uTorrent+Wine issues on Ubuntu

**lysine** · 09-28-2008, 08:50 PM

what version of wine is it?

wine --version

try compiling the latest version from here:
http://winehq.org/

I had that problem with older versions on fedora, but since v1.1.5 I haven't seen it come up.

It`s using wine 1.1.5. (ubuntu) (1.1.1 debian)

I`ll try compiling it rather than using the binary.

Edit: Compiled 1.1.5 on debian etch and the error still occurs so I`m stuck on what to do next.

Just a heads up for people who`ve been experiencing this error on linux. It`s been patched and it`s available in wine`s latest source which can be obtained by using git. Peers can now stay connected rather than be dropped when the uploads speed goes over 1MB/s.

The bug had been present since 0.9.40 version of wine. (May/June 2007)

Code:

sudo apt-get install git-core 

git clone git://source.winehq.org/git/wine.git wine

After that compile. (64 bit users see http://wiki.winehq.org/WineOn64bit for instructions)

Dude try "Deluge".. In my box utorrent+wine dont connect to all the peers when im uploading a torrent for example... but Deluge is the best and I could easily reach 11mb/s

That`s exactly what this patch fixes. It used to drop connections to peer`s when their upload speed got over 1MB/s.

Anyway I use rtorrent with wtorrent gui now but thought I`d post the info for people still using uTorrent.

Deluge has been banned at some trackers for reporting bad stats though...
