uTorrent 1.8 Has Been Born!

[Theory11]

Yes. Finally. After a year of development, 1.8 has finally gone stable. The main major feature added is Teredo and IPv6 support, but there's a slew of smaller features, changes and improvements. The changelog is absolutely massive, so check it out down below.

For those with "HTTP 400" error, that is a problem with NOD32. Please disable IMON or upgrade to 3.x.

Other major features are bypassing the Windows system cache (see the Disk Cache settings), significantly improved proxy support, and magnet URIs.

\o/ ayeeeeee.....














Ill stay still with 1.7 tho....

[aysomc]

anybody know for a fact which trackers are or arent allowing this. i just dont want to have to keep switching back and forth because of stupid new exploits being found on software that hasnt been tested well enough.

[OmaRin0]

Cool I will dl it right now

[dr jones]

uTorrent rules for ever

[eram]

sounds cool .but i´ll wait till they fix all bugz. annoying they are! :)

[Snake91]

Gee, what a big change log......though I bet most of it means nothing and it will be the same beyond minor bug fix

azaurus still has waaay more features.

[`Dr. Nick Riviera`]

Geez, it has been developed for a year with a large amount of beta testers, why do you think it's buggy? :blink:

[SenorBubbz]

Old news, kinda.

I've been using it since yesterday morning and it's actually really good.

true actually

[puckface]

and still, no official webui that works with Firefox 3, or Safari for that matter.

and still, no official webui that works with Firefox 3, or Safari for that matter.

Firefox 3 isn't that good anyway. The dictionary is fucked up (everytime I write a word with an apostrophe in it such as "can't" or "won't" it says that I misspelled it) and after you type a certain amount, spellchecker stops working.

And no addons work for it. None, at all. All of the good ones were left behind at FF2.

The only reason I still have FF3 is because of the awesome default skin.

[fOrUmAs]

most sites have allowed 1.8 they have even allowed betas and rc

atm only SCA (SCC) havent allowed yet since it was not stable untill today,so there will be also allowed soon or it already is.

utorrent 1.8 is great piece of software :)

[SenorBubbz]

What is Teredo?

A little google search told me what I needed to know.

But whenever I click the button to install it and it gets greyed out, it comes back a few minutes later. According to the changelog that's not supposed to happen if it's installed correctly.

I don't know what FF3 you're using, but mine works perfectly, and all addons. Thats not the point though, why wouldn't the webui work in FF3 (been out a month) or Safari (been out forever)?

[TP635]

It lead to hashfail for those downloading from peers with that ver. I had to stop one of my torrent because I have such a high hashfail (2x the size of the file; about 4BG).

Maybe it's the config.

Nice attitude. Suppose everybody thinks that way, how do you think stable software will ever be developed? :(



But the point is: utorrent staff are lazy, always have been. Either that, or they are extremely slow.

How much do you pay for utorrent? The utorrent staff did not fulfil the contract they made with you? Sue them.

it sucks, and ain't work giving them all that add money...

[The Wanderer]

Being an active tester and poster on their forums, I can tell you that you are completely wrong. The work alus and Firon put in this awesome piece of software deserves only :clap:'s.


But the point is: utorrent staff are lazy, always have been. Either that, or they are extremely slow.

[aaatoel]

Good news! :) I didn't try any of the beta versions but I believe that this stable version will be cool! Let's see whether 1.7.7 will be banned or not...

[Tanuki]

They are a legit corporation now, it's their job to keep making utorrent.


Corporation or not. As long as I don't have to pay for something I don't complain. At least I would not call them lazy. IHMO feels not right.



It's just a matter of time until what I said happens and everyone goes running to Vuze (azures).

And Vuze is open source. Something I really prefer with applications like bittorent clients.

[DuDutchy]

Mac version is coming very soon, according to TorrentFreak. :w00t::w00t:

[jukesta]

Old news, kinda.

I've been using it since yesterday morning and it's actually really good.

i didnt know yesterday morning was old -.-

[fOrUmAs]

I'm sure they wouldn't care when they lost half their userbase when they were too slow to patch a bug that exposes the user's computer to attack. They are a legit corporation now, it's their job to keep making utorrent.

It's just a matter of time until what I said happens and everyone goes running to Vuze (azures).

u sure ?? who cares how sure u are since u dont have anything with dev. of utorrent or u how many userbase utorrent have...please

if someone would ask for your opinion on that one then fine but dont talk something that u dont know shit please

also with your all posts in this thread..

and from your last words i can see that u are pretty much some funboy of azureus aka Vuze which no once cares for long time..

this isnt the thread abouth how u feeling right now since utorrent 1.8 is out it just to inform people to get one...

[rtxs]

new version of utorrent must be very cool :D

[condom-man]

great

thanks firon and everyone involved in developing utorrent . azureus sucks stupid noobs

azureus isn't really the first alternative client that hits my mind if i were to change from utorrent. i'd probably go with deluge before crappy azureus :D

Since this has turned into an "attack SenorBubbz's stupid comments instead of ignoring them" type of thread, I'll stop posting here.

my post wasn't meant that way.. i was attacking azureus, not you :)

I've used utorrent forever. That was the point of the post, if the staff get lazy (aka, releasing patches late), then people will end up going to Vuze, the biggest piece of trash ever.

