Problems with Beta 2.0 - Build 17539 Under Wine

First off, I know that it's a beta and I should just switch back to the stable but that's part of my problem unfortunately; see below.

After updating to Beta 2.0(17539) fairly recently uTorrentHandler stopped working for no particular reason, I didn't have the time to look into it then but now I have started to I found that the old handler I was using has been replaced by 'uTorrent Adder' which I downloaded, tried and it also failed to work.

At this point I thought it may be an issue with the webui so I downloaded and tried both the latest testing version and the latest stable version too. Neither of those have made a difference, for some reason the webui just doesn't respond to adding new torrents, I have to manually open the torrents from the server that utorrent is running on (via vnc).

I should mention at this point that the server is running ubuntu and utorrent is obviously running under wine.

Next I tried downgrading to the latest stable utorrent which was when I had problems. When I initially installed utorrent (about 15 months ago) on the server the installer worked fine and I have upgraded it through the app's self-upgrade system ever since then, but when I tried to just dump the stable .exe in to the install folder I kept getting the install dialog. Whenever I try and go through the dialog it gets to the end, finishes, and then disappears, leaving a 'utorrent.exe' process running which just waits and does nothing at all. I waited 5+ mins to see if it did anything, killed it and tried again a couple of times with the same result.

I've run out of ideas on how to downgrade or even fix this problem and manually transferring/starting torrents is tedious :(.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Ok, I'll give the new wine a try and see if that helps. I just don't understand why the new utorrent would break things in such a subtle way?

Update: new wine installed and sorted, exactly the same problem with no changes. Any suggestions?
