westcoast Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 Everytime I start up uTorrent, it automatically starts downloading some Debian CD. I stop the download and delete the torrent + data, but every time I restart uTorrent it's back.What's the problem?EDIT--It's done this since I got it. Right after I first installed it, it was there. I didn't try and download it or anything, it just appeared for no reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 Sounds like you have something on your system preventing your resume state from being stored properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westcoast Posted February 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 Yeah but there should be nothing to resume. I've only downloaded a couple things w/ uTorrent, and never some Debian CD. I reinstalled Vista today, got around to installing uTorrent just recently, and there it was.I've uninstalled uTorrent and downloaded it again just to check, and the same thing happens. Also happens on a different computer as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 if it's a fresh install with a format, it shouldn't be doing that at all.Otherwise, something in your previous install may have carried over and gotten locked.uTorrent doesn't auto-download anything normally.

westcoast Posted February 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 Exactly why this has me sort of paranoid.Think I have anything to worry about? I mean I downloaded it on another computer, like I said, just to check. It's never had uTorrent installed on it and it did the same thing.EDIT--Hey dxwarlock. Kinda a relief to see I'm not the only one with the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 The administrator in charge of uploading uTorrent versions was playing with new content-releaser features and forgot. I'm going to go beat him now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dxwarlock Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 no worries, figured it was some oversight on it.I can live with removing it until an update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bogusbyte Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 ..eh have you kicked the responsible dude now? Yes? Do it again, HARD! Removing "debian-40r6-i386-CD-1.iso" AGAIN...and AGAIN... and.....BB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schnurlos Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 1.8.2 build 14442 was removed. When you download 1.8.2 now you get the "old" 14153 version, which works fine.They are fixing that problem now (if DWK has left some heads ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hsv4lyf Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 I have just re-installed windows and downloaded the 153 version of uTorrent and it is still trying to download debian-40r6-i386-CD-1.iso. If you don't want it to keep downloading until there is a fix, just do as what I have as shown in the image below. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kilara Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 Yes i redownloaded and reinstalled the 153 build but sam problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmx88 Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 i have "dont start the download automatically" but debian-40r6-i386-CD-1.iso is still downloads everytime :S is it a virus? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moogly Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 Maybe this autodownload is written in settings.dat or resume.dat from folder %appdata%\utorrent... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kilara Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 I deleted settings.dat and resume.dat and it is still downloading the torrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juan71287 Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 Its not in the DATA files I checked. This is not annoying but its it LOL , hope it gets fixed soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hsv4lyf Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 Nope, already tried deleting all the files in the %appdata%\utorrent folder. Still no difference, guess we better just wait for the fix. Can't work it out though, I have a clean copy of windows installed and downloaded and installed the 1.8.2 (build 14153) version which schnurlos said worked fine, even that version is playing up.

moogly Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 So it's surely in the source code. Wait a fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hsv4lyf Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 Yep, just have to wait for the fix. At least it's nothing too major and we can still use uTorrent to download torrents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arvid Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 @westcoastDid you download utorrent from the download page?There is a new feature in 1.8.2 to bundle .torrents and .btsearch with the install. It is supposed to be removed when installed for the first time though. Which version of uTorrent are you running?There is one usecase where this can occur: if you download a bundle (utorrent.exe with a .torrent file) and instead of just running it and install it, you manually copy it to your program files directory, the bundled .torrent file will never be stripped. The expected use case is to run utorrent.exe, and install it. When you run the installed version, it will not have the bundle anymore, and it will not add the torrent.It appears there was a mixup on the download server to distribute bundles from the regular download page.
