Code execution is not possible, which means there is little reason for users to panic.

Well looks like Hdbits is banning all versions below 1.76 as well with the exception of uTorrent 1.8b.

after u read all in first page then u will see why,well no one force u to change but if u are utorrent user than on waffles,what and few others u cant download or upload no more with 161 or any 17x except 176..

lol its not that hard to change from 161 to 176

[hangemhigh]

this is the last line in the waffles announcement...
"After February 1st, non-updated clients will be banned, EXCEPT for the 1.6 series."

I won't even ask why you cut that out... but my beloved 161 stays put..thak you.

i'm sticking with 1.6.1 until my daily trackers no longer allow its use, though i see no reason why this excellent version should be banned (the best in my opinion).
oh, and you are not getting banned for using these clients, u just won't be able to connect or use the announce (meaning: no downloading)

[shijo]

why not utorrent developers just fix the security vulnerability in 1.6.1
they should issue an update patch for 1.6.1 like that of pc games patches

This is a good time for users to check out the competing Azureus client:

It's an excellent client, with the basic layout similar to utorrenet but a lot more power underneath. It's also a lot larger and memory consuming, but on most computers (i.e. not seedboxes) this really shouldn't be a problem.

Make sure you turn off the auto update if you install this version or it will constantly bug you about upgrading to the next release.
