- Feature: uTorrent now reports your IP and download/upload information to MPAA and RIAA.
Thanks but I think I'm gonna stick with my handy 1.6 until this gets checked for bugs, hacks etc.
i think it is good client but i think now for some time i use utorrent 1.6 version until it will be allowed on all trackers..
Thanks for info, Corey but like kapowcowpwned said, I'd stick with 1.61 for a while.
i use only 1.6 now wait for a wail until its allowd on all trackers :P
SweEeEeT, TnX Corey for the news.
Kind skeptic about upgrading ever since they've been bought out.
Ive got no problems with 1.6. and you know what they say,
If it ain't broke don't fix it.
As long as some trackers don't force me to upgrade my client while others have 1.7 on their ban-list, I don't care about this new version yet ;)
Thanks for the info,ill let time pass and see how the torrent sites accept it.
Same here, and I'll wait for trackers to aprove it.Quote:

Will never update above 1.6 most likely.
After months of hard work and nearly half a year after the release of their previous stable release uTorrent 1.7 finally sees the light. uTorrent 1.7 comes with several new features and some essential changes and big fixes.
uTorrent 1.7 is fully Vista compatible and the 65,536 piece limit for torrents is removed which might improve the download speed of larger torrents.
Other noticeable changes are:
- Feature: option to auto update to betas
- Feature: automatic upload speed limiting
- Feature: Web seed support for single-file torrents
- Feature: Local Peer Discovery
- Change: Prioritize seed queue based off seed/peer ratio
- Change: Improved half-open connection management
- Fix: download rate limiting bug
- Fix: UPnP mapping when local IP changes

Mine auto-upgraded I think. It says 1.7.1 but I don't remember upgrading. :unsure:
EDIT: Sorry, misread. This is about stable, not 1.7.1 Beta. Honestly, I thought I was still using 1.6.1 Beta.
W00t :w00t: d/ling
Noticed a connection from this yesterday, but didn't realise it was a stable release.
My dl speed sucks with this version, and it takes forever to connect to people..
I'll wait a while before upgrading...
seems that the 1.7 final is still buggy... doesn't report the DL correctly to the tracker. probably they'll release an update soon.

We think we've found the bug, and are testing a fix. Sorry for the hassle and thanks for your patience.
Edit: The bug in reference is the download reporting for the tracker.
Thanks Corey for the info.
Upgrade now.;)
:gunsmilie
for a freeware products like utorrent the community is what keeps it alive. if there is no community than there is no utorrent. meaning the minute utorrent puts a bug/hack/code in it that reports to the bad people. people will find out about it and stop using it hence no more utorrent hence they would be shooting them selves in the foot and their would be no point to that.Quote:
I'm Paranoid, I'm paranoid every ones out to get me... like they never met me.
so relax:P
(not saying it would not happen... just unlikely)
Well, the "bad people" you speak of could pay utorrent to do that thus making money off their product. Think of it as selling utorrent to the "bad people".
I mean look at everyone who is watching utorrent closely. so whats the point of putting some hack in utorrent because it probably can be found out easily by some hacker or some mod and when the torrenting community finds out, utorrent (bittorrent inc, MPAA etc.) will loose the company and money!
Edit: I hate what has become of utorrent too and I'm not trying to protect what they really stand for just being the devils advocate.
the 1.7 is banned from BitmeTV :dabs:
Nice. Can't wait to try it out.
well i'm using 1.7,cant really see much of a change..
1.6 works sweetly right now.. Lets wait till this gets accepted at all trackers..
someone else will come along and develop the next utorrent... (replacement to utorrent)
I like the way 1.7 cuts torrents that are packs(like with 10 movies)all into there separate folder when you download it.Really comes in handy when you want to pick and chose what to download from a huge pack.
