Me vs uTorrent 3.0

(1/3) > >>

sackii:
Today, I decided to upgrade my awesome uTorrent 2.2 to make use of the new remote option. (https://remote.utorrent.com/). It's pretty neat and works magic with the android app and well enough with the iPhone's Browser. You guys should check it out.

Anyhow, since I'll be wanting to add torrents from anywhere now, I started adding every RSS I use to uTorrent, maybe set a few auto-downloads here and there. The first problem arose : automatic RSS downloads won't use the correct Label I've assigned them in its settings. My reaction? Of course I'd want to remove that particular label named nyaaTorrent... right-click the nyaaTorrent label in the category tab... click remove... Boom, uTorrent removed every single one of my 791 torrents and my 60+ labels.

No matter what you do, if you're pretty much using uTorrent as an anime Browser like me and making full use of the labels, don't mess around with uTorrent 3.0, because you'll also have to replace your mouse. Used Azureus since its debut until it got renamed Vuze and became crap, then went to uTorrent without ever looking back... Now I'm heartbroken.

Anyone else with problems with uTorrent? Or if you have a good browsing system to share (not WMC)... Yoroshiku onegai shimasu ;)

I use uT 1.8.5 and 2.2.1 (on different computers) and have no problems, well, other than the fact that I cannot use more than ~1.5GB as cache, since if the uT process hits 2GB memory usage it crashes (because it is a 32bit process and does not use AWE, which would allow 32bit processes to access more than 4GB RAM).
Other than that, uT is very stable, does not use a lot of CPU, so it's good enough for me.

Also, if I wanted remote access, I would use something else. I'm planning to buy a Viliv N5 or a similar device (has to be x86 and have a decent keyboard, basically, a modern Psion Series 5, but also with x86), then I will be able to VPN to my network and use radmin.

if you haven't opened and closed your utorrent repeatedly there is a good chance there is still a backup of your setting before you removed all that stuff in the utorrent settings folder.

That sounds pretty clever.  It had never occurred to me to make my uTorrent cache that large in order to remove most of the hard drive accesses.  What time intervals do you use to force writes of the cache to hard drive?

lol wut? i dont have any problems with 3.0's labeling, just deselect the label by "right-click->left-click the checked label".
