Utorrent 1.8 / 1.8.1 beta doesn't work under Wine 1.1.3

It starts properly, but when you choose to add any torrent-> it just can't connect to any tracker... So it doesn't allow you to download ANYTHING.

It says, under "Trackers" tab: "Hostname not found"...

Using uTorrent 1.8.1 rev 11903 under Wine 1.1.3 under Ubuntu 8.04 i can not confirm this.

11903 is a broken release btw. Please update to 11962.

I'm using Freebsd 7.0 with Wine 1.3.1 and the newest version - Utorrent 1.8.1 beta build 12024

IT DOESN'T WORK

It can't even check if there's a new version of utorrent available-> i'm getting this: "Unable to contact Utorrent update server"

I also checked BitComet - and it's working properly.. On the same OS platform, the same Wine 1.3.1...

So, it's not a problem with my conf or something...

... have you changed any of the networking configuration options in Preferences?

I use Ubuntu 8.04 with Wine 1.3.1 and µTorrent 1.8.1 Beta build 1204 and it works perfectly. As it has with all the previous beta versions. No problem at all!

Wine is at 1.1.3 ATM... :|

@deathnoise: Hm. Have you tried a clean install of µTorrent?

Sorry, typo: Wine 1.1.3!

@deathnoise: Use this LD_PRELOAD-able wrapper.

I think, this is a wine problem. Because getaddrinfo is called with ai_socktype=0 as hint, which makes the FreeBSD getaddrinfo fail with EAI_SERVICE, as seen in debugging output.

But this is valid on windows, so wine has to be extended on FreeBSD in order to prevent getaddrinfo calls with ai_socktype=0.

Compile this file (gcc -shared -o foobar.so foobar.c):

#include <string.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <netdb.h>
#include <dlfcn.h>

static int (*next_getaddrinfo)(const char *hostname, const char *servname, const   struct addrinfo *hints, struct addrinfo **res) = NULL;

int getaddrinfo(const char *hostname, const char *servname,
  const struct addrinfo *hints, struct addrinfo **res) {
  const char *msg;
  int ret;

  struct addrinfo my_hints;

  if(next_getaddrinfo == NULL) {
    next_getaddrinfo = dlsym(RTLD_NEXT, "getaddrinfo");

    if ((msg = dlerror()) != NULL) {
      fprintf(stderr, "ioctl: dlopen failed : %s\n", msg);
      fflush(stderr);
      exit(1);
    }
  }

  my_hints = *hints;

  if(hints->ai_socktype == 0) {
    my_hints.ai_socktype = SOCK_STREAM;
  }
  ret = next_getaddrinfo(hostname, servname, &my_hints, res);
  fprintf(stderr, "getaddrinfo(%s, %s, {family=%x,socktype=%x,protocol=%x})\n",    hostname, servname, my_hints.ai_family,my_hints.ai_socktype,my_hints.ai_protocol);
  fflush(stderr);
  return ret;
}

You should probably file that as a bug or something for Wine so they can incorporate the fix into their own codebase.
