yuppicide Posted July 7, 2012 Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 I've been using uTorrent for awhile now. Recently I upgraded to Windows 7 Pro 64-Bit. I have uTorrent 3.2.When I was on XP and downloaded a file it would automatically start. What happens now is that the file does open in uTorrent, but it says "Stopped" next to it and I have to right click and Force Start.Any idea how to fix it?

xcureanddisease Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 its not your operating system. Its 3.2 theres other threads about this. And yes we have DO NOT START DOWNLOADS AUTOMATICALLY unchecked. Hell its unchecked by default! Bump!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yuppicide Posted July 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 Sorry I did try to search before I had posted.Yeah, I didn't think it was my OS. Just was thinking maybe the install went wrong.I still love uTorrent the best, so no worries there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 Does just doing a regular start actually start the torrent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riahc3 Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 Yeah, just installed today and same thing. Weird bug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mallo82 Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 Has this been resolved at all?I've got the same problem (although 'Start' as well as 'Force Start' fixes it). It's only been happening since updating utorrent 2 days ago to 3.2. I've been through the setup guide, read the FAQs, checked all the firewall setup guides (but I am using AVG which isn't specifically detailed) and I have tried searching through the forums but any related thread I can find just stops before identifying/resolving the issue.The only common assumption I can find from reading all the various posts is that it is a 3.2 bug. If so is the best solution just to wait for the next update and keep fingers crossed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 Are you all using magnets or actual direct links to torrents? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mallo82 Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 I'm not 100% sure as this is the first time I've heard of magnet links but having just done a bit of research into them I think I am indeed using magnets. I predominantly download torrents from piratebay who apparently recently switched from torrents to magnet links. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrnissehult Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 I have the same problem. Have been using uTorrent for several years, and its not until my latest reinstall I see this issue. I see the issue on two different computers. The problem is reproducible - I get it every time. If I can do something more to help (such as enable logging or something, let me know)In both cases, the following happen:1) I go to a site with torrents.2) I click a magnet link- uTorrent starts (since Windows is configured to open magnet links in utorrent)- The Add New Torrent dialog appears.- If I show the details section in this dialog, I see that "Start torrent" is selected3) I click OK in the Add new torrent dialog- The torrent appears in the list, with the status "Downloading 0.0%"- Roughly ~15 seconds later, the status changes to "Stopped 0.0%"If I right-click on the torrent again and choose Start, the downloading starts again.All settings in uTorrent are default. I experienced this issue on a brand new PC with a Windows 7 installation performed by HP. Since I see the issue on several machines all using default uTorrent settings, I assume this is a uTorrent bug.Since the torrent status is "Downloading" for ~15 seconds before it goes to Stopped state, it has fooled me several times into thinking that its downloading just fine.

Naki Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 Happens to me too. Problem seems to be with Magnet links only - standard torrents start automatically as they should just fine. Using uTorrent 3.2, Windows 7 64-bit SP1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkflux Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 i was finally able to fix this. i searched the entire C: drive for "utorrent", and deleted any folders with this name. then i opened the registry, and, starting from My Computer at the top, i searched for and deleted any entries with "torrent" in them.it is important to NOT go in and randomly change or delete any system entries in the registry without knowing what is what, so if you are unfamiliar with the registry, you should NOT do what i did, and it weould be better to just reinstall Windows (and probably quicker).nonetheless, since i did this and reinstalled uTorrent, it has not stopped a single torrent i've added...now, if Demonoid would finally return, my life could get back to normal!

DreadWingKnight Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 then i opened the registryWhere uTorrent does NOT store ANY settings, wasting your time, and risking the stability of your computer for no reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
