Plus one.
The problem with using old versions is that if a security vulnerability affecting earlier builds was discovered, you're a sitting duck. Those still using 1.6.1 can be potentially attacked with that oversized client ID DoS exploit that was patched somewhere in the 1.7.x branch, for example.utorrent 1.8.5 build 17414 FTW!!!!
Never upgraded that. Working smoothly for me for past 2 years
Also, you're missing all the actually relevant fixes and additions, obviously.
And I think J-Dye gets today's PotD award...

Firon wanted everyone to think that 1.6.0 and the 1.6.1 had security vulnerability so we all update to the newest version that was backed by the mpaa, wait and see they find everything wrong with all other versions so you go the newest version 3.Not playing that game :-)Plus one.

This particular attack was documented by TF:
http://torrentfreak.com/bittorrent-c...attack-080117/
About the MPAA thing, every time I update my uTorrent I unpack the executable and remove the IPs and URLs which are said to be "bad", mostly out of paranoia.
Oh, and what's up with programs needlessly using every time more screen space? Happened when I switched from Opera 9.x to 10 (menus), Windows XP to 7 (files in the "details" view, Task Manager entries), and now uTorrent 3 does the same (torrent list entries).

true , some trackers wont.
but i can see majority of them stil allowing v1.6.X, v1.8.5. & v2.X
yes v 1.8x is the best so far .... Utorrent its going in turmoil after acquisition of Utorrent by bittorrent and call-back is been injected in each build :\

You just made me remember that when I switched from 1.7.7 to the first stable 1.8 I was like "what the hell did they do to the interface?", too.

Can you turn off the new features you don't need? Make them disappear?
