Cyb3rH4Xter Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 This version is unusable!1. The speed bug, at 99,9% or so it drops the speed to like 10kb/s?!?!2. The checking of a torrent takes forever or doesn't even finish3. It changed my connection settings when I upgraded4. The upload speeds was horrible, it stayed at like 10kb/s and didn't go higher5. If you right-clicked the utorrent icon and chose exit, the UI exited but not the process (you had to go to task manager).This is seriously the worst alpha of a program that I've ever tested Back to stable (and never alpha again lol)....

parlophonet Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 The stream option aways plays in the utorrent native player. can't configure to play with vlc or other player. could anyone help me solve this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lwiczek Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 so... utorrent updated itself and it's encouraging me to leave a comment... i've disabled remote access but this dumb icon still sits on the toolbar -- highly annoying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kef71 Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 Cache bug utorrent 3.1 build 26519If you override the default cache setting and exit while downloading, utorrent doesn't close down properly. Looking in the task manager I can see the memory consumption (Starting at up to 1050 MB depending on how full the cache is) is steadily decreasing until around 20MB and then the only way is to end the process manually. It kind of "hangs". It takes a loooong time for utorrent to come down to the 20MB and there is little to no hard drive activity, so it's not flushing the cache or doing it very very slowly. It happens every time so it is easy to replicate.The following cache settings where used:Override automatic cache size and specify the size manually (MB) | 1024Reduce memory usage when cache is not needed | uncheckedEnable caching of disk writes | checkedWrite out untouched blocks every two minutes | uncheckedWrite out finished pieces immediately | checkedEnable caching caching of disk reads | checkedTurn of read caching if the upload speed is slow | uncheckedRemove old blocks from the cache | checkedIncrease automatic cache size when cache thrashing | uncheckedDisable Windows caching of disk writes | uncheckedDisable Windows caching of disk reads | uncheckedI'm running Windows 7 home premium 64-bit With AMD 1090T processor, 4GB Ram and two Western Digital Green 2TB hardisks.Hope it helps!

thejalla Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 Alpha release features seem pretty cool. I like the remote idea where you can check your downloads from wherever you are.. via mobile etc.. but i do experience a bug.. Every time i load up utorrent it keeps asking me for my security question over and over... i insert it correctly and the box disappears for about 10 seconds, then pops back up again. Iv even created about 2 other accounts for Remote and i get the exact same thing.. if i press Cancel once it asks for the Answer the box doesn't appear again.. just thought id share this with you. Also does anyone else experience this?GazI'm getting this as well, so you're not alone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kzahel Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 I'm trying to understand how to reproduce the problem of the security question prompt re-appearing constantly. Can you explain the steps to take to cause it to appear repeatedly?Thanks for your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarkus Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 It comes up for me every time I start µTorrent. Well, the first time it asked me to create a question and response. Since then, it asks me to answer, and it's impossible to give it a successful answer. I've tried it with two different installations and two different names/questions/answers, with the same results.

sveindaniel Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 HiThe forced integrated playback is no good to me.It prevents me from accessing the torrent overview while I watch, and it shuts down the video playback when I do. Meaning I have to start the video all over again, and this is a big problem when I am streaming and a nuance when I don't stream. Because with streaming I have to begin at the beginning, no matter if I have seen the first 30 minutes of the video or not.And I access the torrent overview a lot. Meaning the integrated playback is useless to me, and the fact that it is forced is a problem.I prefer to have a choice, and I will choose to stream the torrent through an external VLC instance, not the integrated microsoft media player instance.If you fix the integrated playback, to not shut down the video when I access the torrent overview, then I would like to choose to use VLC player as the playback engine, not microsoft media player.Keep up the good work!RegardsSvein Daniel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamK Posted December 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 Hi Svein,During the Alpha/Beta period, we are forcing playback in utorrent so that we can find bugs in that (new) code. We will restore the ability to choose an external player as soon as we go stable.Thanks,Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sveindaniel Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 AdamK:Oh, I see. Good to know. Looking forward to stability :-)Then the internal playback code can be improved by not being shut down when the playback window is swapped with the overview window, or any other. :-))And/or that it remembers where in the streaming it was playing, and resume that place when one return.I also had a direct problem, the pop out feature didn't work.RegardsSDWindows 7, 64bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafi Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 We will restore the ability to choose an external player as soon as we go stable.Thanks,AdamWhen you restore it, please note that the setting line is too short (you need to allow more text into it) atht that when editing it - the apply button should be re-enabled.
