I installed the latest µTorrent 1.7 a few hours ago and the MPAA is at my door right now. Wish me luck.
they said that the mpaa and Bram Cohen were working to remove copyright material from Bram's search engine. They say nothing about working with the mpaa to target anyone using the client. Just because Bram Cohen is willing to remove links from his search engine, does not in any way mean he is working hand in hand with anything the MPAA wants. Get real. No buisness is going to let an outside force run their buisness without a fight.
He's only doing what google, filemirrors, and other big sites are doing, removing links, nothing more.
Quit spreading rumor and propoganda that has no evedence to support it, or, PROVE ME WRONG.
Edit: Sites also normally ban each release as it comes out of beta. They just want to thouroughly test it first. And guess what, soon enough, they unban it, and say you must upgrade, then they ban the older version due to hacks.
Take a look down history lane.

We have also baned Utorrent 1.7 and 1.7.1 and all new releases for utorrent. If you wish to use utorrent on wb you must use 1.6 and 1.6.1 for now.

We have now banned µtorrent 1.7 an 1.7.1, and now redirected members back to 1.6.1 release.
Should have guessed something like this would happen when bram got his hands on it.

Um, are you guys just jumping on the band wagon and believing the rumors? Or is there actually some shred of proof that just hasn't made it beyond sysops of torrent sites?
no its something we have been looking at over the last 2 to 3 days. We have talked to other staff and owners else where and did some testing and we feel at this point in time to ban these 2 releases. 1 reason is it still does not report right on wb.

Have you talked to the uTorrent devs to get your concerns addressed?
