Sounds good deuce, thanks
:)
Cheers deuce. so what do you think? I like the graphical progress bar and the list of changes is quite impressive. I'll have to use it a bit longer before I can tell but at first glance it seems to connect to peers slightly slower than version 1.5 anyone else find that? overall though seems good.
I'll stick with 1.5 until another stable version comes out.
I still have 1.4, haven't found a reason to upgrade.
I upgraded to RC1 and it's quite good though...yes i notested that too...:(Quote:

Options,Preferences,protocol encryption.
I was using it for a bit (when it was called 1.5.4.something beta) but after a few days it was banned from bitmetv and a few other sites. Seeing as how I love my private trackers sites and fearing an IP ban I had no choice but to go back to 1.5 stable. I did like it though. The progress bars, the ability to change upload and download cap speeds from the sys tray icon, and still light as ever on resources. uTorrent for the win baby, the best client in my opinion!
took the words out of my mouth.Quote:

im also holding off for a final release.
i tried a beta a couple weeks back, that new progress bar looked damn ugly and annoying. i hope it can be disabled.
The latest stable version is still 1.5.Quote:

Apparently its buggy so I would wait.
@delimare: I heared about an early version of UTorrent getting bannd a while back. when was the version you had banned??
So far so good for me if trackers start banning it I'll go back too version 1.5 but for now I'm happy.

Fair enough I'll have to make sure it's all good before I download more shit with it I wouldn't want to get an IP ban for nothing.
If they ban anything it will be the client(which i doubt because its at least a release candidiate)and if they were going to ban people im sure they would at least warn you to stop using it.I have been using one version or another of beta utorrent since may 8th and havent been banned by any sites.
Better safe then sorry though.
@deuce: exactly I'm still going to use it so far none of the stes I use say it's banned so I'm happy but I'm def going to keep my eyes open :)
utorrent tells the tracker its version 1.6rc1, and some trackers that dont allow betas simply block those versions. the sites dont ban u, but simply prevent u using the client in the 1st place.Quote:

thats old news. anyone who reads beyond the headline know that he did nothing wrong. his judgement pehaps wasnt the best, but he in no way supported any anti-p2p organisation. its his work, he has the right, and the trust of its users, to keep the source closed.
explain how he "cooperated" with themQuote:

@John: you took the words right out of my mouth.
M8 you got to be joking who cares what ludd does. yah got to make a living right? he's put his time and effort into making the best client which he gives away for free. so what if he uses his reputation to earn a little cash. who wouldn't? anyone who tries to deny that is deluding themselves. No version of UTorrent is compromised by ad/spy/malware so whats the big deal get over it.Quote:

You should get disabled for spamming.
1.6 was released 6 month's ago. That's 5 month's before Bittorrent bought µTorrent.Quote:
