Forumas it is not my firewall already gave it full access to all inbound and outboubd traffic. I'm not able to connect to a swarm of peers for some reason. If anyone has an idea or could point me in the right direction. Leave me a link via pm. Thanks everyone.
hehe i love to help if i can:D
can u tell me what error u getting in tracker status??
also disable complete your firewall and restart utorrent..must work:)
Just keep getting offline timed out. Every torrent seems to work except one torrent from myspleen (Failure: Bad Client (UT1760). They banned 1.7.6 which i don't understand why, if every other tracker is embracing this current version due to the doss attack situation . Any Myspleen mods on here?
Re: Join Forces Against Utorrent 1.7.6
they may do the same as BCG
Ban all clients and only allow those that we want in.
which means as its a brand new build they might want to see if its ok first before they allow it. i have seen us wait 2-3 weeks before allowing a new build of a client, which is why i was pretty surprised when i woke up this morning, we had already allowed 1.7.6 as it usually takes a bit.

probably your firewall are blocking new version of utorrent..u need to again set new rule for new utorrent in your firewall:)

Guys no need to humiliate the poor guy, he didn't even say why he wanted to "unite" against the new version perhaps he missed this news thread

Security vulnerabilities in BitTorrent clients are relatively rare, although not unheard of. Luigi Auriemma, a Milan-based security expert, claims to have found a vulnerability in various BitTorrent clients based on the way they handle user-supplied data. The flaw allows an attacker to crash the application, effectively denying service to legitimate users. Code execution is not possible, which means there is little reason for users to panic.
So far, the problem appears to affect these clients:
- BitTorrent 6.0 (build 5535)
- uTorrent 1.7.5 (build 4602)
- uTorrent 1.8 (alpha 7834)
Luigi is reporting that earlier versions of these clients may also be vulnerable and this appears to have been confirmed by the uTorrent team. The problems are confirmed to exist on Windows versions of the software. As yet, Mac and Linux versions of the official BitTorrent client have not been tested.
The uTorrent team state the flaw affects all older uTorrent versions 1.6 and 1.7.x. too but have been quick to respond, releasing a new build - uTorrent 1.7.6 (build 7859) "

Most trackers i have seen allow this updated version (1.7.6) already.

I won't be using anything since the joint venture with the mpaa and utorrent
either 1.6 or I go with something else
Hatile may be the option for me now

The exploit that allows running code on 1.6.x is an old exploit, and on any decent private site is not usable. 1.6.x is not suitable for public site use, but it's been that way since february of last year. It's almost 12 months too late to get your knickers in a twist about it.
The latest remote crash exploit doesn't even work on 1.6.x versions. Freaking out and banning one of the few versions that aren't susceptible is only putting users in a worse position.

Now they are saying it doesn't affect 1.6, and my testing agrees.
1.6 does not even display the info gathered from extended messaging version info.
