZA was what I was running forever with ver 1.75 before it started flaking out on me. Though ZA then was 7.0.3 . I was just curious is all. After 5 months of crap this is running very very good now and I am happy. Just being a I.T. person I like to understand these problems and this is one that has had me confused for a while
