uTorrent Feature: Prioritize by File Order

hp — Fri, 28 Jan 2011 21:56:14 +0000

A feature that probably has been around that I just discovered on uTorrent: Prioritize by File Order. Apparently if the files in a torrent have sequential names like episode numbers for seasons of tv shows, that feature will automatically set the priorities for the files with emphasis on the first couple of episodes so that they get finished first. I used to mess with the priorities manually for that, but this feature makes it so much easier. To get to it, click on the torrent that’s being downloaded and go to the files tab. Select all the files, right click and hit Prioritize by File Order.

VMWare USB Controller Does Not Load

I had a problem where the USB Controller for VMWare did not load. It turns out the USB Root Hub had the wrong drivers. The fix is to go into Device Manager and go through each of the USB Root Hubs and update the drivers for all of them to a driver provided by Windows. Detailed instructions in the link below.

For some reason, even after forwarding these, Direct IP Connection still doesn’t work.

Culprit: Port 2302 (TCP/UDP)

Forward that then it will work.
