uTorrent 1.7 stable released

[madden player]

Reason?

The client reports false download stats, I believe it has been fixed in ut 1.7.1

--- 2007-07-13: Version 1.7.1 (build 3360)
- Fix: Invalid download amounts being reported to trackers for >4GB torrents

Hope they will lift the ban cause I lost my copy of v1.6.1

Already now which the problem in this version 1.7, therefore already I read that an imperfection in the same one exists, which can be used to advantage by badly intentioned people.
It will be really or not?

Thanks

- Feature: uTorrent now reports your IP and download/upload information to MPAA and RIAA.

What sort of proof do you have of this?


All I see here is a "because I said they do".

Thanks for info, Corey but like kapowcowpwned said, I'd stick with 1.61 for a while.

no no no, u gotta go with just 1.6 not 1.61

It was a really quick upgrade so I doubt anything suspect was added.
I dunno if I should downgrade to 1.6, there was apparently some security flaw in 1.6, if I remember correctly, which is the reason for the upgrade from 1.6 to 1.61.

Utorrent 1.7 is banned at DH. I know a bunch of other sites have started banning and I'm sure majority will soon! I wouldn't recommend using it if I were any of you.

Every version > 1.6.1 is Bittorrent Inc., which is directly in partnership with the movie studios. Viacom Inc.'s Paramount Pictures, News Corp.'s 20th Century Fox, Lionsgate, Palm Pictures and Kadokawa Pictures USA etc etc .

In fact versions > 1.7 don't even have the same developer doing it. It's all handled now by Bittorrent Inc's development. The original author (up to 1.6.1) is no longer even part of the project.


Right from uTorrent's FAQ

"Who makes µTorrent?

Ludvig Strigeus (ludde) is the original author and former maintainer of µTorrent.

BitTorrent Inc's developers are the current maintainers of µTorrent. "

If you want to use a client that is endorsed by the MPAA/RIAA have fun!
