utorrent 2.0 and private trackers

[1000possibleclaws]

Have most of you guys upgraded yet? I had been putting it off on the assumption that some trackers wouldn't automatically accept it. Have all of the main ones given this client the green light?

[Rart]

I've heard good things about and have been itching to upgrade, especially since I reformatted my computer after my RC expired. But it still hasn't been whitelisted at a few of the trackers that I download most frequently from(mainly BCG), so I had to make sure to find an older version off the utorrent forums rather than use 2.0 :dabs:.

[karachidude]

the upgrade hit me pretty bad....lost all my torrents 5 timesafter the upgrade..the most recent loss was yesterday,never had this happened before to me..loading them again is a pain..let me tell u guys theres another upgrade i got after the version upgrade

[ca_aok]

Still using 1.8.2/14458. I'm waiting for a few upgrades to smooth out the wrinkles, I've heard some bad things about 2.0.

[Zac090]

Using 1.8.5(17414)

[MadIrish]

I haven't yet, not whitelisted @ several of my trackers yet, and besides, given the history of the 1.7x and 1.8x series, imo it never does much harm to hold off updating utorrent for a short while.

[db_la_23]

still using 1.85 becoz not sure of 2.00 yet

[b3owulf]

It's whitelisted on most of my trackers, so I upgraded right after uT 2.0 was released. Working fine right now, no issues, crashes or something yet. Also, uTP seems to be working fine and netload decreased a bit.

[Aum]

Yes I have updated it for quite some time now. The feature I love most is the new statistics page. :)

[pretend]

I'm on 1.8.5 so far. Can't wait to try 2.0, but it still isn't approved at BitMeTV and BitMe.

[TP635]

I will only upgrade when required; when ver.1.8.5 is banned on one of the tracker that I have account. I don't see any need to upgrade when the ver. I use is working well for me.

[cinephilia]

let me hijack this thread for a second: i'd just like to know the main difference(s) between utorrent 1.8.2.0 (build 14458) and utorrent 1.8.5.0 (build 17414). it looks like many torrenters decided to stick with the 1.8.2, that's why i'm asking.

Its probably because they were to lazy to update lol.
I know mine is 1.8.2.0 because I just clicked no every time it asked me to update.

I just had to reformat my main machine, and I got utorrent 2.0 on my main machine (just to see what the all the talk is about).
I only downloaded a file from bitgamer and It worked fine

[cinephilia]

well, according to some tracker:

The best, fastest and most recommended versions of uT for usage on a private tracker are
uTorrent 1.8.2.0 (build 14458)
uTorrent 1.6.1 (build 490)

[ca_aok]

For me it was the least buggy of the 1.8.x versions. I had issues with 1.8.3/4 so I downgraded. Perhaps the final build of 1.8.5 is ok, haven't really tried it.

[cinephilia]

ok, thanks.


/me is secretly waiting for anon-sbi answer

[Swift]

it's all good for me

[anon]

secretly waiting for anon-sbi answer

Nothing worth mentioning? :unsure:

I never had any problems with the 1.8.x series, but I have also never used a stable version anymore ever since 1.9 and 2.1 were released. Nowadays I use a mod of 2.1 that emulates 2.0 to the tracker and peers, since pretty much none of the trackers I leech from block that.

[kukushka]

well, according to some tracker:

uTorrent 1.6.1 (build 490)
this new utp stuff that they're playing with, it is supposed to be the next step and blabla but in reality there is a chance of having problems with it running.. i experienced upload problems with 1.8.5 so i had to turn utp off, since that my 1.8.5 runs just like the good old 1.8.2

[anon]

since that my 1.8.5 runs just like the good old 1.8.2

But uTP support has been there since 1.8... :unsure:

[some1]

i used u torrent 2.0 but it wasnot so good .i like 1.8.5 more

[TraLaLa]

my upload speed was limited by the isp (bcz its crap) that limit is no more since i use utorrent 2.0

[anon]

that limit is no more since i use utorrent 2.0

uTP :yup: It also enabled me to bypass my ISP's shaping. I guess it has its good and bad sides.

[Zoness]

I am running the stable revision of 2.0 (18296) with uTP disabled because it was causing some weird behavior. Everything appears smooth now. I've had a problem with net flooding or traffic shaping so having uTP turned off isn't that big of a deal.

There have been a lot of changes between the versions (check the changelogs for details). Some of the changes were related to security issues found in the client that should not affect users of private trackers, if I recall correctly.

Also, I've spoken to some knowledgeable people who claim uT 1.8.5.0 sometimes reports stats incorrectly.

[eldiesel]

I tried it and my sown/up speed decreased by 15% , so I rolled back to 1.8 .

[sake]

Try this. I found it in one Bulgarian forum. I hope it will help you all.

Tested with µTorrent v2.0 Build 18097 и Build 18296.

[eldiesel]

thanks for the info .

[sake]

thanks for the info .

You are welcome :)

[TraLaLa]

so what does that really change ?

[Rart]

so what does that really change ?

Umm...Disables automatic bandwidth management and control? Like it says?

[Lovestoned]

so what does that really change ?

Well, uTorrent 1.X never had that bandwidth management option..

The second's just disabling the TCP controlling on the client, very apparently.

net.low_cpu would also most probably mean having the option for uTorrent to use a set amount of cpu usage in case of a memory leakage like Firefox used to have. I use a bot which has such an option too.

