jbrown Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 I'm using µTorrent 1.8.2 with wine under Linux which runs fine besides one very annoying issue.When starting µTorrent, there continuously shows up a message that I don't have to pay for the program. I figured out that the message doesn't show up if I configure to look for new versions of the program. This was fine until there actual was a new version. Now I continuously get annoyed by a message of a new version of µTorrent.Couldn't these messages only show up once or twice and then stop appearing?How can I make stop them?

DreadWingKnight Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 First up, 1.8.3 is the only supported version of uTorrent right now.Second, if your network adapter is constantly changing MAC addresses, that's the cause of the problem.

jbrown Posted July 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 1.8.3 behaves the same way.The Linux ppp interface I use for my internet connection doesn't provide a MAC address - as far as I know.So you'll probably say bad luck. But couldn't these messages accept if no MAC address is available? If there constantly is no MAC address it's probably the same machine as the last time. At least the new version information should be independently from that and show up only once per new version. I'd be certainly not the only one appreciating this.

Switeck Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 Even the MAC address of your LAN card is unknown? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbrown Posted August 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 Besides the ppp0 (and a loopback) interface I only have a dummy0 private network ethernet interface. I set this interface's MAC address to a fixed value, but the messages kept showing up.If I should try something else, please tell me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
