Really!!! Maybe that explains my problem (sorry to hijack skiz.. but this really caught my attention).

I had a whole messload of problems with uT after I upgraded to 1.8.3.My o/s is ubuntu 8.10 and I'm running uT with Wine.

Question for the uT/Ubuntu geeks out there: Can I downgrade to an earlier version of uTorrent and not mess up the torrents I'm running now? Not that any are working, but they're at the seeding level and I don't want to mess that up. What is the earliest version that I can go to that won't give me tracker-errors (private trackers), and is bug-free running with wine?

Thanks in advance for any ideas

Well, you can downgrade without any problems, you will keep your torrents

And there's no bug free version of utorrent for ubuntu (it runs under wine), if you don't want to have any problems i recommend you to go with a linux native bittorrent client. Yeah, there are versions of ut which have less bugs, but when your running apps under wine, it's never perfect.

I've had ubuntu 8.10 too, and for me 1.8.3 was stable and i never had problems. But i've seen a few friends with many problems running that same version in the same OS (dunno why). If that's your case try to downgrade to 1.8.2, unless you use trackers like hdbits or bmtv (you i'll have you client banned

).

If all this doesn't work and you... well, debian works better with utorrent.

Edit: Which trackers errors does it give you and in which trackers?

just upgraded the 1.8.2 version to the 1.8.3 build 15772; it works like a charm.
