Frequently Asked Questions

This means that there is not a complete copy of the torrent available. Usually this is because there are no seeders. See What does availability mean?. The only solution is to wait patiently, or try to find a different version of the torrent.

It takes up to a few minutes for the download and upload to reach 0 in paused mode, since µTorrent must send/receive all the queued pieces first.

µTorrent shows BitTorrent protocol overhead when displaying speeds; this is normal.

µTorrent shows an ETA/Remaining time when seeding based off the ratio set in "Seeding Priority," so you can know about how long it'll take to reach the specified ratio.

The up/down buttons only change the queue order for torrents that are downloading. They do not actually move the torrents up and down in the list.

Open the preferences and click on "Associate with .torrent files". This should generally resolve the issue. It may be necessary to open the Default Programs tool in Windows to modify .torrent associations.
