I was wondering which version is the best....and less problems...thx! :)
Im using the old one. But i dont think there is anything wrong with the new one.
Im just to lazy to change.
I find that the old one is a bit faster....but i could be wrong!
and remember some torrents have rules as to what versions they allow :P i still use 1.6.1 though
What build is the best to use?
1.6.1
nothin wrong with it and its accepted on pretty much all trackers
Do u know what build is the best? BUILD in the about utorrent section...thx!Quote:

Recently like a 1.8 beta was released.

utorrent 1.7.5 is allowed on almost every tracker i only know that digital hive is bloking them(staff there are really paranoid)
1.6.1 (490) is probably the only uTorrent allowed on all private trackers, at least there has never been an issue with this version unlike many others. There has been much confusion about the 1.7.x versions out there because some trackers at first didn't want to allow them but that changed later on. The best 1.7 version to use is probably 1.7.5
About the 1.8 betas: as far as I know only HDBits is allowing them at the moment but then I'm not in the business of reading news each day on all trackers I'm registered on ;)
What i don't understand is TL is saying this....
Due to the increasing numbers of bans latest days,we'd like to remind you to make sure:
a)MAKE SURE YOU USE THE LATEST VERSION OF YOUR TORRENT CLIENT(we highly recommend utorrent (www.utorrent.com) and
b)MAKE SURE THAT DHT/PEER EXCHANGE/LOCAL PEER DISCOVERY and so on and so on are DISABLED in your clients.
I still use v1.6 & 1.6.1 on TL and had no issues with it or the site.Quote:

So we can only speculate why BitTorrent Inc. (or someone else?) is hidding there. People that prefer to hide are suspicious in the first place.Quote:

Regardless, I made a little test. I upgraded to the much bigger (?!) uTorrent v1.7.5, check the prefs and let the download run for like a hour or so. Then I stop it, removed it and in 2 min fired up and completely re-set the prefs to be the same, but fresh - the uTorrent v1.6.1. I immediatelly got like 2x faster DL speed.
It could be fluke, in the P2P world is nothing certain, but my suspiction rise badly. Remember, the v1.7.5 got already hour or so to establish connections and stuff, while the v1.6.1 run on fresh start and it run much faster. After a while I get 3x faster DL speed that with what I get with 1.7.5 steady for like a hour before.
All that in just under 10 min.
Hence I never ever upgrade uTorrent v1.6.1 to anything else and I would recommend that to all others, but...
Of course, anyone can do what the hell they please ;) I, for myself, do not trust people that are hidding and then talking about supporting community and P2P. Nah. Too risky for my taste.
But feel free to take the chances ;)
didn't think about latest version 1.7.5.since I thought 1.6.1 is pretty good I never updated itQuote:

I mean most trackers not major trackers -my mistake
like blackcat which banned 1.7.# versions (may be 1.7.5 not)
so wer can i down the 1.6.1 (490) ??
http://filehippo.com/download_utorrent/?2253 here ya go, its got all of the old versions of utorrent aswell ;)
yeah i stayed with 1.6.1 and i don t have any need to upgrade for now
I liked 1.6.1 I never did upgrade though because of a site I used didn't like it. So I just stuck with the old one.
