NoOneImportant Posted April 20, 2013 Report Share Posted April 20, 2013 Just have a bit of weird one, I have not come across this before but I have a file called test_file_1 automatically add itself and start downloading without adding it to the queue.I deleted it this morning and it added itself and started downloading again. It's not downloading anything to my download folder but it says in utorrent its 1GB in file size.I am running a beta version of utorrent 1.9.0 (29250).Any advice if this is just uTorrent updating/grabbing beta information or something more sinister.This is part of the tracker: cd.saucers.utorrent.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeyconnick Posted April 21, 2013 Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 I've had this same problem since yesterday (Fri Apr 19). Kinda disturbing! :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xindy Posted April 21, 2013 Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 I am also running beta version of utorrent 1.9.0 (29250). A file called test_file_1 automatically add itself. Being disconcerted I deleted the file which later restarted on its own. The file is downloading tothe following location /Users/xxxxx/Library/Application Support/uTorrent/share/test_file_1 tracker info as follows udp://d4.6b.de.12.52.13.eb.0d.eb.b3.0a.8f.c6.ee.a4.7e.9e.7e.b2.cd.saucers.utorrent.com/?auth=8a79855175bd6be2dfcdf0a019a5db7cd9263b14f41110c294f814f6c096bc1981e472716eb8309d3497343d0b506b5ec9934d2fb193fa39c5a95b6d04f27f9af6f06bb145057cc08fe10d223511de466ae541e80c997aeb475993fb4ea4310fThere seem to be significant amounts having this issue. Some clarification is in order! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldybut Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 Just about the time I was going to post "no problem here" --- my mac became non-responsive and that thing popped up as you described. I did a "remove all files" and will watch for its return.uTorrent Version 1.9.0 (29250) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catgirl Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 Ditto. I just hit the stop button, but I left it in the window to see what would happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catgirl Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 10 minute update: I've had a chance to examine the file a bit in the window.I've had my application open all night to seed. The test_file_1 torrent indicates that it has 38 seeds and 9072 peers. It also indicates that it's 99% downloaded, and that it's 1.0 GB. But I went to check the file in my user Library, and it's only 86KB. At the moment, it's just sitting in the window, paused, with a grey button next to the name. I'd like to delete it, but it will probably just start again. I'd love to have an answer asap. Maybe an admin knows?I'm also running uTorrent Version 1.9.0 (29250). I honestly think this might be a virus. Is that possible?UPDATE: adding screenshot of Tracker window, in case it's useful: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockett Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 Hey all, it looks like our dev team found the source of this, a bit of test code that ended up in the most recent beta version. We're looking into disabling the test downloads server-side so users won't have to update their beta versions, I'll let you know when we've made the change. Thanks to everyone who reported this, and let me know if you have any questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockett Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 Okay, the change has been made on our end and you shouldn't encounter either of these files any more. If you do, or see anything similar, please let us know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
