anonymous Posted January 8, 2006 Report Posted January 8, 2006 im using utorrent 1.3.2 beta (build 391) and it 1) wont show in the systray tho it is running and 2) why dont RSS feeds/podcasts appear in the download window? is it purposely like that?
Ultima Posted January 8, 2006 Report Posted January 8, 2006 For the first bug... check if you have "Always show tray icon" checked (should be on by default O.o)The second bug... well I've never used the RSS feature, but I don't think the feeds are supposed to appear in the download window. When it catches a torrent that matches your criteria, it automatically adds it -- or at least that's how I imagine it should work.
ICleolion Posted January 8, 2006 Report Posted January 8, 2006 If Ultima's suggestion doesnt work for the first bug, then maybe a good old reboot will if u havent done so already. Plus upgrade to latest beta.
anonymous Posted January 8, 2006 Author Report Posted January 8, 2006 1) upgrading didnt help2) "Always show tray icon" was already checked3) reboot didnt fix itBitComet doesntwork either so I think theres a deeper problem, perhaps my nLite'd windows?
ICleolion Posted January 8, 2006 Report Posted January 8, 2006 maybe, when did the bug start. Did it start after upgrading Utorrent, or has it always done it?
anonymous Posted January 8, 2006 Author Report Posted January 8, 2006 i just tried utorrent today, it has never occured to me before.edit: now i think i have another bug: it wont remember the columns. it keeps reseting. can this be caused if i terminate utorrent with task manger or procx?
1c3d0g Posted January 8, 2006 Report Posted January 8, 2006 anonymous: this happens when Ludde has to tweak/reset the columns from time to time. This is not a problem on your end, but rather a minor incovenience (it's all part of testing new builds etc.).
Firon Posted January 8, 2006 Report Posted January 8, 2006 RSS feeds only show up on the RSS page.And my only suggestion is to delete settings.dat and settings.dat.old and try again.
Bulova Posted January 9, 2006 Report Posted January 9, 2006 Hi,i have the same Problems with the disapearing Taskbar Icon !Today i saw when i open Firofox 1.5 the Taskbar Icon from utorrent will disapear.If utorrent is open (on the Desktop), the Window will disapear too !In the Taskmanager utorrent is no longer available !Only under the Processes Tab the utorrent.exe Prozess is shown !utorrent dont start again ! You have to kill the Process, then you can start utorrent !This happens since Version 1.3.1 and later !With Vers. 1.3 there is no Problem !GreetingsBulova
1c3d0g Posted January 9, 2006 Report Posted January 9, 2006 If you put one more ! my head will explode (!) :mad:Sounds like something got corrupted on your system, since it ain't happening here... :/
h0rnytoad1 Posted January 10, 2006 Report Posted January 10, 2006 i think it would be a good idea to put some sort of crc value on the .dat files, µt would check the file for curuption that way. maybe even have a bakup copy somewhere to load in that case.
bowlinearl Posted January 10, 2006 Report Posted January 10, 2006 I would like to second Bulova, I've been experiencing the same bug.I hadn't noticed specifically that the window dissapeared when I ran FX, but I've definately had my utorrent window and the tray icon disappear on me several times. As a matter of fact, they are gone right now, but I can see utorrent.exe in the process list and my bandwidth moniter says I've got about 30kbps of traffic, so my torrents are definately doing something.I'm using utorrent 1.3.2 build 395 on Windows XP SP2. I'll run some empyrical tests and see if I can isolate the cause of the disappearance.
Bulova Posted January 10, 2006 Report Posted January 10, 2006 Hi,now i have testet on 3 Systems :1. BT-Maschine : Windows XP Pro Corporate Edition SP2, Groundinstallation with all Service Packs an Patches. No Tuning, no Changes to System defaults, only Bitdefender, Cfosspeed, Firefox, Daemon Tools an PowerDVD installed !2. Work-Maschine : Windows XP Pro Corporate Edition SP2, same Installation, with System Tuning an Changes to System defaults and a lot of Software installed !3. Virtual-Maschine (On Work-Maschine) : Windows XP Pro Corporate Edition SP2, Groundinstallation without patches after SP2, New installation (VMWARE), only Firefox installed !Same Problem on all Maschines !No Problems with other Software, no System Problems at all, no Error-entries in System-Logs !On my BT Maschine i downgraded to utorrent Vers. 1.3 an all went fine !GreetingsBulovaP.S.: I allways used the same Windows XP CD, may there is a Problem ?
idle.newbie Posted January 10, 2006 Report Posted January 10, 2006 "Groundinstallation"?another nLited installation? nobody knows what you've removed, some people reduce too many components without knowing what its for.
