uTorrent and BitTorrent join forces

@ Arimfe - There is no incopatibility with Vista for the current build.. everything works fine (seems a lil slower for whatever reason.. but nothin' really special)

@ Arimfe

Sorry, meant v1.6. Remembered it wrong, but the point was that there really is no reason to upgrade to a dubious, compromised version from the current, well working version. Especially if Cohen strikes more deals with RIAA and the like.

Good for the guy who created it and got his due pay.. bad for the best client out there (imho)

It has been sold to the devil.

@Wordplay
Then I guess that version is safe for testing then. I was just curious if there was some 1.5 vs 1.6 scandal or something I missed

If it still "works" then that's good of course. But I can still understand those who are trying out the other clients already now. It's not just the new OS, there's also the rest of the "ecosystem" of a torrent application that's playing in the "buggame". Things like anti-virus, firewall or other apps that traffics or measures the network, they are MANY and there will be tons of these which will continue to develop, they will have new versions with enhanced features -> new bugs and so on. The dangers are many for a torrent client standing still while its ecosystem continually change.

Well at least now someone else might step up and make another new, better client.

[Radiosity]

...and then a year down the road they'll be taken over by the suits as well, and the cycle repeats.

That's up to the different tracker admins. I'm sure most don't mind older clients but there are some who does ban clients they don't like for whatever reasons.

Is it me... Or do the current v1.6 now generates a popup messagebox when you started utorrent .. saying that its a free version yadda yadda ... Never had that messagebox before o_O .. I didnt update it .. uncheck the check for update version checkbox long ago.

Looks like a new client is needed after all

Hmmm...that's odd. I have V1.6 up now and haven't received any "pop-ups". Can you screen cap the pop-up and post it here? It might be good for future reference if more people ask. Thanks.

[KiNA]

The popup .. It seems harmless caution, but it never shows up before


The current version I'm using .. built 474

[Radiosity]

Weird indeed, I'm using that version too and haven't had any popups either. When did you download it? Recently? Or a while ago?

edit: I've had this current version for a few months now, more or less since it was released, so I haven't downloaded a recent version of the 474 build.

[Ending]

Same as above. 474 build and no pop-ups. Someone needs to run a virus-scan ASAP and terminate unnecessary tasks in the background...

[Arimfe]

Inbou!!!!!!
Conspiracy theories ftw!

You can check whether they made any "silent updates".
Download a new utorrent.exe to somewhere else on your computer. Put both of them into their own zip/rar file with winrar. Then you can match their crc32 against each other:

If they made any silent updates then lol at them, and host your copy of that build somewhere for me.

Hi all, figured I would post something a bit more positive in this thread
below is a link to the µ skins page...I put together a Bleach toolbar with chibi characters from the show...feel free to download it and use it
I run a blue desktop theme so it will depend on your theme as to what the background will be, the toolbar is just the buttons- here's a pic...I did it because there was nothing for Bleach or anything anime oriented on the µ skins page...

Spoiler for For size pic of toolbar:

And you think posting it in a 2 years old thread was a wise move ? Epic necromancy here.. way to go. (not)

[Mitsuomi1971]

Thanks for the positive response...not

I was told to post it here by Monir, it is not really a topic but something to share...but I appreciate your effort to be clever and witty.