[Magnum]

I don't understand why people are so enthusiastic to upgrade to vers.2? :unsure:

[Romain]

the version 2.0/2.1 beta so bad.. so slow.. alot of bugs..
i'm on utorrent 1.8.5 the best for me..

[The_Martinator]

I don't understand why people are so enthusiastic to upgrade to vers.2? :unsure:

Because of the Olympic Motto?:lol:

[anon]

so what does that really change ?

Unticking "Enable bandwidth management" disables uTP. Setting bt.tcp_rate_control to false prevents uTorrent from using uTP transport info as a hit to limit the TCP speeds as well. And setting net.low_cpu to true will cause a very slight reduction in CPU usage (and speeds).

[EyeCandy]

BitMeTV has banned uTorrent 2.0

The best TV torrent site there is....

thats all she wrote

utorrent has dug its own grave

[anon]

utorrent has dug its own grave

That's a bit too drastic. uTorrent 2.0 just has a few bugs on its uTP implementation that are on the process of getting fixed already.

[Lazy29]

I like uT 2.0
BMTV say no no to uT 2.0
I don't like uT 2.0
I like uT 1.8

[TraLaLa]

You like BMTV

Firon and his dev team has its own agenda and its not helping the Private BT community as you in Spoofing clients for 2.1, you are going to get a lot of peeps banned from sites
E.D

[anon]

It's not spoofing, it's called emulation. :cool:

It would get you banned though???!!!! :O

[invitetr]

In my opinion, utorrent 1.8.5 is the best :)

[anon]

If it did I wouldn't have a single tracker account left. :unsure:

that's the answer i was looking for. thanks.

[karachidude]

i have reverted back to 1.8.4..the 1.8 series never game problems to me

[Fishy2]

Simple advice give v2 a miss for now caused me loads of headwork with incorrect stats and H&R's, not a happy bunny :(

[1000possibleclaws]

Is BCG the only tracker (minus obscure ones) that doesn't allow this version? Almost all my non-music torrents are from that site, so I will not be able to upgrade until they allow it.

Guess I'm glad I held off. Hopefully all the quirks will be sorted soon, because from what I've seen the new interface is a bit better, and I'd never be bothered to mod utorrent otherwise. Better to stick with something that ain't broke.. :unsure:

[anon]

BCG is a bit slow allowing newer clients in general. I guess they want to throughoutly check new versions for incorrect behavior before allowing them.

[ExtraDry]

Torrent 2 is released then 2.01 straight to beta, what does that tell you ut2 isn't all that.

[DocBoM]

Yeppers....updated and loving it!

[ExtraDry]

µTorrent 2.1 alpha 18429 build
addressing some issues

[JakeSully]

I will wait for final 2.1..............trackers might still reject it

[thisguy]

alot of trackers will ban you if you use utorrent v2, i wish all the tracker would just pick up the pace and get a move on it already

[Zac090]

i wish all the tracker would just pick up the pace and get a move on it already
That seems practically impossible :rolleyes:

[anon]

alot of trackers will ban you if you use utorrent v2

Banning you for using a certain version? Which trackers do that? As far as I know in most cases you'll only get a "your client is banned" message...

[Quarterquack]

I've heard about a guy, who was a brother of a girlfriend of my uncle's step-brother's son that BitMeTV usually bans users based on using a wrong client. They're really strict about it.

[anon]

They're so strict they have banned users because their anti-cheat scripts detected the latest version of Azureus as a cheat mod... and I'm not talking about the Vuze cheat mod, but the official client. :dabs:

[The_Martinator]

So what do you guys say, is it safe to upgrade it yet? I see that Pedro's now allows v2...

[Lovestoned]

So what do you guys say, is it safe to upgrade it yet? I see that Pedro's now allows v2...

I don't think it's safe, so do most of the staffs at the private trackers too.

If I recalled correctly they have to go through a lot of extensive testing on specific versions before allowing it.. that takes at least a month or two, no?

[The_Martinator]

Yeah, just saw that it's still banned at Bitme.

I think the testing usually takes more like a week or two than a month or two...

[LubTheStaringCat]

I was using utorrent 2.0 but just downgraded to 1.8.5, because a number of trackers are not allowing It to be used yet.

[anon]

I think the testing usually takes more like a week or two than a month or two...

It's still a lot considering a new uTorrent build is released pretty much every week, unless they're testing the first one for every version (1.8.4, 1.8.5, 2.0, etc.).

[jibblet]

So if uTorrent v.2 is banned on your favourite tracker, what is the best alternative to use?

I have read on uTorrent's website that there is a know exploit for v1.8+ so am not keen on using them.

Any advice?

[TraLaLa]

use vuze

[buidanhthuy]

I'm using 2.0.1, everything works fine (Bitsoup and Lasttorrents). Except BCG, what tracker banned utorrent 2.0 :/

[anon]

So if uTorrent v.2 is banned on your favourite tracker, what is the best alternative to use?

1.8.5 Build 17414?

[eldiesel]

It's slower .

[anon]

2.0? Disable uTP. If you aren't shaped or know how to limit your upload speed, you have no real use for it.

[homoloordi]

I am using 2.0.1 what trackers have banned it??

[Champo101]

Alot of private Trackers don't allow some of the newer versions yet so no I have not upgraded yet.
