utorrent works on LINUX!

[CapnBry]

i can confirm uTorrent working on 0.9.12, ... I have tried with Cedega 5.1 with no success, i also tried with crossover office professional 5.0.1, ...

Just wanted to make sure I got your point correctly, you're saying this right?

Works: WINE 0.9.12

Does not work: Cedega 5.1, Crossover Office Pro 5.0.1

I have my screen update time set to 2000ms too, just because the screen flicker drives me nuts. I just don't have the time to try to see if that is a wine problem or a uTorrent problem. I won't care once the webui is ready, hopefuly I won't even have to have any UI on my screen at all.

Flickering... hm, ludde did improve the flickering issue in the betas. Have you tried it?

Works: WINE 0.9.12

yes that is exactly what i mean, wine 0.9.12 works fine for me. There are things which still dont work like, enable PEP will not allow any downloads or uploads, but communication with tracker still stays fine. DHT works fine.

CEDEGA 5.1: Application wont start, crashes straight way.

Crossover Office Pro 5.0.1: Application starts, all GUI is fine, Torrents added, hash checks done fine, No network, No communication at all. I tried to bind it to specific IP as well but still no resuts. Mirc32 works fine in Crossover Office Pro 5.0.1

Flickering... hm, ludde did improve the flickering issue in the betas. Have you tried it?

I am using the most recent beta which is published on the website.

[Ultima]

Ah that post was directed at CapnBry, since he said he was experiencing flickering ;P

In any case, does it flicker for you?

[GotenXiao]

I get flicker. Quite a bit of it. But then, I usually have update interval set to 1000ms or lower.

[Ultima]

Eh oh well then, 2 seconds is bearable.

[CapnBry]

Flickering... hm, ludde did improve the flickering issue in the betas. Have you tried it?

He says he improved the flickering on the general tab. That was less of an issue for me, but even at 500ms now I see no noticable flickering on the general tab.

My annoying flickering issue is with the SysListView32 controls. I haven't had time to construct a test app to localize the problem to WINE or uTorrent though. I mean, obiously it is wine, but there might be an easier workaround inserted into uTorrent if it turns out to be a fundamental problem with WINE's GDI implementation.

[Firon]

I don't see any flicker at all anywhere.

[GotenXiao]

Lucky you

[CapnBry]

I don't see any flicker at all anywhere.

Under Linux+WINE or Win32? Under Win32 everything is great for me. If you mean Linux, what version of WINE, and X are you running, and what video card do you have?

[GotenXiao]

And do you have GLX/Composite/Damage enabled?

[Firon]

Win32. If there's flickering on Wine, it's probably Wine's fault.

[CapnBry]

And do you have GLX/Composite/Damage enabled?

I do have GLX enabled (direct rendering available), but not Composite, and I'm not even sure what the Damage extension is. It doesn't have anything to do with the speed of my X server because it flickers even on a GeForce 6800GT with an Athlon X2 4200+.

Win32. tongue If there's flickering on Wine, it's probably Wine's fault.

Take your "works under win32" comments to the win32 thread! :-P Of course it has something to do with WINE, there isn't even a complete syslistview32 implementation in wine at all (for starters they don't support extended list view styles at all). What I was hoping was that I could find a reason it flickers under wine, come up with a workaround, and see if it works just as well for win32.

Of course, if it turns out to be the GDI implementation in wine, we're all boned.

There isn't a way I could get an non-packed version of utorrent is there? When I was tracking down the problem with the networking it was a real pain in the ass to attach the debugger after the process unpacked, as well as preventing me from using IDA.

[Ultima]

Nope, no way to get unpacked version =T

[Firon]

Well, if you're skilled with a debugger you can probably get an unpacked version yourself. It's not impossible, since I've seen hacked, unpacked versions floating about.

[CapnBry]

Eh, I just thought that since I had already shown that I can fix a problem and proficiency in the debugger, someone would want to throw me a bone and save me some time. I know it can be unpacked, I thought my time would be better spent fixing WINE to make utorrent work better.

[Firon]

I'll ask ludde if he wants to give you one.

[Robot Machine]

Hm, I'm curious... how much resources do µTorrent+WINE use, and how does it compare to Azureus+Java?

Anecdotally, µTorrent and wineserver collectively occupy 13.6 MiB of real allocated stack (very little of this is wineserver). Sun's JRE running Azureus creates a 54.9 MiB stack.

As far as CPU cycles go, usage should be very comprable to that on Win32 since, again, Wine is an API implementation (this ignores, of course, situations where a bug causes an infinite loop and places where Wine's implementation of a function is much less efficient than Win32's).

[Firon]

CapnBry is debugging Wine with µTorrent right now, so if there's any bugs left over in Wine, he may be able to fix 'em and get µTorrent to run better.

This is a good thing, since it may get ported using winelib.

[InvisoSniper]

Im a relatively new Linux user and having one of my favorite apps from windows working sucessfully is just awsome. I'm running kubuntu 6.06, Wine 0.9.14, utorrent 1.5 Build 462.

Just thought i'd chime in. Thanks for the great work everybody.

[Butterfly2006]

Indeed, with Ubuntu 6.06 and Wine it is working fine and light (screen)

[Firon]

Ugly font you got there.

What's that dragon thing?

[Butterfly2006]

lol

For the dragon thing, it's just the consol with my alias dragonfly

With wine, i can also use Filezilla! Oh Yeah

[caf4926]

I'm running uTorrent in suse 10.1 using wine

works great

speed varies according to torrents

but will max with good seed/leechers on my 2mb pipex

[Ultima]

Hm, why's Butterfly2006's screenshot have the ugly gray? Pelo's screenshot didn't O.o
