  1. Keep download history

    I propose µtorrent keep a simplified log of past download/upload data and a date breakdown.

    It's not uncommon to be in a situation where the end user doesn't have any sort of hard data cap, but would like to retain information about their download history.

    To facilitate this, µtorrent would need to keep a history of download/upload for each torrent (by name, or hash) used over a particular timeframe. Users should be able to view total data transfer for a given day from the log, and further view a breakdown per torrent.

    • Add change location for group of torrents. For example move grop from drive E to driver D.

      After reinstall windows or movig files to bigger hdd or simply in another director. I have to do too much operations. This could be simplified by using torrents group change location.

        • Fix auto column resizing (double click column handle) for pieces

          The pieces column under files tab of torrent resizes tiny, no doubt because it's a special case i.e. doesn't contain text to resize for. Would be good if you could add a handler to only resize it to something in particular automatically when double clicking the resize handle.

          • Add ability to stream from other devices

            It would be great to stream from uTorrent from other devices on the LAN, and specifically from a Mac/Linux host OS when running torrent in a Windows Guest OS in Parallels/VMWare/VirtualBox.

            A first step would be to allow us to set the prefix it uses rather than localhost. That way we can set it to something the other devices can use.

            A 2nd step would be a simple web page so we can open a browser from the other device and select the stream from there.

            • Improve rating system

              Improve rating system with (for example) thumb up / thumb down for each comment
              and a spam button for the community, to delete the many, many useless/rude comments.

              • alternate Download directory

                I think the user should be able to define an alternate download directory. Where the files download TEMPORARILY if the primary directory becomes full or goes offline.

                NAS/Personal Cloud storage is becoming more and more important, but its not always available...

                the files should be automatically transferred to the primary directory if/when it becomes available.

                It would also be cool if possible; for this folder to download the rest of in-progress downloads for syncing once the primary directory becomes available

                • List of trackers in the SideBar

                  The way it is for labels and RSS. Would be easier to have the current list of trackers to our torrents and the ability to filter torrents by tracker just selecting the tracker, the way it is in ruTorrent.

                  • Use colors for priorities

                    In the Files tab:
                    Black text for Normal
                    Gray for Skip
                    Two other colors (user configurable?) for High and Low

                    Why - In a large torrent containing many albums, this would make it much easier to see which files have been marked as what priority.

                      • Option to disable the opening of uTorrent in a new RDP Session

                        Whenever a new session of Windows is opened for the same user, uTorrent is set to autostart, but it already is running within the other session. So if it could check for running session on same user account, and not open if found.

                          • Add Root element and * key functionality to Add New Torrent dialog

                            Just like the folders list in Windows Explorer, the Add New Torrent dialog needs a Root element (which could be the name of the torrent itself), *under* which the torrent's files/folders will be displayed. This will enable users to easily expand the entire torrent's contents in one go by pressing the * key, just like it works in Windows Explorer.

                            The Root element is required since if only the * key functionality is implemented, it will still require users to go to every top-level folder one by one to expand it, whereas with a Root element, *all* folders in the…

                                    • Scan QR codes for magnet links

                                      Use a QR generator from a destop computer (maybe one you can host) to create a code scannable from the app, maybe even from Goggles by association of the magnet:// protocol.

                                      • make the main toolbar fully customisable

                                        Let us individually add or remove any of the toolbar buttons (and search box), and maybe even completely hide the whole bar.

                                        • Rebuild file

                                          Suppose you have a local unfinished file on the harddrive, 43% finished; and you have that same file on another computer downloading (say 65% finished); instead of finishing the second file over wireless, just combine both files locally (use the same torrent client to upload one file, and download it to another file).
                                          Could mess up ratio's though.

                                          Or suppose you have 2 copies of a file, kept on 2 separate storage devices. Both copies get corrupted, though at different places, causing the program running the file, to crash.
                                          To have a torrent rebuild file option it would be possible…
