Yes, vista ultimate.

Quote - (BlackEagle1984 @ Feb 15 2007, 17:34)

Not sure if I am using an older version or not, but does this build fix the problem of windows vista not being able to set the program as default program for torrent files. I have to drag and drop each one into utorrent under vista and every time i start vista up utorrent asks if i want to make it my utorrent my default torrent program.

I remember having that problem a while ago. Are you on Vista RTM?

Close uTorrent if it's open and start the registry editor as admin.

Goto HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT and create a new key called .torrent

In the right pane right click on (Default) and select modify and type uTorrent

Again in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT create a new key called uTorrent. Right click that key and create 2 more keys called DefaultIcon and Shell. Right click the Shell key and create a new key called open and another key in the open key called command.

In the DefaultIcon key modify the (default) to point to the path of uTorrent. C:\X\uTorrent.exe for example.

In the command key modify the (default) to point to the path of uTorrent. C:\X\uTorrent.exe "%1" for example.

Close the registry editor.

Can anyone actually provide any proof regarding all this dodgy behaviour from uTorrent? If not then be quite, because as morca007 said they are unfounded.

They've made it up basically (The whole thing stems from the main developer getting a jobl, the company he worked for used to be anti-p2p, the whole conspiracy theory started from that)

If a company complying with the law makes them "evil" and "bad", then Google, MS, Apple, Sun, etc. are "evil" and "bad".

Talking about the unlearned and uninformed.

The MPAA and RIAA haven't bought uTorrent, what the **** are you talking about?

Did I say MPAA & RIAA bought out uTorrent??? Re-read my paragraph once more my friend, I said "Bram Cohen bought it out"!

You my friend need a pair of glasses.

Yes, you did:

What I hate is people who are "selective" readers. Too bad our education system is so f***ed up that you can't read a sentence!

I said......

Bram Cohen, maker of bloated BitTorrent, huge supporter of movie studios as well as MPAA & RIAA who bought out uTorrent

I stated that who? (Bram Cohen), what? (maker of bloated BitTorrent), supports what? (huge supporter of movie studios as well as MPAA & RIAA), I'm still talking about the same dude as I went along, Bram Cohen, get your glasses on as we continue....(who bought out uTorrent) end of sentence.

Get it now? Did I make this easier than a Cave Man from Geico Insurance?

Maybe you should be less selective with your punctuation then, since you let your sentence run on like that

Ha,ha, tin foil hat! I think a lot of you forget the eDonkey story and how the eDonkey client was REMOTELY CLOSED by the owner after releasing a few builds with a backdoor inside. So having a tin foil hat is not good looking but sometimes it works, personally i stick with the old version.

Zone Alarm gave me warnings about uTorrent requesting to send an email and personal information. Maybe its true.

Most likely one of your peers using the POP/SMTP ports to get around blockages on their side for torrents.

      Nobody is buying a PS5 only for playing Until Dawn 2. Their loss.

      If you actually used it instead of responding like a petulant child you might be surprised. I switched from Google some time ago and have been very satisfied.
    • [NEWS] Over 105000 games are available to play on Linux.

      By FateTrap · Posted

      I am one of the first people to use the DXVK technology. In the channel below you can see some videos that I have made using this technology, including Assassin's Creed Odyssey. https://www.youtube.com/@nahum7995/videos Assassin's Creed Odyssey experienced several bugs and technical issues during its first months after release. It launched with its own fair share of funny but frustrating glitches. I ran it on DXVK 9 days after its release and I played it for many hours but didn't see a single significant bug on Linux. Assassin's Creed Odyssey is widely celebrated for pushing the franchise in bold new directions and specifically for nailing several elements better than any other title in the AC series: Player Choice & Branching Narrative, The Mercenary & Cultist System, Mythological Integration, Overpowered Combat Abilities, Open World Exploration But what I'm trying to point out is that this game wasn't quite playable on most windows systems, until a few months after its release when most of the bugs were fixed. However, on Linux it ran completely flawless from day one, although DXVK had seen little development and refinement at the time. What do you think the situation will be in 2026 now that most bugs and glitches of DXVK have been completely eliminated? This is information from Google about these situations that I am quoting. In many cases, using DXVK (a translation layer that converts DirectX 9, 10, or 11 into Vulkan) can result in more stable frame times and higher performance than native Windows rendering. This happens primarily by bypassing driver overhead and multithreading draw calls that were previously restricted to a single CPU core. Older APIs (like DirectX 9 and 11) are largely single-threaded on the CPU side. DXVK translates these calls to Vulkan, which is highly multi-threaded. This reduces CPU-bound stuttering on weaker processors. In certain cases, GPU manufacturers (especially AMD) have significantly better and more modern Vulkan drivers than they do for legacy DirectX. Vulkan gives developers—and in this case, the translation layer—closer control over how resources are held in VRAM. This can prevent micro-stutters and sudden frame drops during chaotic gameplay. Yes, certain games, particularly older DirectX 9 to 11 titles, can run with fewer crashes on DXVK than on native Windows. By intercepting DirectX draw calls and translating them into the modern, highly efficient Vulkan API, DXVK bypasses the limitations and poor driver support that cause instability in aging game engines. PlayStation 1, PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3 can be easily and perfectly emulated on Linux. In fact, modern Linux emulators offer high-performance upscaling, widescreen patches, and automatic controller mapping out of the box.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 PlayStation 1/2/3 games look drastically better on Linux thanks to resolution upscaling. Furthermore, it is also a fact that you cannot play many fun games on Windows either, isn't it? - The Nintendo Switch has an extensive library of exclusive games. - PlayStation has an extensive library of exclusive games - Android has "mobile-exclusive" games, meaning they are exclusive to mobile devices (iOS and Android) and aren't available on PC or consoles. And finally, it is also the case that in the next five years there will be games that millions of people will say you absolutely must play and that they want to play this specific game that released a few days ago. However, the other side of this story is that currently, absolutely no one cares that they cannot play these upcoming games right now.
