im not sure what we are going to do about this yet, we do allow 1.7.6 but we also allow, 1.6.0, 1.6.1, 1.7.5.

I even use 1.6.1 on Vista (tbh i have no problems with it on vista so not sure what the poster above was on about)

But surely this is a client side problem, Not a tracker problem (IE it does not report wrong stats to the tracker etc) so im not sure why its the trackers responsibilty to ban earlier versions if its a user side problem and not a tracker problem.

A client that is malevolent to the user, the swarm, and the tracker should not be sanctioned by the tracker, if only because the tracker values the integrity of the swarm and therefore their own existence.

The client may not be malevolent to the swarm of a tracker in itself, but it certainly has the potential to be abused by malevolent crackers. See the OP. That potentiality is reason enough to ban anything but those clients that are invulnerable to this dos attack.

So, it's not about some foggy responsibility; it's a question of whether the tracker values their own swarm.

1.6.1 is the best and no need at all to upgrade it

Wow... I don't know what to do about this. I have been only using version 1.6 for almost 2 years now. I'm at odds about this. May have to make the switch it if more sites force me to do so. I don't want to risk being banned over all this.
