I think THIS SIZE:
1.21 TB (1,331,722,772,463 bytes)

and/or this number of FILES:
Num files: 2099 file

...must exceed the design of uTorrent Classic.

I already have the files for that torrent downloaded, I just want to get the torrent loaded in my client so that I can seed it. When I attempt to open the file in uTorrent 2.2.1 it says that it's not a valid torrent file.

I've been using 2.2.1 since I guess last year (when I became a member of this site and after reading your guide about downgrading to 2.2.1), I have a question for you, though you may not know the answer but I'm curious if you do.

In uTorrent, if you go to OPTIONS/SETUP GUIDE, it lets you run a bandwidth test to allow uTorrent to set you upload speed according to your internet connection, then it has a network test to make sure your network is configured properly.  Every time I have run this test it has worked without issues, today for some reason when I click on "RUN TESTS", it freezes and won't respond and I have to close out uTorrent and reopen it back up.  Once back in the setting for the tests, if I uncheck the bandwidth test, the network tests works fine and gives me a thumbs up that all is well.  For some reason though, the bandwidth test is freezing all of a sudden and will not work.

Any ideas?  My torrents are working fine so I'm not sure what the issue is.

please uninstall QTM, and reinstall it, correctly pointing it to the new (classic) utorrent.exe program location on your hard drive, as per:

Have a look at this forum topic:  "Default uTorrent Settings --RECOMMENDATIONS--"

There are instructions within.,.. that deal with port forwarding.

Youtube Video

If you can find that youtube video again…??? please post the link here, I'd like to see that, and the advice there, was probably sound.

Take care,

One question, any idea how to fix the "disk overload" issue?  It kept popping up and running my HD at 100%.  I watched a youtube vid that suggested to go into preferences/advanced/disk cache and change "override automatic cache size and specify the size manually (MB)" from the default number (and I don't remember what that number was now) to 1700, that seems to have fixed my issue but was wondering if that was legit or not?

I'm going to work out, will check back later.

Thanks as always for your prompt replies :cheers:

Thank you! Very helpful to me!

Good to hear!!! Thank you for the kind words!!!

@Pawpcorn:

I get a LOT of help desk questions, almost every day, regarding "issues" (a polite term for bugs and problems) with Version 3.n.n uTorrent, so I decided to write this following guide. If you see any errors or omissions, please don't hesitate to PM me, or add comments, below… Enjoy!!!  :cool2:

=======How to Downgrade to uTorrent 2.2.1 build 25302=========
The latest version of uTorrent become your worst nightmare?

Thank You!  This is exactly what I needed!  uTorrent had become a nightmare to keep working properly.  The retro version works perfectly again.

Thank you for your kind words!!! I'm happy this all worked out for you!!!

And a big THANK YOU from me too, Pawpcorn.
Was so sick of waking up to find that the 'new better improved' version of uTorrent would eat up to 80% of my RAM overnight and everything else ran slow as a result.
You've saved the day! :love:

Thank you for the kind words!!! You "neglected" to mention the damned MALWARE that the current versions install… which is what got me here, in the first place...  :crazy2:
@Pawpcorn:

Back when I was getting plagued with all the damn internet shopping sites popping up out of the blue… it took me a LONG time to finally figure out that I hadn't gotten infected with some awful Trojan/virus... but it was actually uTorrent causing all the havoc...

THEN when I went searching for ways to defeat this... and saw that downgrading was the ONLY solution... I started searching for what was considered the MOST stable (last of the best) versions of uTorrent, which turned out to be 2.2.1 build 25302.

Point of the story is... when I was doing this research, I came upon one guy's comment that in all his experience of searching for various fixes for various software packages... he had NEVER before SEEN SO MANY PEOPLE perform "searches" for "Downgrade _________" as in the case of uTorrent...

and his point was... with THAT many people "in the same boat" of being totally disgusted with uTorrent's so-called "stable" release... that THAT FACT ALONE should send a message to the uTorrent people to do away with the insidious ADWARE in their product!!!

They NEVER DID, tho, and they always avoided or evaded the topic in their so-called "helpdesk"... and that, in itself says something about the company, itself.

Thanks, I was able to installed utorrent 221 but the problem is when I upload files using "quick torrent maker" after it gives popup "upload complete" it will automatically open the utorrent 344 instead of utorrent 221. thus, the upload always fail. what is the best way to get rid the utorrent 344?

I think you'll need to run the UNINSTALL program for QuickTorentMaker… then download the QTM install program again, and THIS time... in the box for where your uTorrent program resides... point to the new, CURRENT location for your 2.2.1 uTorrent .exe program.

Mine happens to be at:  "C:\Program Files\uTorrent\uTorrent.exe"

You can right-click on the uTorrent program in your taskbar... and select Properties... to see the actual location for uTorrent.exe on your computer.

Good luck, and sorry for being so tardy on replying to your post.

Now I always use Deluge or Transmission (also for Windows).
