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.
