[andrzejek1999]

actually, it's not because of improper .torrent file

but when u r running that vuln utorrent on vuln windows the attacker just use that compiled sploit vs your computer, and whike utorrent is running he actually bypass all walls ( firewall ect, )

and can do on your comp whatever he wants, until u just simply close utorrent.

thereis no running vuln app, there is no attacer connected to your comp.
that simple.
