No New Torrent Dialog. Can't Add New Torrents

I'm using uTorrent 3.3 (Build 29462) [32-bit] on Windows 7. Here's my problem...

When I click the "Add Torrent" button, I get the window that pops up and allows me to search for the torrent file I want to add. But, as soon as I click open, nothing happens. If I look quickly, I can faintly see the new torrent dialog pop up for a fraction of a second, and then it disappears.

It just started doing it this morning. I haven't updated anything. I don't think I've made any changes to my PC that would affect uTorrent in any way.

I've tried shutting down uTorrent and starting it back up, restarting the computer. Nothing works. I'm completely unable to add new torrents at this point.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I should also add that I've tried dragging and dropping torrent files into the UI, but I get the same result. Either nothing happens at all, or I get the new torrent dialog flickering for a split second, then disappearing.

I am experiencing the same problems. Just noticed them today for the first time. I've tried the above scenarios with no luck. Also on Windows 7 with uTorrent 3.3 (Build 29462) [32-bit]

I also I have the same problem running 3.3 build 29082.

I have to go manually to the file and add torrent everytime I want to add new torrents. It is really annoying.!!!!!!

uTorrent just started working for me again this afternoon. I've done nothing to it or the computer, but I can open torrents again.

For anyone that comes across this thread at the height of their frustration, there is a solution!

Uninstall uTorrent and select the option to uninstall SETTINGS.

Then reinstall and you should be good to go. It appears that this is a settings incompatibility issue, at least in my case. Annoying that I had to re-add a dozen torrents I was sharing with people, but great that I figured out how to get it working again after a week without the time to look into a solution...

Just had this issue start today. I updated awhile ago. I still had some torrents seeding but couldn't add any new ones. Magnet links open utorrent but do not bring up the normal dialog box. Adding through the file menu or double-clicking a torrent file does not bring it up, either. If I add a torrent from a torrent file, then click on the magnet link for that torrent, it DOES bring up the box that says I already have the torrent in the list, do I want to merge the tracker lists. But there is no torrent in the list and nothing is downloading. Just to reiterate, this is not due to an update, as I update utorrent weeks ago. I don't want to blow away my config and reinstall because I have too many rss feeds. I tried reinstalling over top and that didn't correct the issue.

Also I just noticed that none of my rss feeds are displaying their items in the right pane.

Found a solution although it's not the best...

Close utorrent completely.

Go to your uTorrent install directory (mine is c:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\utorrent)

and delete:

settings.dat

settings.dat.old

resume.dat

resume.dat.old

Then reopen utorrent. You will have to re-enter all your settings, but if you don't delete the rss.dat you'll keep your feeds, at least... :|

I just wanted to check back in with some additional info. This problem had gone away but has returned. I've discovered that if I uncheck the "Show options to change the name and location of the torrent data," torrents will start downloading automatically. But, as soon as I try to re-enable that dialog, it goes right back to not working. It's almost like there's something preventing the new torrent dialog from popping up.

It's on your other display you had connected once.

You can move it back: Alt+Space > M > press any arrow key > move the mouse to your real display.

Andreasvb, you are a savior! It worked. I used ALT+Space+"move the mouse" and that dialog was there! Thank you so much!
