What trackers?
utorrent v1.6 is fine ..so far..
Posted by: thesixthsensor
so whats the problem?
Posted by: pickedlast
should be interesting to see what direction the company takes. but utorrent 1.6 is plenty good even w/o future upgrades. i'm keeping an eye on ktorrent myself.
Posted by: jackherrer1
Actually, trackers dont have a problem with version 1.6 abd above.
Posted by: theincredible
i think the bitcomet is very fast and better than utorrent

fine 4 me no problem
Posted by: Appzalien
Since utorrent doesn't have an auto update function, you should'nt have to worry about it. If it comes out with some new shady functions then just stick to the older ones and don't upgrade. If a client were to be released with spyware or something to help the authorities track you down, it would be all over the net in a flash. That kind of tactic would only be good for a few days and would never work again.

What trackers have banned/discarded utorrent 1.6? :unsure:
Posted by: jelll
yeah i haven't had a problem with utorrent with any of my trackers either
Posted by: x24
fine 4 me no problem
Posted by: phrenzy
Azureus seems to be the one Banned at alot of trackers because it's so easy to cheat w/... I have not seen a tracker that has problems w/ Utorrent at all..
Posted by: gustafo
uTorren is still the best! :thumbsup:
Posted by: thestarofdeath
It really doesnt matter to be, out with the old in the with the new. Utorrent will probley die, but by the time that happens there will already be a better alternative.
Posted by: scrambler
i hope it doesnt get banned. i've gotten pretty used to utorrent now. never had probs with azureus which was my number one client before so if it does get banned, i'll go back to azureus.
Posted by: loveblind
I'm still using it. It's pretty good
Posted by: kavalchuk17
as long as you stick to 1.6, it's the same so theres no problem.
Posted by: thebazzla
i used bitcomet for a while swapped to utorrent doesnt seem to slow your computer up quite as much as the others
Posted by: bexarif
ive not had any problems with utorrent - so much better than the v poor clients i previously used...
Posted by: EFS
No !!! i love utorrent it`s vry easy and good to use it and save
Posted by: bombi
love it to .. its the best program for downloading torrents.
Posted by: faresalandlos
yes u torrent is the best tillnow
Posted by: imapotato
While it doesn't have every feature under the sun like, say, Azureus it offers a great balance between feature richness and stability while remaining lightweight. I haven't had any trouble at any tracker with it.

utorrent is still the best

utorrnet is very good but also Azureus, but utorrnet is better:]

azureus is bad for giving error (firewall and freeze the pc) its reaaly bs. but utorrent god of torrent client :D. i dont worry about utorrent
Posted by: Eny-
Using uTorrent. No problems :)

i've not had a problem with utorrent or seen it banned anywhere.

