Can't delete on Utorrent 2.2.1

[newatthis]

Hi all,

I have 19 files seeding at the moment and 1 showing a red "X" next to it showing ".Error invalid download state"..But I have finished downloading it and it is now showing in the completed seeding section

Every time I click "delete and remove data", it is deleted, but Utorrent freezes.

So I restart the computer and lo and behold, the file is back on utorrent with the red "X" next to it.

Can anyone help me with this problem?

Thanks

uninstall utorrent and install it new.

uTorrent is now up to ver 3.4.2+ so I'd get that updated first.

Dump utorrent and use qbittorrent.

Hi Chicog,

I ask this in a spirit of enquiry as I'm a Utorrent user - what would be the reasons for your advice?

Even tho qBittorent looks a bit retro in appearance to uTorrent these days, I find I get faster download speeds with qBittorent.

Because utorrent are ar$eholes.

According to this ( http://blog.utorrent.com/2015/03/28/important-update-about-epic-scale-partner-offer/ ) Epic Scale was removed a while back due to negative feedback. I never noticed it myself, but always deselected all the bloat during install and removed all the ads with settings.

just remove the 'torrent' and not 'torrent and data' or if no joy just stop torrent

When I tested uT 2.2.1. , it had problems too , so I went back to old and trusted 1.8.5 for about 3 more years !

Before I did a re-install , I tested the then new 3.4.2 , and with some modifications , it is a good one. Much better connection with udp trackers. You lose the black background for the speed graph though. After the OS re-install , I downloaded the newest version of 3.4.2 , but it was not as good, so went back to build 37125.

'newest version of 3.4.2 ,"

I've had version 3.4.3 for awhile. Haven't experienced any problems. Usually downloads quite quickly.

My private download sites have banned the 3+ series of utorrent for their own reasons. I have been with them for years and I don't want to risk my membership by upgrading.

OK , I'll bite. Why would they ban the 3+ series?

And another question : are private download sites better than the "open to all" sites ? What's the difference?

its something to do with tracking ratio's. they like older versions. i use 2 sometimes as well as open to all sites

I actually thought uninstall, removing the file(s) that make troubles, install new.

But if it worked this way, it is also good

I decided to upgrade from uT 3.4.2. There are now advertising panels and a separate process to run the ads; my firewall asked if it should allow and I denied it access. Bittorrent same. I did a little research and found out how to get rid of the panels.

Then something went weird with the color of selected entries. Seems it's a legacy bug and will probably remain that way.

Back to 3.4.2. My only problem with it has been that when there is too much activity it sort of trips over its own shoelaces and has to be restarted.

I'm also giving qbittorrent a try.

I have been using 3.4.5 on windows 10. Very reliable and stable.
