µTorrent 1.x - old, unsupported version. Not recommended.
Old test results
The test results you have selected are very old and may not represent the current state of Wine.
Selected Test Results (selected in 'Test Results' table below)
What works
All the basic functionality, all fundamental aspects (GUI, networking, file system, mouse, etc.) uPnP. Torrent downloads.
WebUI
What does not
Severe update flicker (nb: this issue was exacerbated by the test setup, see comments)
Connectivity issues (yellow exclamation indicator in µTorrent) after running for some time (hours?). All ok at startup. Possibly router issues, although no problems seen previously with µTorrent running on Microsoft Windows 2000. Router still shows correct port-forwarding set.
µTorrent GUI became unresponsive on one occasion, although WebUI interface remained operational.
What was not tested
Most non-default options, some options enabled by default were turned off (in particular System Tray options - Not Applicable - See comments)
Additional Comments
This install is a stand-alone .exe not the installer version. This test was conducted with tightvnc/Xvnc for the X server on a headless Via EPIA system. Remote connection via the tightvnc client. WebUI access tested with FireFox 1.5.0.6. Client and server both running FreeBSD-6.1.
Refresh flicker no doubt exacerbated by running on EPIA and remote access over vnc. EPIA: CPU: VIA C3 Samuel 2 (533.36-MHz 686-class CPU) - typical cpu load with torrent downloads @ 40kiB/s approx 20%
Summary: Wine, µTorrent, FreeBSD, vnc - all rock! Excellent work all.
It seems that with the new version of Wine Web UI is supported and the RSS features where tested. This is great news as that elevates utorrent to Platinum status on AppDB. Of course more test results are always welcome as it got platinum on 64 bit ubuntu only so far. See Aaron Poley's 64bit 7.10 submission at:
blue under done percentage
by kenny on Thursday August 27th 2009, 1:12
I don't know if know if anyone else noticed this but the blue under the done percentage moves also when you scroll through horizontally instead of just staying under the done percentage. Is there anyway to fix this?
Freeware note.
by ezzetabi on Tuesday July 7th 2009, 13:50
If not executed as root utorrent always says: "This program is a freeware. If you paid for it, you have been scammed, and you should get a refund." on start-up. Is there a was to avoid this annoying message?

torrents outside wine.
by Michael J. Ryan on Thursday June 26th 2008, 18:53
I generally create a dropbox directory that I set utorrent to watch...
Options..Preferences -> Other
Check "Automatically load .torrents in directory"
mine is set to H:\Download\torrent_in (~/Download/torrent_in)
This can be set outside for ftp drops as well. For some reason about 1 in 10 or so times it seems a .torrent file doesn't register in bittorrent. It may be the timing of bittorrent vs. wine getting notified from the filesystem.
An undocumented improvement
by Matias on Thursday June 12th 2008, 0:57
Hopefully i'm not helping to fill the DB with trash, but I noticed an improvement on utorrent since the 1.0-rc1 release which nobody seems to have mentioned yet. There used to be a black background after every list (like the torrents list, the files list, etc). The awful black background is now gone.
Yet I also noticed a minor difference when running uTorrent in wine and windows: the torrents list seems to alternate between a gray and a white background on each row. I think this is actually cool and I like it better this way, it's just that when on Windows, the list background is plain white.
there are other differences regarding file listing such as an arrow next to the ordering column title and the background of the ordering column set to gray when you click on the title. My guss is that all this differences are related to some "listing component" reimplemented on wine or something similar.
Another old bug I haven't seen mentioned anywhere is the "close to tray" feature not working properly on versions prior to 1.0-rc1. I'm not sure this has been fixed at all since I haven't tried myself
Peer Error 10022
by Ben V on Saturday June 7th 2008, 22:45
I'm running utorrent through Wine 1.0-RC2 on a 100mbit debian server. I've noticed that whenever a seeder downloads at >1MB/sec they are disconnected after 5-10 seconds. The error log in utorrent shows 'Peer Error 10022' when the seeder is dropped. Has anyone else experienced this?
Port fowarding
by Henry Lajoie on Wednesday May 14th 2008, 22:03
I have my ports forwarded properly (it works in windows) but I do not get any incoming connections, and the connection tester reports that the port is not open. There is no output on the terminal when I use the port test.
Problem report: "invalid torrent"
by Dan Kegel on Monday August 6th 2007, 10:47
filesharingtalk.com/vb3/f-bittorrent-43/t-utorrent-rss-feed-problem-linux-seedbox-215552 says
"I'm entering this type of string:
www.bitmetv.org/rss.php?feed=...XXXX;pass=XXXX the same string works well on my windows system but on my seedbox, i can get the rss content, but when i click on the torrent to add from it, i always get invalid torrent file error.
...
There was disscusion about that in the bitmetv forums. Just search for "rss feed" in the search tab. tread name is "BitMeTV RSS Feed with utorrent" and read last pages.
It seems that there is an RSS issue while running utorrent under wine."
