Great job done. I'm a new user and I'm a happy utorrent user NOW. thanks again and keep up the good hard work. it always pay at the end.

Hmmm... Seems that uTorrent locks up if i press left and right mouse button at the same time..

I´m running Build 437.. Not sure if utorrent is acting like this in previous builds...

Edit: Minimize to tray and then maximize again sets uTorrent back to normal.. But still..

What exactly is the new 'feature' (turned on by default)

Allow µTorrent to send anonymous version number and random id when checking for new version

used for?

STAFFO: not here O_o

wuggu: read the changelog

Thanks, did that.

The change log neither does specify what that data is used for, nor does it state the fact at all - except for the addition of transmission of build number.

Would you mind to elaborate?

- Feature: Setting to determine the number of µTorrent users.

Sends build number and random ID to the update server, so ludde can know how many µTorrent users there are. That's it. And we got the idea from Azureus.

Thanks, that clears things up.

That abstract -> implementation thing got me.

Maybe it is this bug?

STAFFO & hin123: Thanks (I think? lol) to hin123, I was able to reproduce this. Don't just push the two buttons down together. Left click and hold on a main button, hold down the right button as well, then drag the mouse away from a button. µTorrent will then freeze. You may be able to continue clicking buttons normally, but they will depress and not come back up. You can give another program focus and then go back to µTorrent to fix it pretty easily.

Nothing was changed in UPnP, it just shows you the error now.

ok... UPnP doesn't work for me in uTorrent then! It worked ok for me in Azureus so presumably it can work on my machine. I'll have a dig around on the forum to see if there is a known fix in case it is my config somehow.

I found another potential bug too. If you turn on verbose logging in the log tab with the right click context menu check item, then try to turn it off, it doesn't turn off.

[Firon 3]

if you turn on verbose logging, it turns on normal logging. Turning off verbose logging leaves normal logging on. So, you have to turn off log peer traffic too.

Thanks for the explanation.

Done some digging & testing on UPnP and I do have a dlink router... It works fine in Azureus though (just tested with uTorrent having failed on its own port and Azureus worked a treat), so perhaps their UPnP impl is more compatible with my router. I'll do a manual port forward so its not a huge deal but it suggests something isn't quite right.

Thanks.

uTorrent UPnP for my dlink(DI-784) doesnt work as well. Yet Serv-U's UPnP feature works quite well. I'd like to see this feature work though.

BTW: uTorrent 1.5 is quite a thing to behold. Substantial upgrade from 1.4.

use unlocker and see what's locking you out?

[Ares 0]

@Firon: Sweet! I used to use mstIsUsedBy to figure out what was locking files, but it wouldn't let me unlock them (of course, killing the process usually did the trick). Nice little util, thanks. =)

Fixed. moved my download folder from F: HDD to Local Disk C: and all is okay. So i guess there's something goin on there. Thanks to Firon too for helping me on IRC

@Slippy

If you are using a router with portforwarding, you have to wait some time (depends on tracker) up to 3 minutes (as some users told) to come network-icon green (tested by me with netgear).

So if it works with azureus, it will also work with µTorrent.

winguy: no, and it won't, ludde says it's not required.

so udp doesn't need to be forward by upnp for DHT to work?

[Firon 3]

No.
