ReZnoR Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 I have been using "uTorrent 3.2.3 build 285705" for a while now and today I upgraded to "3.4" and started getting all kinds of problems. But the most annoying is this. This happens with a lot of torrent-files. These torrent-files works GREAT in other torrent-clients like "Deluge" and also in the older µTorrent I used before... 3.2.3 build 285705. So apparently there's NOTHING wrong with the torrent-files. But it's a bit frustrating to have more than one torrent-client running. EDIT: I guess the best solution for the moment is to just stick to using the older version of µTorrent since it works flawlessly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 Or to beat the person who made the torrent into using a torrent maker that isn't broken. So apparently there's NOTHING wrong with the torrent-files.Not necessarily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReZnoR Posted February 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 Or to beat the person who made the torrent into using a torrent maker that isn't broken. Not necessarily. But these torrent-files are created in µTorrent. Is there any other torrent-making software except for torrent-clients? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreadWingKnight Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 The 0-length paths in the torrent are actually a violation.The bug isn't in the current uTorrent version. It's in the old one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReZnoR Posted March 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 The 0-length paths in the torrent are actually a violation.The bug isn't in the current uTorrent version. It's in the old one. Ok easy explanation would be: The older versions of µTorrent creates torrent-files that most clients except for the newer versions of µTorrent can read? Like deleted "backward compatibility" or something like that? What do you mean by "violation"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 As in it causes paths that outright break things and are potentially used as system-access exploits against remote computers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReZnoR Posted March 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 As in it causes paths that outright break things and are potentially used as system-access exploits against remote computers. Ok... well I deleted the new µTorrent now and installed 2.2.1 instead. That took care of the problems. And now I can download at full speed again constantly without getting that annoying "disk overload" and "corked jobs" errors I had before. Which shouldn't be a problem when using fast harddrives.

Andreasvb Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 I would take system-access exploits against remote computers very seriously. Also, you're not supported now, e.g. in case you get exploited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vessto Posted March 8, 2014 Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 I upgraded today and instantly got this prob. One of the downloading torrent stopped and I couldn't continue it or start it over again. Could that be fixed? Or I should downgrade to the previous utorrent version I have? PS. I downgraded to 3.3.2 and the torrent started with no probs. Pity it was half-downloaded already before. I hope the bug will be fixed asap so to upgrade again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreasvb Posted March 8, 2014 Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 The bug is fixed, the torrent isn't. Download it with another client that has the bug, or find another torrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vessto Posted March 8, 2014 Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 As developers you could call a bug something we as users call not. And vise versa. The bug I see and face is not fixed. So I will stick with version 3.3.2 or will use another client if necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vessto Posted March 8, 2014 Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 One silly question: Could a .torrent be edited in Notepad and has this "0-length path" manually changed so the file to become acceptable for the newest utorrent version? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted March 8, 2014 Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 FUCK NO.DO NOT USE NOTEPAD.THAT WILL COMPLETELY DESTROY THE TORRENT. Also, it would need to be PROPERLY edited on the site it was uploaded to AND re-downloaded by people currently on it for it to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vessto Posted March 8, 2014 Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 Oh, thank you! As I said it was a silly question. Is this 0-lenght as much a sign someone will get access to my PC? Or it just was made with "wrong" client version? If really this prevents me I can use the newest version of utorrent. I download tons of book on KAT, most from ppl I know and they'd never make a "dangerous" .torrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReZnoR Posted March 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 The bug is fixed, the torrent isn't. Download it with another client that has the bug, or find another torrent. Please explain how this can't be a bug in µTorrent? The torrent-files with this "path-problem" have been created both with older AND latest version of µTorrent. Also it appears to be a very RANDOM problem... because it's not specific to any size or number of files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreadWingKnight Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 Editing the paths in a torrent will affect the torrent's infohash. You will need to get the torrents updated on the website you're getting the torrents from as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 I have been investigating, and 100% of the torrents I've seen generating this issue have been created or manipulated by the libraries of the rutorrent frontend for rtorrent.I'm hoping to get them informed of this.As of now, this issue is CLOSED.
