Dragonwire Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 2 days ago I updated to the new 2.2 build 23703...when it prompted me to do so. I don't like it. I liked it before. don't like the new fancy coloring or the fact that I cant customize the top bar, name, size, seeding etc. I had it how I liked it. now it's all changed. I'd like to go back to previous version. were I right clicked on that bar and and could check what I do and don't want displayed.No offense to the designers, but for me I just liked it the way it was. Thought the update just made the program more efficient, not change the whole format.:| Can I delete it and go get the older one, or undo the update??

osm0sis Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 Dragon you can still do all of that. See the first post, the 2.0.4 btskin will fix the way it looks. The update does frig up all your columns, but you can still put them back the way you like them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zarggg Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 I still can't believe that people are considering the skin and the "convenience" of having THOUSANDS of torrents loaded in the program to be more important than security and protocol issues.

osm0sis Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 Exactly Zarggg.. uTorrent is and has always been extremely customizable. A little investigation reveals that everything new/undesirable can be avoided (browser bars, etc), disabled (apps, search redirect), or hidden (find pane, and pretty much every other UI element you can imagine).The only thing that I do find kind of vexing - and this is my only real grievance with uTorrent, ever - is the resetting of my columns setup every time they change something there.. surely there must be a future-proof way to implement the columns.Anyway, in summary, people really need to spend a little time exploring and understanding the programs they use..

420 Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 For me, the most annoying thing about the new µTorrent is the change of the relocate feature."Improved set download location/relocate feature (now moves files for you)" - please make this optional or add another command to use the old way.See here for more details: http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?pid=549460#p549460 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonwire Posted December 31, 2010 Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 osmosis.. thanks a bunch!!! looks normal nowone quick question. a few things changed on that bar. Name,date added etc. not sure what you call it. but some time ago I found where I could customize it, add or remove categories by checking or un-checking them.I can't seem to figure out how to do than now. I think it was by right clicking on the bar but than isn't doing anything now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moogly Posted December 31, 2010 Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 Right click on the column header to enable/disable some columns.If you're using Win2K, you have surely the bug related to this OS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bamftl Posted December 31, 2010 Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 For me, the most annoying thing about the new µTorrent is the change of the relocate feature."Improved set download location/relocate feature (now moves files for you)" - please make this optional or add another command to use the old way.See here for more details: http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?pid=549460#p549460Same here. It totally messes up how I manage files to different drives after I've verified the download (IE I seed the entire contents but I don't want all the stupid text files, samples, etc in the same location as the actual media I'm interested in).Having uTorrent move the files for you is fine and in some cases would be great but it should also work when you move them manually and individually.It seem that the new feature is buggy as well. I've found that uTorrent will often copy the files to the new location but still point to the original location.Back to 2.0.4 for now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twisten Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 This new "Improved set download location/relocate feature (now moves files for you)" feature has forced me too to return to v2.0.4 .I too cross-seed many torrents.Until now it was a simple matter to point utorrent to a pre-existing file and 're-check' to seed. Or in some cases to point utorrent to a non-existing file and download a small piece without overwriting the different file and corrupting an already finished and seeding torrent.Suddenly I'm finding myself unable to use a feature I've been using almost daily for a very long time.Instead of adding another menu item to 'move' files, this reliable and needed feature has been overwritten and now all those complaints about having to move files manually and then pointing utorrent to them which brought about this new feature apply to me (with extra complications).utorrent was very reliable in that it never moved/renamed/deleted files unexpectedly now its starting to loose that reliability not to mention that trying to use this feature seem to make it unstable and causing it to freeze.I would love a 'move' feature for entire torrents as well as for single files especially if it can be used on a running torrent while keeping it seeding/paused without forcing a full stop/re-check.But I'm requesting and begging of you however you choose to do it, implement it separately from the old 'relocate' feature and allow us to use newer versions.

rafi Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 Back to 2.0.4 for now +1 ... I'm also for adding a move/copy items to the existing method. At lease till the bugs are solved.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burnduck Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 this version definitely broke UTP trackers with SOCKS5 proxyI have a socks5 proxy (with authentication) running at home, and I used to bypass my uni firewall using the socks5 proxyit worked great until I installed the latest 2.2 utorrent client, and all I got was connection timed out.Downgraded to 2.0.4 and I'm happy with the old version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So to all those EXPERIENCED USERS sending people to speed issue thread dont bother its the NEW VERSIONI'm not an expert but i did notice when i gave 2.2 a chance (i stopped using it for different reasons you can see my post above) that in advanced settings "bt.transp_disposition" had been affected by the upgrade and needed to be reset to default, I'm guessing its because more values have been added.If you upgraded without keeping your settings you might want to check for other changes.

msk Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 If the system is connected to internet, utorrent is in processes list (task manager) for a while after exit.If the system is disconnected from internet before exiting utorrent, then it is there in processes list for ever after exit.

Endersgame Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 Okay, I keep getting the error "Element not found", I have done force recheck several times but as soon as one piece finishes downloading of the torrent it gives me the error again. I have never had this problem with any of the old versions of uTorrent, that's why I'm posting this here, and am thinking of trying the torrent on an old version to see if it will work that way. I have looked at most if not all of the older posts about this error but they all seem to suggest that it is due to them moving/deleting the files in the torrent, but I have not touched any of the files in the torrent so I know it can't be this unless uTorrent moved the files or is trying to move them, more likely the latter as all the files are in the folder. If anyone can help with this that would be a big help, I don't like to downgrade programs, especially when I like and am used to the upgrade. On a side note, I'm just wondering if a "Semaphore time out" error can be caused by a bad cable going from the drive to the motherboard? Thanks for the help in advance. Edit: uTorrent 2.2 now crashes when I try to start it and usually takes my PC down too I will go back to an older version to see if that fixes this problem and the element not found error. Also the element not found error started happening to several more of my torrents non of which I had touched since I started downloading them.

hdfreak Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 I updated about 2 weeks ago to the latest build which was 23774. But now the download link gives an older build, 23703. Is there any reason for that, something wrong with build 23774 and was it removed? Should I downgrade to 23703 or it's just something wrong with the download link?

gylgamesh Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 I have the following problem:If I select the option Close to tray and then close and restart uT even once or restart it with Windows, the uT window does not appear any more.The process is running, but the system tray icon does not appear and there is no way to activate the uT program window, except deleting settings.dat and settings.dat.old.I use uT 2.2.0.23774 on Windows XP SP3.P.S. It is possible that I had both Close to tray and Minimize to tray checked, but I think that did not caused problems before.* * * * *Regarding other issues mentioned above by other users, I have not encountered any of them, but :a) I never Enabled bandwidth management [uTP] ( my bt.transp_disposition is 245 ) and My bandwidth, connections, peers no. &c. settings are at the maximum.