Posted by: JigSaw
ei people utorrent is the best client i haver had i have utilised bitlord and bitcomet but utorrent is the best
Posted by: 0ctane
i use utorrent 1.6 but won't be updating it coz RIAA bought it .
When 1.6 gets banned from trackers i'll use new Az as it uses less memory than utorrent now w00t .
Posted by: rbh
was using bittorrent until i found utorrent. have really enjoyed it and have noticed quicker downloads. i am going to try azureus as well, but my filesharing machine is a dinosaur POS. filesharing is all it is good for and if azureus is as big of a resource hog as i hear from lots of people it may kill it.
Posted by: stoma
utorrent is the best client ...it works with all trackers...
Posted by: kabloomz
well...
considering it was bought out by the BT creator... who now collaborates with the mpaa... this will suck majorly because utorrent could have some hidden features for mpaa agents, they mite incorporate DRM's, etc.... maybe be good for the new features they are talking about.. but for filesharing this would be bad...
then again the BT protocol could be updated to suit the needs of the mpaa... even worse.. :dabs:
Posted by: deputysalty
That's why you don't update, kalboomz. Stick to 1.6.
Posted by: albertadj
Thanks for the advice. I will stick to the older utorrent. Best out there in my humble opinion. Shame to hear about the big money trying yet again to stick it to the little guy.
Posted by: kabloomz
That's why you don't update, kalboomz. Stick to 1.6.
well didn't plan to... but the protocol could still be updated... i am sure the original developer knows this dilema... and i am sure he is racking his brain to figure out a way to work this out...
the irony :wacko:
Posted by: Curlz31
utorrent is clearly the best overall client imo. I have used Bitcomet, BitTorrent and Azureus. All seemed to be slower and Bitcomet and Azureus noticeably slowed down my system. It is unfortunate it was bought out, however I'm sure if there is a problem, programmers will jump on it and produce something better.
Posted by: andreqm
I agree...I have already tried Azureus, Bitcomet, Bittorrent, and know utorrent...
And I feel im gonna stick to it until something better comes up, because nowadays, I have no doubt about it...it's the best one out there..
Posted by: tcas
I've never heard of any tracker banning utorrent, which is why I use it.
Posted by: arkoaction
I hope in future uTorrent would be better!
Posted by: deputysalty
We all hope so. Check out this interview with Bram Cohen.
http://torrentfreak.com/interview-with-bram-cohen-the-inventor-of-bittorrent/
Quotes
TorrentFreak: What was the main reason behind the acquisition of uTorrent?
Bram Cohen: uTorrent has both an impressively clean codebase and large user community, although we were already working on our own C++ implementation. Moving forward, you’ll see announcements related to BitTorrent being embedded on silicon and on non-PC hardware thanks to the new C codebase we have (based on uTorrent and our protocol extensions)."
TorrentFreak: Are their plans to remove any of the present features uTorrent has?
Bram Cohen: No, uTorrent users are quite happy with it, and we wish to keep things that way. In fact, be on the lookout for a Mac and Unix port, which we have the resources to do thanks to the size of our engineering team.
TorrentFreak: Will the uTorrent client be integrated into the BitTorrent Video Store?
Bram Cohen: We’re going to launch our entertainment network with support for whichever BitTorrent client the user wishes to install.
So, hopefully he won't go out an commercialize it.
Posted by: ckyduff
They used to have issues with earlier versions, but utorrent is quite great, espeacially with the remote administration tool..
Adding torrents from work/friends is quite good. Allthough i use RDP mostly, its sometimes easier to just throw one file up via utorrent web interface.
Scheduler is the shit, i just hope they don't bloat the software too much.
Posted by: dkra2004
Works for me
Posted by: ByteBitten
It still works fine. Hopefully updates won't do anything drastic but we can always use the older versions..
Posted by: BillStruth
i used Azureus in the past, and only changed to Utorrent recently. if Utorrent was ever banned i would have no problem going back to. as long as you spend a little time configuring settings on Azureus you should have no problems with it. the only reason i changed from it, is because it is a bit of a resource hog.
Posted by: mathieuleplusbeau
utorrent is still the best

i dont like utorrent if i have bittorret tracker website
plz dont ask why

I like Azureus's MASSIVE plugin base. It's def a resource hog though.

Trust me, the moment uTorrent goes bad (bad version, tracker ban), it'll most likely be in the news.

There is no reason not to use utorrent. Remarkable how good this little peace of software is.

uttorrent is ok i guess simple to use tho
Posted by: kittie217
i like utorrent better.

anak why u have dht enabled???
Posted by: weenden
utorrent works fine for me too!
Posted by: UVRay
utorrent is exactly what I need no more, no less, hope they don't bugger it up, but if they do there will be another lightweight client which comes along to replace it.
Posted by: weenden
i dont no i still like utorrent it works for me
Posted by: Romeo26222
utorrent works fine for me too!
Posted by: Finn_1337
I think I do remember reading some things a few months ago, people were getting paranoid about the future of utorrent. I guess the potential of it being corrupted and used for more than managing p2p. The whole "selling out to the man" perception. And also protection of user privacy issues, spyware, etc...
Posted by: yaheard
1.6 is working fine just dont update.
Posted by: torrentmaster
i think azurues is the best now
Posted by: Temp2007
I proved Azureus,BitComet and uTorrent.
uTorrents is the best!! :P
Posted by: viperain
utorrent is the best. some site dont like the 1.6.1 but u can stay for now in the 1.6 version
Posted by: Charmig_latino
i still use it in every good tracker i have, have no problems
Posted by: filli
I use utorrent on my laptop, bitcomet on my pc... i think i like bitcomet better
Posted by: Timer
I use utorrent on my laptop, bitcomet on my pc... i think i like bitcomet better
I think bitcomet sometimes sends false info to the tracker, which could be interpreted as cheating....
Anyway, I use utorrent and have had no problems.

