I recently heard some arguments for and against upgrading utorrent from
v 1.6 to 1.6.1, and I'm not sure if I should upgrade or not. :mellow:
Can someone explain the advantages\disadvantages of the new version, and what do you think I should do?

I think there was a thread about the uTorrent having exploits so hackers can get in. I can't really remember how it goes though.
Advantages
- ease of use
- interface
Disavantages
- closed source
- uTorrent was bought by BitTorrent Inc. and BT Inc. had to cooperate with MPAA and Major Movie Studios because it was threatened with legal action (so uT is practically owned by the aforementioned)
I loved uT but now I'm seriously thinking of switching to another client.
Not so fond of Azureus, 'cause they kept the phone-home feature (i.e. Azureus reporting your total UL, total DL and ISP name and info to AZ) hidden for one year. It is fixed now though.
it's good
but nothin new shown
Azureus is the best
I remember reading some where to stay at ver. 1.5 but after a format I could n't find it again so 1.6 is where I'll stay .
It's not that difficult to find version 1.5 ( http://www.filehippo.com/download_utorrent/?922 )
But do you remember why switching to version 1.6 is bad?
heh im still using 1.5.1 beta good thing its not banned :) in any of the trackers I use http://www.utorrent-deutsch.de/downl...-build-454.exe
It was something on this forum I read but can't remember why . :( It was probably because of the open source angle which I prefer .Quote:
