BMW-X7 Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 Who cares what they have been developing or going with version system now a days. uTorrent became suck. Now they are more going towards the money point of view. There is no chance of software getting improved. So better start using uTorrent 2.2.1 for downloading torrents. If you are really concern about features in Client then go with latest buggy version which they have been releasing and start feeling pain.

Peer tried to DL a piece while WMP12 was playing the file and it crapped out with "Access Denied". This is on W764, full admin rights, vers 42178. Could be due to WMP's bad habit of "updating" a file's ID3V2 tag if that file is not Read-Only, but I havn't seen this error before w/ uT. Dare I ask a stooopid question??? Why the heck are you playing files while they are still being accessed by UT (or any other software for that matter)?? I just find the idea completely nuts. To me, when you've got your file (any file), move it to a safe place out of reach of everything else and remove it from your UT list of files for seeding. If you want to continue seeding it, copy it. It doesn't make any sense to me to be sharing files that may get altered or locked by another process - that's just daft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafi Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 It's completely reasonable to keep seeding forever, and play the files... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
javacatpaul Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 Both points are valid I suppose. I don't play it until it's all down, and once it is I play it to see if I like it and want to keep it. If I do THEN I copy and encode it, cleaning up the tags etc before adding to my library location. Since playing a file is built right into uT it's pretty clear that doing so was intended by the team, but yes it has its pitfalls, and many beginners do it. Now, if uT managed to mark finished files as read-only AND left them that way then my method would be flawless. But it often turns off the R attribute after the DL is complete and it's only seeding the file. This can cause issues when a player alters the file, as many do (to "update/fill in" the tag, or add things like number-of-plays, volume leveling, cover art, etc.). When that happens the file fails the md5 check and can't be seeded anymore. Experts avoid the problem by controlling their player when they can, beginners don't. Sometimes there's nothing that can be done (WMP12 always tries to add a ID3V2 if one isn't present, regardless of preference settings). Which gets to freedomdwarf's point, why not copy to a "working directory". Well, I do when I intend to keep it. But WHY DOESN'T uT offer that option! Right now it can MOVE a torrent after DL, but that just moves it, it still seeds it from the new location (I never understood why the option was even there, except maybe to move it to NAS). Anyway, I want a COPY option to do just as FD said, give me a copy to work with and leave the DL'd file alone for continued seeding. Then uT could open the files with exclusive access and ensure no one else mangles the md5. This could be beginner proof too, copying the DL to the user's My Music folder by default (yes, I'm being music-centric here, many torrents are not music, sorry). Anyway, 42178 seems about as steady as most prior stable releases, there are still cosmetic issues that have been there for years (literally), but it works pretty well.

javacatpaul Posted April 19, 2016 Report Share Posted April 19, 2016 Ok, now days later and the access error just occured again; BUT nothing except uT is running, I am not playing any tors at all. The exact error message is: [2016-04-19 10:27:43] Error opening "D:\TOR\Shawn Colvin - 9 Albums - 320k VBR\1989 Steady On": [2016-04-19 10:27:43] Error: Shawn Colvin - 9 Albums - 320k VBR - Access is denied. (ReadFromDisk) that made me wonder, both of the above refs are PATHS, not end files. Could a string bug be causing uT to attempt opening the dir instead of the file? these access erros are pretty new, and the latest builds have had some string bugs....

rafi Posted April 22, 2016 Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 Right. So, as I said, it is a DIFFERENT file... Probably w/o the junk-ware... Take the "original" and see for yourself.... :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virus Total show detection rate of 3/56 & 3/55 for both versions (with Avast, GData & Rising). Maybe something to do with OpenCandy in the installer - so, nothing new there.

As you may be aware, there's barely a week that goes by when a user doesn't complain about uTorrent being/containing malware - I wouldn't be surprised it's not down to the horrible OpenCandy.

rafi Posted April 22, 2016 Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 Yes, so? I am also aware tha 99.9% of those do not bother/know how to disable those "malwared-ads". If they will - they will stop complaining... This here this is another story, where every Avast user will be blocked because of that new ad-ware-engine addition, and none of this is their fault. Don't you think?... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike20021969 Posted April 22, 2016 Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 uTorrent should expect a flood of complaints on the forum shortly from disgruntled Avast users. I'm not sure that many always use the latest beta's anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freedomdwarf Posted April 22, 2016 Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 I have to agree with Rafi - the OpenCandy crap is just awful and comes up as malware. If I don't allow OpenCandy 'just this once' (in Malwarebytes), the installer fails. I don't want OpenCandy and I have to go back and uninstall the crap every time I install a later Beta of UT. It's not new, it's been like this for a while, and it's a bloody nuisance. The UT developers need to be rid of OpenCandy completely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
