Smartsasse Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 Hello.Two updates ago many people had problem with that torrents got stuck on "Checking 0.0%" and nothing more happend. Well, I just updated uTorrent today and the problem came back.I tried stopping the torrent and then start it. I tried remove it, and the data for it, and then add the same torrent again but no luck.The problem disappeared after I restarted uTorrent. But still may be worth taking into consideration if more people experience the same problem./Sasse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groundrunner Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 Yes, this bug is back in build 29533. Now I have to restart uTorrent 4 times to get my four new downloads unstuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick@birdsglobal.com Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 Me too...I removed everything apart from utorrent.exe and settings.dat, removed all .torrent files from current torrents and downloaded torrents..and basically cleaned out the system and started afresh..the problem hasnt come back yet.

Ctor Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 Just auto-updated to v3.3 b29533, same issue: torrents stop at 'checked 0.0%'. When I stop and restart uTorrent they start downloading.I use Windows 7 home premium on a Toshiba Qosmio laptop.Is there a way to revert to an older version without this problem?I've checked my windows 'system restore', but alas...This morning (14 april '13) I got an update to build 29544, it solved the problem!

JMJimmy Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 This lack of fixing such a critical issue is beyond me. I'm looking at alternatives - you don't break your product's core functionality and go through multiple upgrade cycles without doing something about it. If a change broke things, rolll it back until you figure it out - don't use your stable release stream to test (that's what the alpha/beta streams are for... but utorrent seems to have it backwards).

rafi Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 It doesn't happen for me... Can any of you post the magnet + your settings.dat so to be able to reproduce it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a change broke things, rolll it back until you figure it outYep...The slowdown on resolving issues seems to have started after the changing of the guard (ludde) occurred around when the 3 series came out.

rafi Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 after the changing of the guard (ludde) occurred ... Maybe you can be more constructive and give the info I have suggested. That might make things go a bit faster... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beasly Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 no reason for me to give you my setting.dat....my problems in utorrents performance is not in question.....Just answering JMJimmy's comment on the new teams approach on the releasing updates and fixes.You see the difference though, right!...before and after the ludde era!

rafi Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 Well, in that case, please don't download mine ... If I see a difference? Sure, in many of aspects. Do you think that non of the endless issues that *were* fixed are ludde's "fault" ? Do you think that (for example) uTP wasn't ludde's thought too, that was later evolved (yes, with issues)? There is always a learning curve, and new stuff - means new problems. It is called evolution.. sometimes it hearts... OK, more to the point - I suppose so. My logical explanation is - one horse pulls the wagon in one direction, many horses - seem to pull it in different directions, so it is slower this way... How does that sound to you ? ...

Groundrunner Posted April 13, 2013 Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 Shouldn't be necessary to post more info; I'm sure they know the cause as they've already fixed it once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafi Posted April 13, 2013 Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 I'm sure they know...I guess so, but I'm not so sure as you are ... They didn't re-fix 3.3 yet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ikurua22 Posted April 13, 2013 Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 Yeah I have a same problem I'm using 3.2, and this problem(checking 0.0%), so I upgrade to 3.3 B29533 32bit. But no luck.What I do is(2-4 times in each try!!):- Re-install uTorrent- Reset Preferences & set them again- Change Download Location (Put new downloads in, Move Completed DLs to)- Exit,wait,Remove resume.dat AND resume.dat.old,RestartWTF is going on My Internet is NO PROBLEMMy PC is NO PROBLEMuTorrent HAS A PROBLEMAnd I also found thatwhen I right-click the row which has an "Checked 0.0%" issue, and click "Open containing folder",uT opens "My Documents" folder, not a download folder("Put new downloads in").So I thinkthere's some bug in folder-setting mechanism...

rafi Posted April 13, 2013 Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 and this problem(checking 0.0%)There is a bug in 3.3 build 29533. So I suggest to just be patient, and wait for build 29544 (already mentioned on the downloads web-page) to be uploaded/posted ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMJimmy Posted April 13, 2013 Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 settings were default (except for show plus/featured/sidebar) and it was any magnet not a specific one.I've moved to qBitTorrent for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomeoneWhoIsntTheUser Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 So I'm getting offered to download a "New Stable version for v3.3 (Build 29544). I 've been looking around for an article or comment legitimizing the update, and haven't found anything(short of this thread) that has ANYTHING to do with "Build 29544," so I'm weary of it. There's viral downloads/updates everywhere these days, I feel by downloading in 2013, I am doing the equivalent of playing Russian Roulette with a 1911 or having unprotected intercourse with a third-world hooker....... I digress. I need to know if its even worth DL the new build "29544," or if its bunk corruption like Java was. A reply with a mere hint of wisdom in this utorrent build matter would be appreciated considerably more than you'd realize. Thank you for your time.

ikurua22 Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 Calm down man, I can see the word "µTorrent Stable (3.3 build 29544)" in here:http://www.utorrent.com/downloads/But I won't try that - because, Changelog is not updated.http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=130844I'm happy because I can start downloading using uTorrent 3.2.3 build 28705.I get it from OldApps.com. Forget about this bug... use an old version might be an answer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafi Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 It says build 29544 is out and ready to update.... You think its a lie/viral hoax?No, I think not uploading the newly-fixed build (nor it's changelog) is only related to weekend's inefficiency... here ya go...build 29544http://ll.download3.utorrent.com/3.3/uTorrent.exe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyphaz Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 Thank you for the 29544 version update as it seems to be functioning without problemation.Still only time will tell if it remains stable... *keeping fingers crossed* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMJimmy Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 29544 is still broken. I tested it with 5 different torrents, all stuck on "connecting to peers" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
