Is this something I should be concerned about?

Awfully lots of Hash fails in the Logger.

1st and 2nd link in my signature.

1st one is for troubleshooting, and tells you what information you'll need to give us if the problem isn't solved quickly.

2nd link gives suggested settings for uTorrent based on your max sustainable UPLOAD speed.

NOTE: Max sustainable UPLOAD speed is nowhere near max download speed for almost every internet connection in existence.

You also probably need to use ipfilter.dat to block the peers/seeds sending you innumerable hash fails. uTorrent's FAQ tells how.

Are the IPs in the same range (12.34.55.66, 12.34.66.77, 12.34.77.88, etc)? Does it happen with the default testing torrents?

Hello littlefire. I'm sorry but I closed uTorrent before I posted here.

Uhm... tracker announce URLs which report peers aren't usually fake. They are called "announce URLs" because it ends in announce, so the first example would be correct IF the tracker entry was "http://inferno.demonoid.com:3410/announce"

FakeFinder probably goes by INFOHASH, which you can see and copy (by right-clicking in the correct place in the General tab) to search better. Most often either the torrent is a honeypot (fake content), they add useless peers (to use up connection slots), or peers which send bad data (less common these days since clients ban on bad data now). Next time you should check out WHICH peers send bad data by looking in the logger tab. ALSO you can have it enabled by default if you don't think you'll remember next time by adding "/LOGFILE 'path\to\logfile.log'" at the end of the launch arguments for utorrent.exe (You do not need to have "" or '', but you MUST have them outside the "" for the path\to\utorrent.exe

Also littlefire, how do I use the... /LOGILE "path"? Do I need it, since the logger is on by default?

[thelittlefire]

/LOGFILE allows you to KEEP the log data in a file from startup, instead of you having to remember to start it after running to CAPTURE those IPs you mentioned "banned X.X.X.X"

I'm not sure you're clear on what trackers show up in uTorrent on the Trackers tab. Just because a torrent is listed on TPB doesn't mean it's tracker is/isn't listed in the torrent. The .TORRENT file stores tracker(s) that the user/site adds. Tracker sites are not the same as index sites. Trackers are solely responsible for being UP and CONNECTABLE when peers ask them for OTHER PEERS on a specific INFOHASH. Indexers catalog and host the .TORRENT files to download.

[drragostea]

I understand. Indexers are the sites that hosts the file and Trackers are the ones that serve the content.
