µTorrent 3.1 stable (build 26671)

As I said, if the "Disable Windows caching of disk writes" is checked, the mini hangs are gone, but then I can't download, because my speed does not go over 1 mb/s. This issues are caused by the subsystem called bloatware that came since the 3.0 version. Pre-allocate all files does nothing. At least in 2.2.1 I won't have any useless things and all the things work as it should.

Yeah, I don't have any stardock. It's a clean windows, installed a couple of days ago. I don't use stardock or other eye candy software And the RSS feature being broken is also from stardock software ? The pre-allocate all files option broken is from stardock software too ? I never had a hang with utorrent in my life. Only with 3.1. And I'm not the only one complaining about this. But you, the developers, instead of fixing them, you stand here and say "Prove it". Great attitude.

Pre-allocate works fine for me, and I can download at about 7mbyte/s (internet can't go faster). :o

Were you running some of the older 3.1s? I recommend making sure sparse files is turned off.

New 3.1 build up with several fixes, including fixed RSS.

Let me see: did this "test" feed, that was posted (and sent) works for you ?

http://rss.thepiratebay.org/208

Because, I get nothing from it over here :(

Might be that they have changed something at the feed's web site

Edit:

http://rss.thepiratebay.org/205 seems OK, I guess that are no more HD shows on this RSS feed today...

some interesting info posted by 'demonzon' regarding the RSS issue. uTorrent staff can this

be addresses and fixed?

--------------------

For some reason utorrent sends Content-Length: 0 in its GET request. lighttpd does not accept this.

For example' date=' TPBs High Def TV Shows requests are requested (in utorrent) as this:

GET /208 HTTP/1.1

Host: rss.thepiratebay.org

User-Agent: BTWebClient/3100(26595)

Accept-Encoding: gzip

Connection: Close

Content-Length: 0

The "Content-Length: 0" is not valid in a HTTP GET request.[/quote']

Thanks for the info. I'll attempt to reproduce this bug, and update you tomorrow.

Using Firefox & Live Headers, I'm getting :

So, I found the RAM hog culprit. This setting: f54dc0164763870.jpg

When it's checked, everything is fine. When it's unchecked, it takes up all my RAM, regardless of my "override cache size" setting and I can't upload with more than 1 mb/s. This is a real dilemma here, for me, at least, because I have a 100 mbps connection. So, the problem isn't from Stardock, AV or any other thing.

I also figured out the cause for mini hangs: RSS. As long as I don't have any feeds, there's no hang at utorrent startup. If I add my rss.dat, then all hell breaks loose and I have mini hangs.

Enable logging of RSS errors. what does the log say? Maybe they are not handling well bad feeds-sites.
