I am currently downloading at about 220KiB/s with 4% CPU and 18 megs of ram used (6.5 megs of it cache).

There is no flicker as there was before, but I only have one torrent. Some stuff still doesn't work:

-No transparency in the icons up top. I am about to fix this with the GIMP.

-No icons on the tabs.

Nothing else! Just thought I would share the good news for you Linux users :).

Edit:

Mmm, I'm using Ubuntu 6.06 Dapper, Wine 0.9.15 and µTorrent 1.5.1 Beta 465 and flickering is still there for me :(.

Anyway, I have a question for more experienced Linux users:

- Is there any way to set µTorrent as the default bittorrent client when opening a .torrent from Firefox?

Wine .16 just came out, might wanna try that.

Firon: Thanks, I'll try that.

kewldude607: How are you setting your Wine (XP/W98), another setting I should try?

I am actually using 2000. :).

The only thing that bugs me is that because uT has a systray icon, there is a whole new window open with just that little icon. I just moved it to another virtual desktop tho.

Well, I've made a "file association" this way:

Added this line to my crontab

* * * * * DISPLAY=":0" /home/diego/torrents/utorrentbash.sh

Created a file named utorrentbash.sh in /home/diego/torrents <- this is where I download the .torrent files

Content of utorrentbash.sh

#!/bin/bash

ps -C utorrent.exe | grep -q 'utorrent.exe'

if [[ ${?} -eq 0 ]]

then

exit 0

else

# Replace with your own .torrent path to autoload .torrents

if [ -f /home/diego/torrents/*.torrent ]

# Replace with your own utorrent.exe path

then wine "c:\archivos de programa\utorrent\utorrent.exe"

else #There is no new torrent to add - Just exit

exit 0

fi

fi

# END

exit 0

Don't forget to make the file executable.

Note: I've set to delete .torrents from that folder once they're loaded in µTorrent preferences.

With the patch an icon appears in gnome's notification area and you can

restore a responsive Pegasus from there

What is not so nice:

- You can restore the Pegasus window, but the horizontal size is wrong (far

too small);

- The Pegasus icon still appears on the task bar (and is unusable);

- Also when you change desktops, Pegasus re-appears unresponsive. Also here

the notification area can be used to get a working window.

------------------------------------------------------------------

so it is an OLD wine bug known from at least Jul 2004 . Everything including wrong horizontal size and empty window after clicking on taskbar is the same. There is a patch for tray to gnome notification area thing somewhere, will keep diggin.
