Confusion with uTorrent Remote

[xenador]

Is this required?

I am running uTorrent 3.2.2 on Windows 7 x64. When I first upgraded and reset my preferences, I had no problem. Recently I have been having "Disk Overload" because I forgot to enable "increase automatic cache size when thrashing". I go to enable this, check the box, click "Apply" and an error box saying "Please enter a computer name." pops up. When the box pops up, it also takes me to the "Remote" page of the preferences, but the title remains the same as the previous page I was on (whichever I have clicked "OK" or "Apply" from). This happens even if I got to preferences and all I click is "OK".

I have no idea what is going on. Is uTorrent remote required? I couldn't find that anywhere in the Help / FAQ. Did I get hacked? For now I am leaving uTorrent off. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Preferences -> Remote -> provide a name.

This doesn't answer my question.

Is uTorrent remote required now? I do not want to set it up and have never been asked to. Is this something new in v3.2.2?

No.

Not especially.

It's simply a logic error in coding, the problem is seemingly created by the end user not adding a name after checking and unchecking the "[ ] Enable uTorrent Remote Access".

Yes; it shouldn't happen but it does, and until the developer(s) fix the logic error you simply provide a name whether using remote or not.

OK, that makes sense; it worked to do just what you recommended.

Thank you very much for your help.
