I don't know if this really makes a difference, but I found that this problem went away after reducing the number of torrents in my Active list to 20. When I had 21 (or more) items in the Active list (both up and downloading), then I also got the Unable to save task list message.

I too have recently noted that mp4 files won't play. I have tried uninstalling mpcstar and then re-installing it with no difference. This situation has only started in the past few days (2 minimum, 7 maximum). If there is any additional information that I can provide in order to try to get this situation resolved, I will provide it as soon as I am able. My testing, so far, shows that this issue only lies with mp4 files. While I could convert them to AVI, which does work correctly, I really don't want to spend the time as I have quite a few mp4 files.

Thanks for the reply. Noting the usage of this machine, I think I'll just wait until the updater shows the update, that way I (now) know that it'll be stable.

Why do I see a post/announcement here stating that BitComet 1.31 is available, yet the update checker says I have the most up-to-date version at 1.30? I was without internet for about a month, which is why it took so long for me to notice that there was an announcement.

The exact error message does vary a bit due to the fact that the actual name of the torrent is included in the error message. Regretfully I don't recall the message well enough for me to post it at this time. If (when) I see it again I'll make a note of the exact wording and reply with it at that time. As to what happens, I'll click the OK button (only option), then the error message closes. Next another message stating that I don't have the rights to write to the temporary directory where the .torrent file is placed. Again, my only option is to click the OK button, which, again, makes the message close. At this point, I'm back at the page where I tried to start the torrent download and can try again. Usually I have to go through this process two or three times before it actually works as I'm used to, with BitComet opening the torrent file so that I then (usually) have a choice of which file(s) in the torrent I actually want to download. The browser is Mozilla Firefox version 3.6.13 (on my desktop) or 3.6.3 (on my laptop)

The weird thing about the first issue, and I'm sorry I didn't post this originally, is the fact that BitComet does show as the default application in the dialog where it asks me if I want to open or save the file. It's only after clicking OK for BitComet to open the torrent file that this error, occasionally, occurs.

I recently upgraded to BitComet 1.25 hoping that the issues I was having with 1.24 were resolved. It appears that they haven't been. Issue #1) BitComet not always recognized as the associated program for torrent downloads. Issue #2) BitComet stops responding. Occasionally I get the message from BitComet indicating that it has stopped responding, but more often it's noticed due to a severe lag on my system when working with other programs. When this happens, checking my Task Manager shows that BitComet has stopped responding, and I need to End Process (End Task is not sufficient). BitComet: 1.25 Internet Connection: 16Mb/s cable Modem: supplied by cable company (model/version unknown) Router: TP-Link wired/wireless TL-WR641G (ports forwarded with no problems) Windows: XP SP3 Firewall: Windows Anti-Virus: AVG Free 2011 While I had the 2nd issue with BitComet 1.24, it's happening a lot more often with 1.25. I was averaging 2-3 days before BitComet would stop responding. Now I'm lucky to get 15 minutes.
