mefi Posted December 19, 2009 Report Share Posted December 19, 2009 Well, it is an alpha - you can't expect that much from an app in such an early stage. I'm sure the developers listen to the (constructive) critique people post, and that it will result in a way better app than Transmission. I've had OS X for a year now, and I never could bear Transmission for more than a month.What I think you possibly could ask for though, is a little faster development - there is a huge mass of torrentusers who are not satisfied with transmission, and getting a stable uTorrent for Mac out there as soon as possible would connect many of those people to uTorrent!

Aypeus(Ipes) Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 I hear you, thing is none of the trackers that are serious accept a Alpha nor Beta client for that matter, actually they don't even allow it.I myself could not care LESS about the interface, that can be developed along the way. All I care about is the relevant part, at the end of the day none of the gibberish about icons here and there or spaces between columns matter at all. So in my honest opinion the development team should put there time and energy on releasing one version that is stable, the rest can be changed and improved with time.Just like the WIN version, it just worked without hassle then there was changes and those improved the application.

osm0sis Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 The Windows version DID also have a great UI to start with (and remains pretty much the same) however.. so I think they're just trying to follow the same pattern here, only difference is you're allowed to test the Alphas and Betas whereas before it was just Ludde and vurlix conspiring together on IRC while they worked out the UI kinks.

J0hnS Posted December 26, 2009 Report Share Posted December 26, 2009 CPU usage is good, looks stable. But I still wish it would remember my preferences. Doesn't anyone else download to a separate drive? It always defaults to the 'downloads' folder on my main drive. I have to change the setting each time I open it.G5 with 10.5.8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mefi Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 Valid point Aypeus, and with that I agree! Getting a stable version out there ought to be the main issue when developing the client, and as I said before, I think many many mac-users would change to uTorrent once the stable version is attainable.

drpiety Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 Does ipfiltering work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saosin Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 A wonderful addition would be the ability to change default double click action to "Show in finder". I do this alot in the Windows version.One thing that bugs me is that when I choose "Delete all files", uTorrent leaves behind a file that ends with ".imported". Shouldn't this be deleted with the other stuff?(If it helps to know, I autoload torrent files found on the Desktop. I've also tried to change the autoload location to Downloads with no success.)Thanks for an otherwise awesome Mac version of uTorrent! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
repattila Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 I just tried this new version, and i got much slower download speed then in 0.9.2. With 0.9.3 had 100KB/s, after switching back to 0.9.2, download speed is up, 1MB/s with the same set of torrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lutzy93 Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 Now I've upgraded to Snow Leopard and uTorrent 0.9.3 (latest build) works perfectly. One problem though... in the General tab, the scroll bar goes too down until I get a white space; and if i get my cursor in that white space and try to scroll back up, it won't work unless I get it in the text zone.NOTE: I'm using the scroll wheel, not the scroll bar itself; but it still has the same problem in any case.Might be a bug.

Pasci Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 This is my first time using uTorrent and it generally was fine. I have been using Vuze for about a year. Currently have a MacBook Pro, Intel Dual Core 4MB ram. I also run Wondershare Video Converter for mac (v1.1.0.37) to convert avi files to mp4 to view via Apple TV. When I installed uTorrent, the video converter stopped working. It finally started working when I removed uTorrent. There seems to be an inherent conflict between the 2 apps.

grouchy Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 Happy to see a Mac version in development. Thank you. I would need to see two features, already present in the Win version, before I could switch from Transmission to uTorrent on the Mac platform:1) The ability to specify the download directory for each torrent, overriding the default; and2) The ability to select less than all the files in the torrent for download.I like these features in the Win version. It would be nice to see them in the Mac version, too. If they can be turned on in the Mac version, it is not clear how.Sorry for posting this in announcements; it obviously belongs elsewhere.

mefi Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 grouchy - 2) is already a feature if I understand you correctly? You want to be able to select which files in a torrent to download? Right-click them in the Files-tab under the torrent and select Don't download?//mefi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexVedun Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 First of all, I want to thank developers for their work. Thank you!Now about remarks.1. The interface of the previous version was more similar to the interface of the Mac-application. I think, that it is better to return it.2. In the program speeds of download / upload are incorrectly displayed. Instead of 15 kB/s it is written 1,5 kB/s.P.S. Sorry for my English. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silentbobie Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 Working real nice so far. The UI fixes are definitely an improvement. I can finally make out the pieces bar. ;-)One query though, I noticed some references to the webUI in the changes list. Does this mean we shall be seeing the first implementation of the webUI within the next couple of build releases? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sova Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 Thank you for work! But in my case it still crashes after some minutes of work. Back to 17226 - have a lot of memory leaks but more stable than 17780. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlinho Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 17780 still crashing with me too. Back to 0.9.2, theses crashes sux a lot... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mefi Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 Sova and Carlinho, have you tried just downloading one torrent at a time? Does it work then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sova Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 I do not download any one. Only upload. I have ~350 files (I mean torrents) for upload (3Tb). Common Average speed - 3MB/s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silentbobie Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 I don't have any crashes, but I do find that if I am uploading more than ~10 files, regardless of whether I am dowloading aswell, that on occassion uTorrent will eat up my CPU. If I quit and reopen it goes back to normal again. Next time it happens I'll take sample. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sova Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 If developers need, I could provide them RDC access to my iMAC for any tests with my uTorrent and my torrent collection. MAC is online 24x7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dorest Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 Dear developer, would you add dialog window that asking there to save downloaded files?It'll be really good feature. And would you add function "click to name of downloaded file - and a folder with this file will open (in finder) ?"sorry for bad english. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sova Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 Just from trying 17856. The same as was - crashes after 10-15 minutes from start. Freezes for 1-3 seconds and then exits.I am only uplader with high BW (5-10MB/s) and ~370 torrents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
