alen1989 Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 It might have been posted somewhere, but I could not find it.Anyway, uTorrent just chrashed, while I had it minimized. I left it few times to download overnight and next day it wasn't on (the torrent was downloaded only few %).Hope it gets fixed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoOneButMe Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 Are there any crashlogs in $HOME/Library/Logs/CrashReporter? If so, can you zip them up and stick them on mediafire/something similar? (Unless theres only one log, then just put it on pastebin and link to it here). This way, the devs will know exactly what caused it in your situation and it will be easier for the devs to fix then just guessing where the crash is randomly.

alen1989 Posted December 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 There's actually no crashlog regarding uTorrent. I don't really know if it is important, but when other apps (which crashlogs are in there), there is a pop-up message about app crashing, but when uTorrent crashes, it just dies. Sometimes I don't even notice it, until I want to check download progress. Is there any other way to find out why this may be happening? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoOneButMe Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 Are there any messages in Console.app? (under /Applications/Utilities) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alen1989 Posted December 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 Well, there is something regarding uTorrent, but it's only from yesterday/today (it didn't crash yet). I'll wait 'till it crashes again and if something new comes up, i'll be posting it here. Thanks for the help Edit:It just happened and what I got in console was:12/6/08 10:54:35 AM com.apple.launchd[75] ([0x0-0x259259].com.bittorrent.uTorrent[21287]) Exited abnormally: Broken pipe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kennykilla Posted December 24, 2008 Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 Same problem for me. Random crashes and "broken pipe" message in console.Version 0.9.0.4.It is the only problem for me to make uTorrent my default torrent client.Hope you can fix it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t-rave Posted December 24, 2008 Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 I am having the same issue but no error comes up. In 10 minutes time the app just closes subtly. Actually saw it fade away on my dock. No crash logs either. Using the newest 0.9.0.4. It wouldn't be a huge issue if I had to restart it ever now and then but then it runs the verify check for my files and it takes forever. But at least the app is now on mac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaz219 Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 Same here on Leopard 10.5.6 with µTorrent 0.9.0.4. Same "Broken Pipe" message in the console.I is almost systematic. µTorrent won't run for more thant an hour most of the time. Sometimes it runs longer, for no apparent reason neither. I'm downloading a 10GB torrent, maybe it has to do with memory management? I have to try to see if it also happens when only small torrents are downloading.

Siddhartha Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 At first sight I thought it could have something to do with your accounts running. Run as an admin with full rights or not - I wouldn`t except it right now until I´m rebuted It has something to do with memory of course. Something causes uTorrent to break. Are there any more details in your logs? Before or after uTorrent has stopped from working? It means it couldn`t finish due to some other abortion or early finalization. That`s a broken pipe.What`s your Mac`s equipment and how much data are you using the time your "pipe get`s broken?"2.8Ghz | 2GB | 320GB | 10.5.6 -> runs perfectly with 13GB of data right now (my maximum was about 30GB at all) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaz219 Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 2.6GHz | 10.5.6 | 4GB | 160GB and I had about 20GB of data I think at that time (which was my maximum). I was also working on pictures with aperture, with a 30GB picture library, so it is very possible that there is a memory problem when there is a lot of paging, you're right indeed.

