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.

    • Apple MacBook Neo is a blessing for Windows users, here's why

      By +samw61 · Posted

      Looks a very subjective aren't they!? I like its simple design. I love the way Apple designs their products with function over form, minimalization, and simplicity over cluttered complex designs. Many, not all, of their products follow this trend, and the device becomes a tool rather than dominating the space. I do not however like their OS. I have never bought a Apple product, and while I'd consider the Neo for my wife, I am hoping there are better alternatives out there when her failing MacBook Pro 2017 finally stops. Fischer-Price is famously plastic, garish, and poorly made. Basically you're describing the Window Laptops the Neo competes against! This is how product design should be, and what Apple have often followed in recent years: https://tenprinciples.design/
    • AV2, successor to popular YouTube, Netflix, Amazon codec AV1, has a hard battle ahead

      By Skyfrog · Posted

      Isn't that true for every codec? I remember having to buy a PCI MPEG-2 decoder card just so I could play DVDs on my computer back in the late 90s. AV1 support is still fairly new.

      I'm no Apple fan, and have never bought an Apple product for myself. But I'd argue that where you think Apple is behind regarding an OLED display, that the vast majority of people out there wouldn't even know or care for an OLED. Apple have struck the balance well to create a price point that works, and I hope that PC manufactures, and Microsoft take notice. I'd argue that Asus will struggle to compete with the Neo BECAUSE they put in a more expensive OLED that many people won't actually notice with its deeper blacks. Most people wouldn't care either that their screen is stuck at 60Hz! When I bought a 4k monitor (future proof and for the space), my laptop could only push that out at 30Hz, and it worked fine for my needs for 1.5 years! Heck, the average human eye can't see more than 90Hz in many situations!! So while they are trying to differentiate themselves, and it may well gain them a few customers, for the most part, I think they're missing the point of what the Neo is for.
    • Amazon Greenlights A New "Stargate" Series

      By ryansurfer98 · Posted

      I disagree. Boomer execs only want one thing; money money money. The original fans of the series want a specific reboot that focuses on the vibe and feel of the original series. Boomers don't want that because then they can't have a 8 to 9 figure return. This was canceled because of greed. 
    • Meta rolls out Meta Business Agent globally on WhatsApp, Instagram, and Messenger

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Meta rolls out Meta Business Agent globally on WhatsApp, Instagram, and Messenger by David Uzondu Image via Meta Meta is expanding Meta Business Agent, a feature that the social media giant promises will help businesses deliver "personalized experiences for customers using AI," launching the tech globally. Before this global release, Meta Business Agent used to be a free test called "Business AI" during a testing phase that started in October 2024. Meta picked India, Mexico, and Brazil to test the software, gathering data from over one million active shops that used the chat tools. The agent works on WhatsApp, Instagram, and Messenger, helping shops answer customer questions, check incoming leads, book appointments, and recommend products from a catalog. Meta said that the business agent can match your brand's unique tone when speaking to customers, and that it plans to improve the feature to handle "daily operations" like market research, product insights, calendars, and rival research. Soon, users will find these AI-supported shops easily by typing names in the WhatsApp search bar. Image via Meta Apart from the Business Agent, Meta is also introducing the Meta Business Agent Platform, a new agentic platform that provides the infrastructure needed to build, customize, and run virtual helpers at scale. With the Platform, companies link their bots to services like Shopify, Zendesk, and Shopee using firm-level controls, guardrails, and metrics to define strict rules. This setup lets coders build custom behaviors, keeping customers happy with direct answers. Speaking of agents, you might have heard that hackers recently broke into Instagram accounts by simply asking the Meta AI support assistant on the mobile app to hand over control. You can check out our coverage on that here.
