utorrent for X86 2.2.01
Tested on Ultra and Pro :P Utorrent for x86 2.2.01 Utorrent for x86 2.0.00 Utorrent for x86 1.8.0 Super-Poussin changes: Now you can access logs in /c/addons-config/utorrent/ :) Now...
Ah! I was just exchanging emails with S-P on this yesterday...
When you say "username & pwd was reset to admin & blank" you mean in the GUI? If so - that's normal, uTorrent never shows the password.
The issue you're hitting is that S-P has configured the server to run as nobody:nogroup - which is the most secure option. But it means that for the server to create and modify files/directories, then the everyone permissions must be set to allow write access to the required location.
To test, you could SSH in and perform a "chmod 777" on the parent folder of where you want your utorrent folders to be, and also on any existing subdirectories you wish to use.
To fix this going forward, I believe S-P is looking at the option of creating a specific user for uTorrent to run as, that way you could add that user to a relevant group and give write access that way. Or even specific access to a share.

Then I tried to add a torrent, and...nothing. Stopped and restarted and noted that the username & pwd was reset to admin & blank.
None of the new file location directories were created.
