HowTo / Notes

HOWTO

If/When you get this error:

It seems like uTorrent is already running, but not responding. Please close all uTorrent processes and try again.

you could simply kill all the utorrent processes with:

killall -9 uTorrent.exe

Then just open utorrent, not the installer.

You can also open µtorrent with '/NOINSTALL' parameter but then you can't change any settings (if I understood right). E.g.:

C:\Program Files\uTorrent\uTorrent.exe" /NOINSTALL

HOWTO associate in Linux .torrent files with uTorrent
Use a script like this:
#!/bin/sh
QUICKPARLOCATION="c:\\Program Files\\uTorrent\\uTorrent.exe"
if [ $# -eq 0 ]; then
  wine "$QUICKPARLOCATION"
else
  PARAM=`winepath -w "$*"`
  wine "$QUICKPARLOCATION" "$PARAM"
fi
Put it in one of the directories in your PATH, for example /usr/bin, make it executable, and finally set .torrent files to open with this script.

OKay, this is happening to me alot. Initially, wine 1.1.42 with utorrent 1.8.5 was working fine. But I encountered the same bug/error/glitch which I had encountered long before, some 3 formats ago! Same error, high cpu for no reason at all. It use to idle, like right now at 3 or 4 cpu but for reason it would spike to 100! It's not rechecking hash or anything it just shoots up! After google the bug, I found out that I should try updating. So I first update the utorrent which seems to fix the bug but after some use, SPIKE 100 CPU..which lags my system alot! Now I updated wine using ppa.. 1.2... the spike is gone. But 2 mins ago..it spiked again and I had to killall -9 uTorrent.exe and restart utorrent! What's the problem????

My experience with Utorrent 2.0 on Mint
by Mark Capehart Jr. on Sunday October 11th 2009, 17:43
I'm running Linux Mint 6 (based from Ubuntu 8.10 [Intrepid Ibex]). Running WINE 1.1.31 Utorrent 2.0 beta works perfect for me. Everything is fully functional. Skinning works perfect.

The only flaw that I see is when I mouseover the system tray icon, it flickers a bit, but that is cosmetic & does not take away from the functionality at all.

Using the stable 1.0.1 version of WINE I got the "This program is freeware. If you paid for it you have been scammed and you should get a refund." message every time I opened it... After upgrading my WINE version to the 1.1.31 version, I saw this message only once, as intended.
