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

:w00t:

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

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. :)

:P

ahh love it been using it since the RC stages.

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

great news ,thanks for info :)

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... :-/

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

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

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

nice, thanks for info. ;)

i'll stay with 1.7.7

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.

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

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.

you can change the tray icon..

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

^This is one of many very nice tray icons I found...
Just put it in %appdata%\uTorrent, and name it tray.ico and/or main.ico ;)

Ooh can't wait till this goes main stream.

thanks. i did it and it worked. Didnt hate the original one but this is better
its black

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

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.

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

thnx for that dude

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

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.

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

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

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