1.7.7 folks!

[grimms]

this is ridiculous ..back to 1.6.1.

Lol. Isn't it confusing. Every other day a new update. I actually like 1.7.7 so far though.

[SCR]

well i already have problems with 1.7.7: on TT it says : Failure : Your client is spoofing...and is banned in BCG

[grimms]

Damn your right. I just noticed it in the client BCG already banned this version. I'm goig back to ut 1.6.1. Damn i was seeding a game in 1.7.7 i hope i fdon't get int roble had to delete it cause bcg banned 1.7.7.

[fOrUmAs]

177 is allowed on most tracker that i use so np here,also give some time to BC or TT becuase they need to test it first lol..

[stoi]

yeah its not banned on BCG, it just is not allowed yet.

but i agree this is getting silly, this is twice they they have brought out an update and then a day or 2 later another one.

im sticking to 1.6.1 at least i know thats fine for me.

[davidw89]

allow 1.6.1 and 1.7.6 for heavens sake..and leave it like that for some time..

uTorrent seems to be having a lot of trouble lately. Maybe it's better to just use Azureus temporarily and wait until these issues with uTorrent has been resolved.

... if only azureus wasn't so resources hungry... i'd switch immediately. as for now i'll stick with utorrent, though it lost all its charm since banning of 1.6.1

[Tokeman]

well I havn't updated yet, since its not in the auto update yet, and I've had no trouble seeding still with 1.7.6 on any of my trackers. It may be ban'd but they are not enforcing it yet...
Just food for thought for those of you not wanting to upgrade/downgrade/switch yet.

damn..the rate at which threads are opening up about utorrent we will soon need a separate section for it here on FST
post your cribbings about utorrent here
i still dunno why they have to hit the panic button everytime a new version is released. 1.6.1 was so safe and nice. still found nothing wrong with it

from the utorrent forums, not sure about the validity, but i'm sure a dev will post about this sooner or later on this post:

"The original bug that was fixed in 1.7.6 was not present in 1.6.1.
The bug that 1.7.7 fixes IS present in 1.6.1 and will NOT be fixed in a new 1.6.x build."

found here: http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=29330&p=12

I'd wait for a post from some one in the utorrent team, but this sounds like reason enough to upgrade to me. better safe then sorry I say.
I'm upgrading now.

EDIT:
Confirmation from a mod, same thread:

"There was some miscommunication when 1.7.6 was announced that caused the changelog for 1.7.6 to initially include 1.6.x as an affected branch (when in fact it isn't affected by that bug). The latest version (1.7.7) actually does fix a potential security flaw that has existed in µTorrent's implementation of the extension protocol since 1.4.

Which change?

- Fix: (potential) remote crash bug with extension protocol (affects all 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, 1.7, and 1.8 builds released to date)"



Time to upgrade you 1.6.1 people, or find a new client.
