Due to a SERIOUS exploit with Windows and uTorrent, all versions of uTorrent after 1.8.2 (14458) are banned except for the latest, uTorrent 2.0.4 (21586).
Okay, the DLL exploit is so overblown that it's not even funny. Windows, Linux, and Macs all have the concept of the working directory for the program, windows just happens to check the working directory for dlls before the system directories (which was deprecated by default past Windows XP SP2).
The only way this vulnerability will affect you is if you randomly download a malicious dll file, put a .torrent file in the same directory for some reason, and then open that file. And really, if they weren't being total hypocrites they'd ban EVERY client before 2.0.4, since 1.8.2 and 1.7.7 et al also have this vulnerability. It's just an excuse for them to cull some versions off the whitelist.
For anyone who's convinced the sky is falling, the hotfix for all versions of windows can be found here:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2264107
It might break some of your applications if they rely on this functionality to run, but I'm currently running it on Windows 7 with no noticeable issues.
It's so great they have such a genuine concern for their user's security. :rolleyes:
I use rTorrent so this does not apply to me.

Well yeah, because rTorrent isn't for Windows... so you obviously won't have a problem :unsure:Quote:

I've seen All the Right Moves twice and let me say that's hardly the spirit that Lebanon PA was founded on.Quote:

I have to update?
Sorry, I'm bad at this. Is there some sort of catch in this question, or did you just feel like increasing your postcount? :unsure:Quote:

Compare the little numbers in your current uTorrent's About window against the ones in the first post, and find out yourself. :O
so, i can't find anything here. :sadwalk:
I disappointed you three times today then.Quote:

I had a couple things seeding with 1.8.5 which are now in the red. I guess I need to decide if I want to change. I am scared of change.

Your version is between 1.8.2 (14458) and 2.0.4 (21586). That would be a yes in my book, you have to update.
thanks Tokeman, I'll update.
//done it.
senegal was obviously trolling this thread, but it's still nice to see you've taken the time to reply, nonetheless. :)Quote:

You are still being more than a little vague but by that silly screenshot I'm going to assume that it has something to do with dubious invite forums and people that don't have the God- given sense to use capitals.:mellow:
And I thank the baby Jesus every day for that fact.Quote:
