AJerman Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Looks very nice! Too bad I don't use Windows or torrents much anymore, I kinda want to try it out, haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MFH Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Somehow they managed to make the interface worse every time since they started with the 2.0 version? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Udedenkz Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 This version doesn't want to open files dictated by chrome/firefox - says that it cannot find the file specified, I had to manually add the torrent from %TEMP% Something is odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you tried re-associating the program with your torrents? I think there's an option in the Preferences to check filetype associations on startup.

xendrome Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 I went back to 2.x, because when I was using 3.x beta it seemed to be much slower in working with a large number of download/uploads at once.. Anyone notice if this one seems snappy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hollow.Droid Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 I like the look of it but anything above 1.8.x doesn't work with uremote :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there's an option in the Preferences to check filetype associations on startup. It only happens with ';' That is "totally;legit.torrent" will not load. actually then it might have been an issue with 2.x as well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliot B. Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 It's very ugly. How can I get the graph background back to blue How can I remove the sidebar to the left? I can minimize it but not hide it :/ How can I hide the Progress bar in the background of the Status column? Disabling gui.graphic_progress doesn't do it.

+theblazingangel MVC Posted June 23, 2011 MVC Share Posted June 23, 2011 Damn it, they've screwed up sorting by status, before it was [queued][downloading, low% -> high%][seeding] which was fine, now it's [downloading, high% -> low%][seeding][queued] which is in some ways better, but why the hell is [seeding] in the middle, it should be last... And there's no way to get rid of that stupid bar on the left, I like to keep things clean and simple, I hate useless clutter :crazy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon H Supervisor Posted June 23, 2011 Supervisor Share Posted June 23, 2011 been running 3.0 since the early betas it runs fine for me, the bar on the side doesn't really bother me, in a collapsed state it doesn't take up all that much space Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cacoe Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 I'm still merrily using 1.8.5 with no problems at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buio Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Utorrent v3.0 works fine for me. After a bit of tweaking with the columns in 3.0, the UI looks like it did in 2.x which is what I wanted. Only minor thing I don't like is the status column/bar, which has green for seeding and a just slightly darker green for ready (not seeding). Makes it hard to quickly see which torrents are stopped and which are seeding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cute James Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 How can I remove the sidebar to the left? I can minimize it but not hide it :/ Preferences --> Advanced --> gui.enable_sidebar_buttons Cheers, James x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidnightDevil Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 I've been using it for a while (out of curiosity mostly) and even tho the GUI seems a little bit heavier than previous versions (lost some of its simplicity) the downloads speed seems pretty much the same for me. There's also that DNA thingy there that its supposed to be another source to download which in theory speeds up the downloads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DudeBro Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 It's very ugly. How can I get the graph background back to blue How can I remove the sidebar to the left? I can minimize it but not hide it :/ How can I hide the Progress bar in the background of the Status column? Disabling gui.graphic_progress doesn't do it. In advanced options, change "gui.enable_enable_sidebar_buttons" to "false" and then hide the category list with F7. As for the graph background, rafi posted a skin on the utorrent forums that changes some stuff back to 2.x colors http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=98500&p=29 Tweaking the advanced options and columns a little bit allowed me to make it look almost like version 2.x which is the look that I prefer. I'm using custom toolbar graphics from 2.x versions and there's extra buttons that aren't skinned but it's no big deal. So far so good 3.0 works fine for me. I don't notice any real performance loss or improvements from 1.8.x or 2.x versions but maybe that's just me. edit: found the thread with rafi's tweaks http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=74820 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ViperAFK Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 I went back to 2.x, because when I was using 3.x beta it seemed to be much slower in working with a large number of download/uploads at once.. Anyone notice if this one seems snappy? I have ~ 400 torrents and its just as fast as 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
