NEWS FLASH - Over 4,000 Banned in 10 days Beware!!


Due to a remotely exploitable crash bug found in previous versions of µtorrent (including early 1.8 alpha), we're asking all members using this client to update to version 1.7.6.

Get 1.7.6 stable here
The alpha 1.8 build 7928 can be found here

Previous versions will no longer work with the tracker. This goes into effect immediately.

Thank you for understanding.

The best part over 1.6.1 with 1.7.x is the fact you can edit the individual upload and download limits for each torrent with right click, so you can select a whole lot of them and put them to a lower limit when you want a certain torrent to seed heavier.

They banned all those people beacause they had open signups a few days ago. Those were dupe or foney accounts. It has nothing to do with these (much talked about) versions of utorrent.

lol im not happy and i really dont care,but many major sites have banned 161 and that is telling me somthing

Yep, it proves my favourite one liner, people are stupid.

When you have a large group of people, they cease to function as individuals capable of independant thought. Accepting that 1.6.1 is bad because some other sheeple said so just makes you another sheep.
All those sites that banned it should put up or stop bleating.

1.76 is not as good as the older versions, it takes really long to connect to the peers and it seems that there is a max num of peers you can connect to - that I think is hard coded internally. The options in utorrent dont seems to rectify that

I was away for a few days and missed the whole exploit brouhaha...just checked my 1.6.1 and the revtt torrents are seeding fine. Did they unban it or do they still expect users to upgrade?

[FatBob]

great , now what.cd and waffles.fm has unbanned ut 1.6.1

[briand5379]

We've seen this before versions get banned and as time goes by staff test them and so on and different versions become allowed again.

FatBob: you might want to add this to the original post for those sites who wont unban unless uT says it's ok.

50% of people reading the changelog will be getting a copy of the old one. The new one is there though, and has removed mention of 1.6.x
