Great, thanks so much, Daniel. I downloaded the older version and presto, the issue is fixed. And hat-tip to the tracker you cited for a quality burn in that last sentence! Heh.

I had enough trouble with utorrent in the last six months that I just gave up, and switched to Transmission. I don't like the UI as much, but it works fine.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I've been a Vuse devotee for a long time. I just wish I could get the RSS plugin working.

Right now, I usually find torrents on a different machine from where Vuse is running. Vuse monitors the dropbox folder where I dump them, and as long as that PC is running, I can trigger from wherever. This would be much more useful if WakeOnLAN worked, but as it, works well enough.

I just don't know what to do with that process with magnets...

I had also posted the issue on utorrent forum and they got back to me with "tell your tracker admins to report the bug". Hahaha! Priceless.

I am a creature of habit and I have been using utorrent for something like 7 years. I'll stick with it a little longer but if it gives me grief again, I'll be looking around for an alternative.

Hey. New board.

I use transmission running directly on my router saving onto the USB drive hooked into it. Works great. But I don't torrent very much anymore.

OK, is this a weird b.org thing or my computer thing? Suddenly every time I open a page here, the post I typed (and posted) last night in Natter shows up already typed in the box down here. WTF?

That's your browser probably saving the last thing you typed in that field to save you retyping. Is there a javascript way to talk to the browser and tell it not to?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

meara, I'm seeing it too, only since last night and only on b.org. It's not the usual saved form field behavior, because it's always the same post, not the last one.

(Also, for me, it's a post from the discussion of horrible dog killings so disturbing on top of being weird browser behavior!)

Is it a post you posted, or backed out of? And what browser?