nexski Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 Yep getting the same thing.Though i only have utorrent runnig, and maybe safari.Have noticed that if you minmise (not hide)there is a good chance it will crash within a few minutes, but not every time.No crash logs, apart from the 1 line in the console...Current crash has only 2 torrents with about 1gig of data in total.MBP 2.5Ghz | 10.5.6 | 4GB | 250GB31/01/09 2:08:34 AM com.apple.launchd[116] ([0x0-0x415415].com.bittorrent.uTorrent[7215]) Exited abnormally: Broken pipe 31/01/09 9:14:23 AM com.apple.launchd[116] ([0x0-0x454454].com.bittorrent.uTorrent[7752]) Exited abnormally: Broken pipe 2/02/09 3:06:52 AM com.apple.launchd[116] ([0x0-0x617617].com.bittorrent.uTorrent[11756]) Exited abnormally: Broken pipe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siddhartha Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 Are you using external drives such as a USB HDD? Or did you have a look at your energy saving options (assuming that the MacBooks are quite efficient at saving energy due to disk sleeping mode, f.e.) Try to turn off your hard disk sleeping mode or try to run uTorrent without your externals...If it`s not due to some special system settings while trying to read/write, then it has to be a minor bug, for sure.EDIT: I just got another clue which refers to the total number of your connections. Are they adapted to your kind of connection or do you have an abnormal high number of maximum/per torrent connections? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nexski Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 no external drive.i use the power savings options to wake the mac up at 2am (off peak quota time ) you can see one of the crashes happened a few minutes after the mac woke up.Torrents are limited to 500 connections, each max 2000 global. only had 2 running at the time 31/01/09 2:08:34 AM com.apple.launchd[116] ([0x0-0x415415].com.bittorrent.uTorrent[7215]) Exited abnormally: Broken pipe Though ive had it crash just opening the application... seems to happen more often if i minimise the application.

kaz219 Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 I noticed that either it crashes within a few minutes, or it stay stable forever. And it definitely has something to do with either the number of connections or the size of the total torrent downloaded: when I have many big torrents, it crashes. When I have only one torrent, never. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acalmcat Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 I've started getting the application disappearing. I thought it was because I installed 091, but I can't say for sure. I did a full uninstall and then installed 090, and it still does it. The only pref I changed in 090 after installing it was the port to forward, the rest are default. I've tried a few different torrents, one at a time, it makes no difference. The app window just disappears with no crash dialog. Below is the result in my console window, as you can see it doesn't run for very long.

NoOneButMe Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 Did you move uTorrent.app while the app was running? Try redownloading it. It sounds like your version is corrupt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acalmcat Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 I didn't move it. When I installed it, I put it in a subfolder of the Applications folder. But i've always done that, nothing new.I should also mention that I use the app on my tower MacPro and MacBook, and it has the same condition on both.

thatmike Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 While we wait for a fix, I created an app containing a simple applescript that checks if utorrent is running every 5 minutes and if not, opens it again.

torrman Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 I have experienced this 'silent' crashing half a dozen times on uTorrent version 0.9.3 (17496) for the Mac. This can happen anywhere between 1 and 8 hours I have experienced.On several occasions I have had nothing but uTorrent open using my Macbook Pro (2.5 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 DSRAM, Mac OS X Version 10.5.8) and it was close itself without warning. This is a clean install of OS X, and the uTorrent install is a clean install (not moving any files) but I did use the automated upgrade service a couple of days ago.One thing I did notice in Console.app is the following repeated over and over again just before the crash: 10/12/2009 01:31:58 uTorrent[802] Fetching of url https://trackhub.appspot.com/announce?info_hash=H%16C%d5o%87%1b%3f%ceub%8a%e2%adn%f6WB%d5%d2&peer_id=-UM093B-XD%bd%1fHO%eew%d0F%b6%f2&port=12345&uploaded=180224&downloaded=0&left=4356911234&corrupt=0&key=5BFF5789&numwant=200&compact=1&no_peer_id=1&ipv6=fe80%3a%3a21f%3a5bff%3afec8%3aae5a failed, desc=Operation could not be completed.

torrman Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 Hi NoOneButMe, any ideas on the issue I raised? I am using build 0.9.3 and have since cleared all non 'working' tracker connections across all torrents, but it still crashes at an unpredictable interval.Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biggsis Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 Same here, really annoying. OSX Snow Leopard 10.6.2 on iMac, uTorrent 0.9.3 Build 17496, random crashes, no Crash Reporter Log, in Console some GUI Errors (Sidebar is empty after restart of app etc.)Sad, that uTorrent has this, strange is, that for a day or two after installation the app ran pretty smooth. Now I can not start it to run overnight, since it most likely crashes sometimes in the night with no log.Come on guys, I have been really an uTorrent User on Win for several years, I would love to use the Mac Version on a day to day basis, but there is just no point, it is still an unreliable, unstable application.
