To BT site staff about utorrent 1.6.1 !

[silhoutte]

The staff might have their own reasons that they don't want to reveal? Or is it the only good version after utorrent 1.6.1 that they want all users use the same in order to ease check on cheaters?

[sugam]

that is a lie put out to get people to upgrade.

I was pretty damn sure about this.

As pointed out by rvt, the vulnerability is exploited by crafting a specific tracker URL. Practically every private torrent site will change the URL by adding a passkey to it, therefore destroying any attempt at a malicious URL.

The only place where these exploits can actually be practised would be on the public trackers, because if anyone was stupid enough to try this on a private tracker, their details would be circulated quicker than a Scotsman could down a bottle of whisky.

so why does some private trackers ban it ?

they dont have good coders that can actually test this issue ?


maybe we should post this thread in every private tracker forum !

i still hope sct and hdbits will change their minds again..
its quite stupid to read in the hdbits forum something like hey µ 1.6.1 is old, upgrade to 1.7.6!..
if they dont change it i will have to switch to another client i have no problems with as i always had funny time outs with 1.7.x versions.. and some other weird problems..

[grimms]

version 1.7.6 is finally starting to act stable finally. Still miss utorrent 1.6 though. Seem to can't let it go i guess..

[silhoutte]

I hate seeing that red bar when we click on files which is otherwise white in 1.6.1 lol

RevTT have also banned all version of utorrent except 176

why are you happy about it?
and that a site bans a well working versions of a client doesnt proof anything..
if a large amount of users wants to stick to µ 1.6.1 there is no point in saying hey we ban the client bc we can..
if you dont have vista and dont use https the rss-reader there is no point in getting the new version..
or have i missed a major improvement in all these many new versions?

so bitmetv has allowed 1.6.1 ? correct ?