I'll stick with utorret 1.6 for still sometimes

must use 1.6. Dont change version
Posted by: mestari
1610 does the job very well. No problems so far.
Posted by: GhettoPlayer
must use 1.6. Dont change version
but they gonna ban u bacause u still using a old version,right?
Posted by: Dahg
those of you that have tried the others (particularly azureus), what MAKES Utorrent better in YOUR opinion?
Posted by: viralend
@dahg
Probably the fact that azureus might not be trustworthy. Their client was found to send your ISP name, download, and upload data to "ae2.aelitis.com". At first they made excuses about it. Then they admitted to it, and said it would be removed from future versions except 3.x.x.x.. Also, their new content partner Zudeo is bad news. Also utorrent takes less memory than azureus. :D
Posted by: temagna
i use utorrent as well no issued here
Posted by: DrAgOn
i use utorrent is the best and very fast
Posted by: syd5705
torrent v1.6 is fine

Hi folks. My Utorrent stopped working recently, although it might not be a Utorrent problem since I use it in a library.
Please read this thread (http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/bittorrent/t-file-sharing-library-wifi-161477) where I posted my problem.
And please help me if you can.
BTW, I agree that Utorrent is the best - just because it's not a resource hog. I've used ABC and it was a big hog.
Posted by: kardo
Azureus is best for me
Posted by: Dunax
I can't see why utorrent would be banned from public/private trackers unless it was doing something to mess up the torrent protocol(s). V1.6 is working fine for me with no hassles whatsoever. I've heard of other programs out there that actually cheat the other clients in a torrent and only pull down data and never share.
Posted by: kakta
on the trackers i'm on they recommed it ?
Posted by: Empoy
use azureus instead..
Posted by: diablo1231
i will try
Posted by: ArchStanton
utorrent 1.6 is meant to have an exploit that allows hackers to manipulate torrent files causing a buffer overflow at the targets computer which would make it possible to execute code on it allowing them to put a virus onto the computer memory. utorrent 1.61 has fixed that problem.
Posted by: name in use
well from what i know,im using utorent 1.6 build 474,they got one build higher that is good,after that i think they have something in the actual program that lets the RIAA see what your grabbing or thats the rumor,im happy with what im using and dont see a reason to change.
Posted by: merlinz
what version on Utorrent is "Safe"? I just found out abiht torrents till not been using lime wire. OMG look what i have missed! LOL
Posted by: redball
i think utorrent still the best until now. cuz it's using less PC resources. Azureus sucks need more RAM resources.
Posted by: ghostfreak
utorrent seems fine for me so far on a lot of trackers.
Here's a link to a detailed FAQ on the subject:

Thanks, that's good to know. I wonder if switching back to 1.6 would solve my problem? Do you know where I can D/L it?
EDIT: never mond, I found it here (http://www.oldversion.com/program.php?n=utorrent).
Posted by: bcbeast
Good to know. I'll look into it. Thanks for the post's.
Posted by: overheat
it works normally with me
Posted by: jkashuba07
Yea I have yet to have a problem with utorrent!
Posted by: zipzap
Well, Switching back to version 1.6 didn't change anything. I still can't D/L anything in the library.
I think I'll try Azureus.
Posted by: markyp23
Actually, trackers dont have a problem with version 1.6 abd above.
I've never heard of tracker problems and I'm going to keep using it. If Bram Cohen ruins it, we can still use the current version anway.
Posted by: beco
whats the problem ???
Posted by: W13
UTorrent is working great for me since the beginning.
Posted by: ejac
Reading the forum entries on utorrent i cant find anything that would be bad for the users, nor trackers...
They are just trying to make the best product they can.