*Last Post in this Thread*

[mrnobody]

meh, new utorrent icon (desktop, shortcut) is ugly.

[kooftspc11]

born? seems more like a miscarriage...

i miss the old system tray icon. it looked like a goofy smiley face :(

[LuckIEE]

i think utorrent is the way to go as always because it uses very little memory and i dont know how they do it but simple is always the best and it doesnt get any more simpler then utorrent.

Edit: Can you guys help and list the sites that you are using utorrent 1.8 that would be a great help.
i think bitmetv is allowing it

[kondrae]

scc and BitMeTV now allows 1.8 as of today

[import_fighter]

Has anyone had any problems with their what.cd torrents and 1.8? Its giving me (offline)timed out on tracker status?

[waeldiab]

its not working in TTI

[kondrae]

1.8 works on tti for me

[Funkin']

azureus isn't really the first alternative client that hits my mind if i were to change from utorrent. i'd probably go with deluge before crappy azureus :D

I've already switched to Halite. Almost every tracker accepts it, it's more lightweight than uTorrent, and it's open source. Plus the interface is very uTorrent'ish. So it's not really that hard of a transition.

[Peanut]

ill stick with the one i have

[takun]

It may seem petty but I also dislike the new icon.

[Eargasm]

First, off... Great new icon!

Second...


Fix: crash with Torrent and RSS items selected when setting labels

:w00t:

Third, I'm glad they've kept it small.

[The Wanderer]

Actually the uT devs already released a new version patching few minor bugs. It's still 1.8 but the build changed from build 11742 to build 11758. So if you downloaded 1.8 yesterday, re-download it again. :)

[LeBronJames]

I'm gonna hold off for a bit

[JROQuinn]

u dont like icons? Change it urself, stfu & gtfo! :yup:

:P

[Ramus]

ahh love it been using it since the RC stages.

[TP635]

I 'll stick with what I have as for now, until trackers banned it.

[adissan]

great news ,thanks for info :)

[aaatoel]

Is it true that you can't manually update the tracker?!?! A friend told me about this and I am trying to figure out if this is true... :-/

[`Dr. Nick Riviera`]

You can manually update it, but now there is a delay between updates...
And that's a good thing...

[Eargasm]

Wasn't there already a 15 minute delay, by default?

edit: Yeah the xx:xx minutes until update dialog went away.

[pifpaf]

nice, thanks for info. ;)

[PunX]

i'll stay with 1.7.7

[The Wanderer]

Now there is a minimum interval (available in "Trackers" tab) to update the tracker (minimum interval given by the tracker), so you can't hammer the tracker from 10 to 10s.

[forthat]

this is a problem to me..........when there is a ip change that make's me lot of problems.......my ip address changes very frequesntly

some the upload and download are not credited in my account.......

not all tracker's have approved this client.....

[usersec]

not all tracker's have approved this client.....

true, better to wait till new version will be allowed everywhere :cool:

[lukee]

I love it. When i download a pack. i don't have to select a shitload of files for one movie (rar'd). i just need to select the folder and that's it :) The RSS is great too. I actually use it now :) The only thing i don't like is the tray icon.

[import_fighter]

you can change the tray icon..

[danio]

i refuse to change yet. i'll wait a month or so until a wave of 10+ forced updates is over :P.

vuze was slowing down my pc too much.

[bikini-dudes]

Oh my, up until now I've been using limewire to handle my torrents. I love Utorrrent

I take you haven't yet migrated off public trackers?

Well young padawan, you have a lot to learn, pull up a chair and get yourself comfy :whistling

[puckface]

[LubTheStaringCat]

I use 1.7.7, Is It worth upgrading to 1.8.
or should I wait.

[integral]

I recently upgraded to the latest build of uTorrent, after it randomly crashed (first time ever), and then magically appeared with an update notice as soon as I ran it again. :shifty:

Can't really notice any differences performance-wise, design is a bit different, tray icon has changed of course. I haven't read the changelog or done anything except download and seed a torrent on it yet, so if you're just an average torrenter who just does the basics, I wouldn't feel pressured to upgrade, unless trackers start disallowing the previous uTorrent.

[psychophil]

Been using it for about a day now, and no problems as of yet:shutup:

[helpme]

thnx for that dude

Thanks for that m8, I think I'll just wait and see.

[rofln00b]

As far as I'm concerned the only reason to upgrade would be if trackers started to ban the old client, I dont really miss any functionality in the 1.7.7 build.

[kuracat]

as usually probably some one them will ban 1.7.7, and some of them, at least one, wont allow 1.8 :lol:

[troughmonkey]

im using it and i love it
a few of my torrents seem to actually going a bit faster

[GXice]

Its great, excellent torrent client as always. I dislike the new RSS view though, but doesnt matter. :D
