client was auto updated to v3 earlier today.
i think its "the" crappiest version of utorent, screwd-up UI, its not "mue" anymore it has grown up fatty 600+kb with loads of bloat, apps, call home, toolbar.... and what not.
my uploads where almost reduced to 25-30% of my actual speed. reverted back to v2.2 (v3 cocked-up all configurations). reconfigured v2 and now upload speed returned to normal.
That doesn't sound too promising...
Haven't tried it yet, but everything I've heard (including your post) is negative. Looks like they're too busy adding features that are OK for the newbie, but only a nuisance for those of us who are advanced users.
There probably be a version without all those things, but that'd probably give the development team extra work.
uTorrent is turning into a shittier version of Vuze. The whole movement of the 2.x series and now the 3.x series has been terrible imo.
Development, not for good. As Anon pointed out, adding more and more features for the newbies only making it worse. GUI also getting creepier with this 3x series.
EDIT: Come on, who needs a search engine plugin within a torrent client?
There r many problems...more than 8.....and they just added a streaming service or something......used it and throw it away...waitin for a good version....
@whatcd....AT still haven't opened....when it does I'll inform u asap....
utorrent 1.8.5 build 17414 FTW!!!!
Never upgraded that. Working smoothly for me for past 2 years :)

And I think J-Dye gets today's PotD award...
Firon wanted everyone to think that 1.6.0 and the 1.6.1 had security vulnerability so we all update to the newest version that was backed by the mpaa, wait and see they find everything wrong with all other versions so you go the newest version 3.Not playing that game :-)Quote:

This particular attack was documented by TF:
http://torrentfreak.com/bittorrent-c...attack-080117/
About the MPAA thing, every time I update my uTorrent I unpack the executable and remove the IPs and URLs which are said to be "bad", mostly out of paranoia.
Oh, and what's up with programs needlessly using every time more screen space? Happened when I switched from Opera 9.x to 10 (menus), Windows XP to 7 (files in the "details" view, Task Manager entries), and now uTorrent 3 does the same (torrent list entries). :dabs:
as it is old version some private torrent sites does not allow this.Quote:

yes v 1.8x is the best so far .... Utorrent its going in turmoil after acquisition of Utorrent by bittorrent and call-back is been injected in each build :\
You just made me remember that when I switched from 1.7.7 to the first stable 1.8 I was like "what the hell did they do to the interface?", too.Quote:

btw any idea why they remove the chat form the final release ?
btw they ass-raped the definition of Mu ( μ ) which represents one millionth part of of an entity.
They should make a classic client option available like Vuze.

Since Bittorrent Corp. wants to turn it into a social app, I've looked into alternatives like qBittorrent and Deluge. But versions prior to 2.2.1 are good too.
edit: DLL vuln has been patched by MS so older versions are ok
There was a Windows hotfix released for the DLL vulnerability ages ago, and I'm assuming it was officially added to a patch down the road once its effect was measured. That shouldn't be the reason for your version choice.
As I told megabyteme on that news thread, you might want to check Halite out. It has all the "essential" features and a small footprint. The great client no one uses. :PQuote:

is there any way to manually remove all the extra crap in utorrent 3?
like the toolbar and chat and all that potentially threatens privacy and security of the user?
that is strip it to the core
is qbitorrent accepted in all major Trackers?
like BCG IPT BG FL
I might just start running rtorrent via cygwin.
Guyz...I used 4 or 5 BT clients and nothing is so good and simple as utorrent.....I don't know about the webUI Client but Utorrent is the the client for the rookie, for the pro and for the best type of home user....yesterday evening I installed deluge and was testing it...they said the r going to add "initial seeding" later...Deluge don't have the many features like utorrent...sometimes the deluge won't start and I have reset...etc etc etc...Then I felt sad....uninstalled the whole deluge with GTK+ and cleaned my PC....
aren't it was open source before the acquisition :XQuote:

so end result in negative :S
At least BCG allows this version anf that's enogh for me. :)Quote:

Indeed it's been a while since the last update, I've also posted that in the news thread.Quote:

It'll never be as efficient as if the crap wasn't there to begin with, though.Quote:

What is the significant of removing them ? if its related to my privacy & not chance to get banned in tracker i would love those ....Quote:

Since I'm already posting, here they are.

These are to bootstrap DHT, i.e. get initial nodes. I don't usually remove them.
These I haven't tried removing yet. Doing so may or may not (are there any other possibilities?) break something. The ones colored red may make the installation wizard crash.Code:router.bittorrent.com
