"uTorrent cancelled reboot"

Every time I try to reboot/shutdown computer with opened uTorrent, it closes and Mac OS shows subj. message.

Here is the original:

ps: Thanks for the last update =)

So you're running .90.1 ?

yeah.

v 0.9.0.1

oh,

Mac OS X 10.5.5

Is there anything listed in Console.app when this happens?

So that's all you see, nothing else? Honestly I don't know the procedure of who tells what... but that second message sounds like uT was ready to close. :/

Yeah, it shuts down, when i press reboot button, but it cancels reboot too :/

Same here. It always cancel the shotdown.

I've got the same problem here...

Eh, µtorrent isn't the only program out there that will cancel a reboot. For instance Apple's own Mail.app will stop cancel a shutdown or reboot sometimes. There's more than a few apps out there that will. I don't think that it's a µtorrent specific bug.

The easiest fix is to shut µtorrent down before rebooting and shutting your Mac down. Why are you shutting down with an app that is accessing the your network anyway?

It is a uT-specific bug. And Apple fixed the problem with Mail.app canceling reboots in 10.5.6 that was released yesterday.

I get the same problem - that uTorrent has cancelled the shutdown, but I notice that the application has quit anyway. Perhaps something in the shutdown sequence it goes through cancels the shutdown?

Yes, I get this every time I shut down my machine.

It happens to me too. Ver. 0.9.0.4 PPC

Please fix this.

I would like my Mac to switch ON and OFF at the times I specify as my ISP allocates me an off-peak quota, and I would not like to be bandwidth shaped or have to monitor my mac to see if it is ON or OFF.

Sure if Mail.app might exhibit the same behaviour therefore you assume it is not a bug. But Safari does not have this behaviour.

Please test and fix.

Are you sure you are returning what you should to the quit message? Just a guess.. I don't know too much about mac APIs, but that call surely must have a return value(???) BTW it happens to me too (v0.9.1.2)

And what about with 0.9.2?

It still happens with 0.9.2.

Its not a matter of calls having return values or not. µT just needs to respond to different notifications differently, instead of a generic way to handle quit messages. Simple enough to implement, just a matter of finding the time to implement it.

(note: i'm not a dev for µT)

This is an issue having to do with the fact that uTorrent tries to gracefully shut down all of it's tracker connections and properly release any upnp ports it may have been issued. The timeout value for trackers and upnp routers that are unresponsive is long enough to cause a shutdown to cancel.

I'll see if we can get a fix in to the next 0.9.2 beta release candidate.

I will just let you know I have the same problem and I'm looking forward to next version where it will be fixed

hello theron, the developer

i just upgraded to 0.9.3 (17921), yet i still get the 'utorrent canceled shutdown' message.

i am running snow leopard 10.6.2, i kick off utorrent at night from 11pm, and i schedule my laptop to shutdown daily at 7am. but utorrent is preventing me to shutdown my laptop.

the developer mentioned getting this fix in 0.9.2, but this issues is still here for 0.9.3

*** feb 7, 2010 *****

how often do developer read this forum??

This is a really annoying bug, but thankfully I found a fix:

http://blamcast.net/articles/the-application-utorrent-canceled-restart

Only works with snow leopard. Enjoy

PS: uTorrent devs, if you use this fix in a future release, please link to my site with credit. Thanks!

But does this allow a graceful quit? One where the trackers see your sessions as having ended?

Similar to this on Windows?
