gmbutler Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 My latest torrent completed in 1970, apparently.I upgraded to the latest Beta release yesterday. One of my torrents, added on 16 Dec 2010, showed a "Completed On" time of 03 Jan 1970 07:13:29 (it completed almost 41 years before I added it ).The date speaks for itself (...really? What's wrong with 1970? ). I actually waited for the torrent to complete, and the time was 07:58 (18 Dec 2010). So it is not simply a matter of a wrong time zone. This is clearly a bug as my system date and time is correct, and other software I checked also returns the correct date and time.If a bugfix Beta hasn't rolled out by then, I will post again tomorrow to confirm whether or not this problem persists. In the mean time, I want to know if it would be possible (when rolling out a bugfix release) to also fix the incorrect date and time of torrents completed since the upgrade, as I sort my completed torrents by the "Completed On" column for easy reference.Also, is there something I can do from my side at this time?I am on WinXP SP3.

Pe6yc Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 I have the same problem. Not only "Completed On" but "Added On" too.OS is Win 7 x86 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aceofspades911 Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 Its really, really annoying. I arrange my torrents with the completed on tab thingy (i like to keep a list) and it says its 1970. Also I hate the new layout for uTorrent. The colors for the status bar are different and i had to get a skin to get the old icons back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmbutler Posted December 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 Not only "Completed On" but "Added On" tooThanks for pointing that out, I see I have overlooked that. The same happened here. So I reckon it is safe to assume that ALL torrents that change state (added, completed, etc(?)) will have a date in the good ol' 70's.

ChichipioWilson Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 This is because µtorrent is now sponsored by H.G. Wells.Now, seriously, I'm running µtorrent 2.2.1 Beta (build 23858) on Windows XP SP3 32-bit and I don't have that problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brim Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 Win 7 x86 Home Premium, uTorrent 2.2.1 Beta (23858)Same problem. All new torrents downloads at 01.01.1970... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 The uTorrent developer that is responsible for this mistake is already aware of it and working on a fix.Incidentally, the problem occurred because he was trying to fix the PEX message flood bug due to incorrect clock times. ...Hopefully the PEX message flood bug gets fixed as well.

gmbutler Posted December 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 Thanks Switeck. If a fix doesn't get rolled out within the next day or so, please keep us posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 Heh, sounds almost like the WebUI+RSS timestamp bug I encountered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 Ultima, any clue if those date/time errors are related? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmbutler Posted December 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 ...because he was trying to fix the PEX message flood bug due to incorrect clock times...I don't quite know what that means exactly, but between the "PEX message flood bug" (bug A) and the bug I posted (the topic of this discussion, bug , would it not make sense to restore bug A in favour of correct torrent dates? That of course is assuming that bug B is a bigger and more crucial problem for most users. Then another way can be found later to eliminate bug A, and only then roll out another fix which doesn't adversely affect the torrent dates, as is currently the case. As stated, I don't know what the quoted text means, so I am simply speaking from what I experience as crucial in my own usage. This is also assuming that the errors are related, as Switeck asked.

Switeck Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 PEX flood bug was auto-banning >60% of other BitTorrent clients on busy torrents.Go into Logger, highlight ALL your active torrents, and do a right-click, advanced, Reset Bans.Probably 99% of those bans are from the PEX flood bug.

Ultima Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 Ultima, any clue if those date/time errors are related?No idea. By my guess, probably not though. Greg mentioned something about 32-bit integers getting improperly casted into 64-bit integers being the problem for WebUI+RSS. I just thought it amusing that this date issue cropped up after I complained about WebUI+RSS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
volverine73 Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 yes, same problem, Windows 7 Home Basic; x64.Seems to me that the bug affects only x64 processors, my other thing (XP SP3; x32) ticks pretty well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Switeck Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 Don't worry about this...a uTorrent dev is already pulling his hair out trying to fix it. It'll either be fixed or he'll be bald. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
volverine73 Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 then tell'em to start with them arse hair. More painful, therefore more efficient no offence, of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
