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.

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

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

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

In my opinion, utorrent 1.8.5 is the best :)

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.

---

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

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

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

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:

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.

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

Yeppers....updated and loving it!

µTorrent 2.1 alpha 18429 build
addressing some issues

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

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

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...

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.

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:

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?

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...

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.

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.).

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?

use vuze

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

1.8.5 Build 17414?

It's slower .

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

I am using 2.0.1 what trackers have banned it??

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