µTorrent 2.2 released

[AdamK]

zarggg: Thanks - we've taken care of that.

[AdamK]

sneakrnet: Thanks for the report. We're very interested in performance. Also, thanks for the version numbers.

[Zarggg]

@rafi: Okay, the down-talking is getting pretty old. If you're happy staying with 2.0.4, you don't have to upgrade.

ipv6 installed log on start utorrent is very annoying for me. If not used then show this log for? Remove it, please.

Actually, I think it's should not show "about ipv6 installed" even if using ipv6.

[Firon]

Just ignore it.

[TorrentDaddy]

I agree Zarggg. .... I have been lurking here for 18 months and I'm astounded and dismayed at the constant "negativity" that Rafi puts out.

No offense Rafi, but why aren't you using another torrent client instead of wasting your time on thousands of negative posts? It doesn't make any sense to any of us?

Millions of uTorrent users love this software and the new version.

You do not understand his purpose.

[GTHK]

Plenty of room for improvement in various areas already discussed.

[Firon]

Rafi, while negative at times, is a very valuable, helpful user. He's helped us find and fix bugs in various features and is generally just a user who's concerned with making uT a good client.

[Zarggg]

I do understand his purpose. I just get tired of seeing it done with a negative spin.

[TorrentDaddy]

I understand his purpose too, but honestly he is concerned with a torrent client that does not exist, nor will one ever satisfy him, as history has already recorded.

It is enough already.

Does anyone here cares at all that the Path MTU discovery will work reasonably correct on this version ?

http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=84546

For it to work properly, you should:

- set the starting / largest packet size to ~1500 as was before

- change the size to find & fit the exact path MTU and not in +-300 bytes steps

- set the DF flag as intended and/or at lease NOT split packets any more AFTER finding the path MTU

- find the local MTU (PC, gateway-router) and take it into consideration

Just reproduce my test for that !

How hard can that be ?!

Rafi, I for one DO appreciate your efforts. It's people like you that drive this project to higher standards. I'm a software engineer myself, and in the commercial software engineering world it's quite hard to get good feedback from end-users.

I think new uTorrent icon is ugly. There was no need to change it.

[Switeck]

Hopefully, v2.2.1 stable will be out soon with fixes for slow speed bugs Rafi and I found. :cool:

[heidelberg23]

Hello comrades

I think I found the bug in 2.2. Everytime when I start new downloading torrent, all active torrents are failed, and restored through 3-4 min after drops.

Built 23071

Disk cache settings by default

I think new uTorrent icon is ugly.

I think so too I've changed it at skin from 2.0.4

The upload burst peaks in this graph correspond to download speed die-offs:

Build 23235 is out.

[heidelberg23]

Switeck, what version uT at the first screenshot?

[Switeck]

Dunno, something in the v1.8.x range if I recall...wasn't my screenshot.

[heidelberg23]

Hmm, I haven't seen problem with it in 2.0.4.

[dyep]

What's new in Build 23235?? (11-17-2010)

[ex58]

Sims that BitTorrent(23296) lead the race with uTorrent.
