µTorrent 3.0.25422: Setup Guide not working

[proximity]

Setup Guide fails, with HTTP error 404 for Bandwith test, and no incomming connection for Network test.

I'm proved to be active and µTorrent is fully allowed on myfirewall. PeerBlock is turned off during tests.

I just did a fresh install of Vista x64 SP2 Ultimate with all the current updates as of 04July2011.

For this version 3, I found the same to be true. No matter what I tried, where I set the "Your upload speed" drop control, it always fails HTTP error 404, after it appears to be going through all the motions.

The other router / port test was OK 100% of the time. Bandwidth test?.... Not so much. Broken 100% of the time.

I even went to the "Mlab" site. I used their NDT and tested my connection. It displayed 2.3mb/s upload speed and 6.1mb/s download speed. Network latency 81msec round trip and Jitter 86msec.

I've been using uTorrent for years and never had this issue. I read all the "bad attitude" responses to others that brought this issue forward in other posts, and in spite of my extensive experience with this application, I couldn't get v3 to work. I'm guessing it's a x64 issue as it installs in Program Files (x86) where all the 32 bit apps go.

Uninstalling version 3 and going back to v2.2.1 build 25273 fixed the issue immediately. Whatever changed specifically in that subroutine of the speed test program got broken between these two versions.

I probably won't update again until I hear that this particular problem has been dealt with. Everything else works just fine. Up & Down speeds are OK, it's just the stupid test, (which I like to run every once in a while to check performance), that is broken.

Agree with that v3 is far to work as flawlessly as v2.

I did downgrade y-day which resolved all the problems brought by version 3 including disk IO at low priority. Perhaps µTorrent3 was prematurely released final, there's still so many problems against v2.
