  1. add small notification over taskbar icon when torrent is added

    bascially just for us to know the torrent was downloaded and added successfully- i have browser download notifications set to off and utorrent's stay minimized when adding torrent option selected - still would be nice to know the torrent downloaded successfully and added properly.

    • add start/stop all torrents to toolbar & web interface

      Quickly start/stop all torrents allows for users with slow connection speeds to change transfers without having to start/stop individual torrents

      • Group by Name

        Give us an option to group torrents by name... something like it:

        • Add one more attribute to "run program" function

          Name of the original torrent file added. Ex. %O

          When I download torrents to the fetch folder, I could easily just add a "code" of sorts to the front of the torrent filename before saving. The code would be obtainable by my program via being told the filename of the original torrent added to utorrent. it could be used to be aware of what to "look out" for when processing finished download. This would also allow my program to know if the download is a movie or other types of media automatically instead of using various programming methods to determine…

          • Show the % of a torrent's creation in Create New Torrent

            Let's say when adding a torrent that's very large (40GB or so), the bar at the bottom doesn't give a very good indication of how much has been created.

            So maybe showing a % of creation in the titlebar or to the side would be useful.

            • Command Line Option /STOP_ALL

              Option to start utorrent with all torrents stopped. Useful if you are having utorrent hang on start or if you made a poor choice in a network setting and you want to selectively restart.

              • Show selected "auto shutdown" option in title bar

                Once you have selected an auto shutdown option, there is no way of knowing what (if any) option was chosen other than returning to options-auto shutdown in menu to see what is selected.

                Adding selection to title bar would allow you to see what option is active with just a glance!

                • Multiple Labels on Torrent Dialog

                  WHen adding torrent in the dialog window before downloading there is a drop window showing what label you want to add it has e.g Music i suggest adding a small + button next to add label bar for adding multiple labels on torrent before downloading.

                  • Prevent the moving of important directories

                    Today I had it download a file directly to my desktop, forgetting that I had it set to automatically move completed torrents to another folder. I was surprised to find that my entire desktop had been moved into that folder. I was able to remedy this quickly, but others might have more trouble, and it could have been worse had it been something more integral.

                      • New status for scheduler paused/resuemed

                        I use growl for windows (I know this isn't supported) with the notifications sent by utorrents run program on status change. I also use scheduler and when the scheduler changes to "turn off" state, utorrent tells my program that all seeding torrents have finished.

                        This means I am unable to use this to actually see which torrents have finished seeding using this method and have to look at each torrents ratio to check if any have actually finished.

                        To solve this I suggest that two new states should be added "scheduler paused" for torrents affected by "seeding only" or "turn…

                          • Add support to ctrl+left/right arrow in the Add New Torrent Window

                            In older versions of uTorrent, you had only "Save As" in the Add New Torrent window.
                            You could quickly remove dots from a file name by pressing CTRL and left/right arrow to jump from one dot to another, in the file name.

                            In newer versions of uTorrent, you have now "Save in" and "Name". Jumping using CTRL and arrow keys is possible under Save In but not in the Name field.

                            I would like to see this possible in the Name field as well.

                            Thanks

                              Ability to stream multiple files inside an album as a playlist. so far you can only stream individual files, making album streaming tedious.

                              • Do not change toolbar controls when "toggle torrent view" is selected.

                                I prefer to use torrent view because it is simpler but I do not want to lose some of the functionality of the toolbar.

                                here's a list of buttons that disappear when in torrent view.
                                add torrent,
                                add torrent from URL,
                                create new torrent,
                                pause torrent,
                                move up queue,
                                move down queue

                                I've always wondered why those buttons are not available in torrent view.

                                    • Batch move files to specified directory

                                      At present, multi-select jobs and click "Advanced > Set download location" cause opening the select target folder dialog for every job.
                                      It's a common scene to move multiple files into a same directory.
                                      So will uTorrent please ask user to select directory only once and move files in bulk?

                                      • Add cancel button in the Virus warning popup

                                        I found this problem when I accidentally double-clicked a torrent. The popup warning told me that this torrent could content virus/harm my pc. Nice, but I don't want to open the torrent nor Read More..., so I searched for a "Cancel" button, which is nonexistent, so I trough using the "X" button on the corner with resulted in opening the torrent. So my suggestion are two:

                                        1) Add a cancel button on the popup warning.
                                        2) Change the behavior of the close (X) button to cancel instead open the torrent.

                                        If I made a mistake about this post please point…

                                        • Different colored logos for different versions of uTorrent

                                          For the logo of the beta, there should be a distinct identifiable version of the logo than the stable, and that goes for the alpha as well. That would make uTorrent more identifiable for users.
