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?

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:.
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
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.
Using 1.8.5(17414)
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.
still using 1.85 becoz not sure of 2.00 yet
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.
Yes I have updated it for quite some time now. The feature I love most is the new statistics page. :)
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.
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.
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.Quote:

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
well, according to some tracker:
uTorrent 1.8.2.0 (build 14458)Quote:
The best, fastest and most recommended versions of uT for usage on a private tracker are
uTorrent 1.6.1 (build 490)
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.
ok, thanks.
/me is secretly waiting for anon-sbi answer
it's all good for me
Nothing worth mentioning? :unsure:Quote:

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 1.8.2Quote:

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

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.Quote:

I tried it and my sown/up speed decreased by 15% , so I rolled back to 1.8 .
Try this. I found it in one Bulgarian forum. I hope it will help you all.

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.
I don't understand why people are so enthusiastic to upgrade to vers.2? :unsure:
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..
Because of the Olympic Motto?:lol:Quote:

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.Quote:
