utorrent always have a black background when on the downloads section. Is this a bug, or am I missing something? This happens on both a Intel Mobile 4 series chipset, and a Nvidia Geforce 8400GS (With proprietary drivers)
This is a know issue. A workaround is to stick to utorrent 2.2.1. See also: http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27579
Why not to use "KTorrent" or "Transmission" instead? Or you want to seed previously downloaded torrents saved in uTorrent? :)
