Utorrent new update weird tracker
-
Hi. Today utorrent warned me of a new update. I downloaded it and,since then,to all my torrents,even the already existing ones,a weird and unknow tracker (wss://tracker.btorrent.xyz)had been added,not allowing the gaytorrent tracker to work,and this "new" tracker is also impossible to delete. Anybody does have or have had the same issue? Does somebody have any idea of how to fix this?

It's not uncommon for the latest version of an app to cause problems when installed on older devices.
Sometimes newer versions of apps may not work with your device due to system incompatibilities.This is not a recommendation :
- If you are currently using updated client there is a well known bug aka [wss://tracker.btorrent.xyz]
invalid URL w/c is preventing tracker from connecting ...
Point on Trackers right click [simply delete and remove] ...
If you want to downgrade from earlier version,
[simply disable your anti-virus] and disable software updates from keeping your client updated ...
In uTorrent point on Options/Preferences/General
Uncheck - Updates & Privacy / Check - Notify me before installing updates ...

If i delete the tracker it immediately cames back on his own,an i'm not a computer geek,so don't know how to downgrade to an earlier version,and don't wanna uninstall the program and then install it again since i don't find attractive having to re-add 600+ torrents

I had a similar problem a while back: uTorrent installed a new version of itself (3.6, I think), filled with problems. I followed the process from john321 above and installed version 3.5.5. It's worked fine ever since. Be sure to follow that last step of unticking both boxes under "updates:"
to make sure the software doesn't "help" you again in the future. -
@toratora2 downgrade asap

I second this.... The latest uTorrent (3.6.0) has known compatibility issues with our system. For this reason, you should roll back to version 3.5.5 or earlier.

@john32123666 I'm trying my best man. So I installed version 3.6 by downloading version 3.5.5 from the link and unchecked the auto update and now I'm supposed to install the same file again from the link? Is that how to downgrade?

see the version on Help it will show your current version ... -
@john32123666 ok I downloaded utorrent-3-5-5-build-46348 but it installed 3.6 I downloaded utorrent-3-5-5-build-46348 again after I unchecked the update button and it didn't make any changes, still version 3.6

@john32123666 I agree, this is way past too much. one last time breakdown and then I'll leave it. I have a fresh install of windows 10 no uTorrent. I download utorrent-3-5-5-build-46348 from the older versions link but it installs version 3.6. I then uncheck the auto update checkbox and then I install utorrent-3-5-5-build-46348 again but it does not downgrade anything. Where am I going wrong or should I just give up?
-
@citydwelleer-0 as I've said once older version is succeded uncheck auto update from that older version to stop from updating 3.6 ...
