I just 'updated' to the latest version 2.2 Beta 21145 and now there is no "open window on manual add" option.

Where'd it go?

I've read the changelog and where it says it has gone to does not exsist.

I'll head back to 2.03 until this major oops is sorted.

Thanks.

It got merged into the other setting "Show a window that displays the files inside the torrent"

[Jeroenz0r]

Is it me or does µTorrent still asks to set it as default .torrent application, even when it is?

[Slava_D]

Why do not the last versions show an overhead?

[Jeroenz0r]

They removed it. Alto people suggested add it as optional Advanced setting.

[rafi]

yeah. and one of those people is me...

- Change: remove the overhead display from the status bar

I like to request an advanced option to enable it on the status bar. It is VERY useful if you want to monitor overhead while looking and another tab.

Thank you

[Thunderhead]

the new colors for the status icons contrast really badly. actually, i liked the previous style icons much better than the current ones. (last used in version 2.0.3) it would be nice to go back to those

What parameter is responsible for the show of traffic?

[rafi]

bt.transp_disposition - defaults to 15 ? ... from what ancient release have you copy-pasted that ?... move forward a bit to 31, people ...

It's not implemented yet.

I'm on build 21145. It seems that Utorrent is not adhering to the upload cap I set.

Here is a screenshot.

I get a blank screen. The title bar shows some transfer states, but that's about it. When I use the non-beta 2.0, everything appears ok. On Windows 2000.

Try checking "Apply rate limit to uTP connections" in that same options dialog box.

[somedonkey]

I'm getting "Error: The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error." in the status on a bunch of my torrents since the 21145 update. Nothing in the windows event log and a chkdsk says things are ok. Windows 2008 r2. Is there a utorrent log file anywhere?

[eliot_cougar]

Bug: bt.transp_disposition have been defaulted to 15 somehow...

[rafi]

eliot: http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?pid=509688#p509688 ... READ BEFORE YOU POST...

I guess that asking for devs'-feedback is a bit too much in this release/thread ... and if it takes 7 pages to get to such basic bug - it's just sad...

[Firon]

We'll fix the default for the next version.

The add torrent dialog should work for everyone now. We've removed the second checkbox in the Directories dialog, so now there's only one unified checkbox to enable the Add Torrent dialog.

Have you tried deleting your settings and using the latest 2.2?

[Firon]

New build up!

Pardon a noob, but is there a problem with protocol encryption nowadays, seeing as the setting for outgoing defaults to Disabled? Unless there is some sizeable potential issue it seems a bit counterproductive to limit the default client to unencrypted outgoing connections. Feel free to ignore this question if this is common knowledge in the world of torrents.

[Firon]

There's no good reason to turn it on by default. Most people don't need it.

[Switeck]

Not everyone is throttled/disrupted by their ISP.

Of those that are, many are not helped by encryption...at least not alone.

So it's bad if it's enabled by default.

Encryption can still be forced -- as far as I know uTorrent won't go without encryption to a peer/seed that is flagged for it via PEX.

[Anonymous1]

Still not fixed...

Why can we simply have the old sidebar, it was less bloatware, more cleaner and easy to navigate sth

And why enabling by default encryption will be bad ?

IMO I can only help, because we will simply have larger pool of peers to pick from for connecting to...

With disabling encryption we can't establish encrypted outgoing connections, so I don't think it's good option for default

Really late post and not contributing at all to the topic, but..

IMHO, antivirus apps are for nubs. I don't have one installed and I've never had a virus.

And I've been using computers for over 15 years.

I used to use Kaspersky but only for on-demand scanning.

All that proactive bs that runs in the background and checks what you're doing like a nanny is not for me.

Right now, I only use VirusTotal Uploader if I need to scan something I download. Of course I don't download random crap that most people seem to, so I never have a problem. Most trustworthy files have a digital signature nowadays anyway. No need for a lame av app.

Also, Firefox with ABP is all I need in terms of internet security.

My hardware firewall helps a bit as well.

^ This x500.

Note: If you don't have NoScript then add it to your arsenal.
