Utorrent 1.7 and above security in question! Check your trackers!

[Melvinmeow]

I personally allowed 1.7.1 2 days ago...
I banned it yesterday from my site until I had time to investigate exactly what it was doing myself.

I logged and personally checked... 14 HRS worth of logs while using the client.
I didnt see any ips from the mpaa/riaa in the reported outgoing connection logs.
In my own personal opinion utorrent 1.7.1 is fine and is not reporting any information to any 3rd parties.

If you really want to 100% be sure of what the client is sending... your better off not taking any 1 persons judgement... check your own logs to see what its doing.

P.S. 1.6+ versions still work on my site. Personally I like 1.6 versions better than 1.7.1 anyways.

uTorrent sending your IP to the MPAA/RIAA is time delayed for a few weeks. It will look fine to everyone now, millions will download it, and then its all over.

we are still testing utorrent 1.7.1 and over the weekend we will ok it on wb or keep it on the ban list. Right now only thing holding it back is the fact that 1.7 does not send data right and update data right on wb. As far as 1.71 goes i am also hearing that this client is very buggy. So when testing is done we let you all know.

Utorrent 1.7 will stay banned and we are also going to start banning all beta clients for all clients.

1.7 blows anyways!

What do you expect when it is taken over by a company that has the worst client in the biz...bittorrent inc

They are going to do nothing but fuck up utorrent and ruin its name weather they are sending your IP address and information or not.

Why on earth would they pay good money for what is arguably the best bittorrent client around, only to trash it?
That just wouldn't make sense to anyone.

Had to switch to Azureus due to the ban of utorrent

So, which trackers still ban 1.7.1 build 3360 client?
