I don't think there's a problem with it, most of the sites will aprove it in the next few days

Hmmm, someone posted a redirect in the News Section. Good stuff, too.

Check here for more: Utorrent 1.7 and above security in question! Check your trackers!

And merged topics. Oh.

[Michellin]

Most torrent sites are banning the new update by uTorrent. Too bad they were taken over by Bittorent... Now have to switch to Azureus for the meantime

[vikram_mavi]

Iam usin it without any prob!!

1.7.2 came out a few days ago. The security hole is patched and most trackers should start unbanning it now.

I noticed PG2 has updated their blocklists to say "Bittorrent Inc" instead of that Swift w/e...

Anyways...It blocks it every so often on port 6881. I have automatic updates disabled, too.

i'm migrating to azureus 2.5 ... any one else?

I hate when people muddy the waters by pretending there's two sides to a story when there's not.

1) First of all, note that of the most respected and skilled torrent admins and coders: djGrrr, Retro, Zlo, even Oink/TMT, none of them spout this bullshit about uTorrent being spyware.

2) Firon, a developer for uTorrent, is also an admin on HDBits, where uTorrent is obviously a recommended client. I eagerly await ACiD's "proof" that HDBits is simply a front for the MPAA.

3) The fact that these people are using PG2 to prove their point ought to be self-discrediting. Using PG2 at all is generally a sure sign of incompetence.

4) Examine their conspiracy theory for a second: According to them, instead of the MPAA going after the hundreds of thousands of people openly publishing their IPs by using public trackers, the MPAA decided it would be simpler and more cost-effective to redesign a client for the purpose of ... mining IPs.

As sk0t found out, when the MPAA is after your site, you'll know about it.

Fair point.