Firon Posted January 10, 2006 Report Posted January 10, 2006 You can screw up a whole lot of things by removing too much stuff (I know this from experience).Did either of you turn on the boss key by the way?
Bulova Posted January 10, 2006 Report Posted January 10, 2006 Hi,Sorry for my Englisch !"Groundinstallation" means pure, original, Windows XP Corporate Edition inkl. Service Pack 2, nothing else !No Changes to the original CD, nothing removed and all Patches from Microsoft-Update Page !On other Boards i have read about the same Problems !It seems that some people have the same Problem !I think, my Installation is OK ! (It's my Job, IT-Consultant, since 20 Years on Job !)GreetingsBulova
Firon Posted January 10, 2006 Report Posted January 10, 2006 Oh, I thought you meant you nLited the CD. Nevermind.Can you check to see if you accidentally turned on the boss key in Other Options?
Bulova Posted January 10, 2006 Report Posted January 10, 2006 Hi,no i don't use a Boss key !I don't change my installation, the only thing i changed is the utorrent Version !If i had a "Boss Key" Problem, it would happen with the 1.3 Version too ! (I think so, because a general Boss-Key schould work for all installed Software and the System too !) GreetingsBulovaP.S.: Sorry again ! I thought you where talking about a general Boss-Key, but i think you mean the Boss-Key in other Options ! I have checkt this : No ! In German : Cheftaste = Keine !
Bulova Posted January 10, 2006 Report Posted January 10, 2006 Hi,your hint with the "Boss Key" brings me to think about the Keys and the Keyboard !I think i have a Reason for the Problem !I have a Microsoft Wireless Desktop Elite Keyboard with Microsoft Driver Software ! (Intellipoint/IntelliKey)When i start Firefox with a Mouseklick from Star-Menu or Taskbar, an start a Site out of the Favorites, there is no Problem !But the Keyboard has special Funktion Keys. On this Keys you can programm, as example, an Internet Link.If you hit the Key, the default Browser will open with the programmed Link !Only if i do so, the problem happens !Is there a Problem with special Funktion Keys on Multimedia Keyboards ? (only with Internet Links, if i start a Programm from this Key, there is no Problem !)Is there a connection with the new Boss-Key Funktion in UT after Vers. 1.3 ?I think it's worth to think about !GreetingsBulova
Firon Posted January 10, 2006 Report Posted January 10, 2006 Like I said, try beta 400, it may solve your problem.http://www.utorrent.com/download/beta/utorrent-1.3.2-beta-build-400.exe
Bulova Posted January 10, 2006 Report Posted January 10, 2006 Hi,Thank you very much !With Vers. 400 the Problem is gone !I checked the Version and resettet to the 398 and again back to 400 !On 398 the Problem happens, on 400 the Problem is gone !Thank you for your very good and very fast Work !By the way, what was the reason for the Problem, what have you changed ?GreetingsBulovaP.S.: Sorry, we postet at the same Time, i dont saw your last Post before i wrote mine !
Firon Posted January 10, 2006 Report Posted January 10, 2006 i changed the hotkey code a bit so it will be more resistant to programs sending invalid messages to me
bowlinearl Posted January 11, 2006 Report Posted January 11, 2006 ludde definately got the bug. I narrowed the problem down to the hotkeys on my microsoft intellitype keyboard; whenever I would press one of the favorites buttons the window would dissapear. Good catch ludde!
chaosblade Posted January 12, 2006 Report Posted January 12, 2006 Only thing i can say, Good job. Things like these are one of the harder things to spot, other random apps messing around with your own code.
