I mean it just gets worse and worse, like a flesh eating virus or something. j/c why does vuze eat up so much ram when in use. Saving myself some memory that before was getting ate up, You learn something new everyday. Hope someone can provide a constructive response.Hey "Azureus is Better" guy, thanx for the info on the classic mode in vuze. I have been downloading torrents practically none stop using the port app utorrent.Īgain, I want to stress these are intermittent occurrences but a pain in the royal a$$. I had the problems with both PA 1.8.4 and 1.8.5. The Preferences/Directories continue to point to the correct folders. just go a new problem that returns 2 torrents entries in the completed display even though the completed file and torrent have been removed using the software option. changes to priorities to some torrents would return to the previous priority when re-opening the program a couple of times, newly added torrents would disappear from the screen when the program was re-opened forcing me to re-add them again. On rare occasions when I am forced to do a force re-check, it calculates a few files as incomplete while 99% on the files are determined to be 100% complete. changes the location of the completed folder to the new download folder, forcing me to change the location back and do a forced recheck. A couple times it splits the completed folder between the new download and the completed folder. restarts the torrent even when it has completed and left for seeding. I never had a problem until I installed the portable version when it was introduced.Īs I did with the non-portable version, I redirect the new downloads, and completed downloads to separate folders and the torrents to uTorrentPortable\Data\torrents but this may be creating occasional weird intermittent results. I have used utorrent for over 2 years and was on 1.8.4. I started a thread over a week ago without 1 reply so I thought I would added here to have better luck. Thanks to the popularity of PA.com, I've noticed that other devs are finally starting to get a clue that coding apps the "Microsoft way" is not the right way and is in fact completely unnecessary, and as such, more and more devs are making their apps, freeware and otherwise, portable right out the box, so to speak. I don't know what I would do without portable software, as I hate installing stuff and having to reconfigure things to my liking all the time. In fact, I'm thrilled their work is finally getting widespread acknowledgment. That doesn't make the PA.com team 100% correct every time, though their track record is pretty good.ĭon't get me wrong, I'm not attacking John Haller, his team or their work at all. Windows makes these entries itself, usually buried deep, but it's there.Īnd yes, I know PA.com is THE authority in portable apps. Just take a walk through the registry or even the event viewer if anything crashed and I guarantee you will find plenty of evidence of portable apps being run. The fact is on any Windows system, ANY software will leave something behind no matter how thorough the developer was in coding the cleanup routines. I've been using the PA.com apps for several years now both as installed apps on my own machines and from flash drive on others, and before that I was making my own portable apps using AutoIt to write my custom launchers, so I'm no stranger to the concept. I can't say the same for the apps around here, though I'm not complaining, don't get me wrong. I've been using uTorrent for many years now and never had a single problem with it. When using uTorrent the way it was meant to be by the developer, you don't have to worry about any add-ons or other files being deleted like you do with this PA version as this very thread and the other utorrent threads show. Which makes uTorrent never truly portable, with or without a PA launcher. Not really a big deal since you would have to manually open a port not only in whatever firewall is on the system, but any router it's behind as well. Yes, you have to manually change paths in the settings if you use it as a portable app. The only thing uTorrent leaves behind is it's file associations and an open port in windows firewall, both of which can be disabled in the settings.Īfter you run it the first time and it generates it's %APPDATA% stuff, you simply move it all to the uTorrent folder and it's done forever.
