Quite a few private torrent sites might ban this build. 488 supposedly can report back usage etc (code is in there, not sure if it is activtated) since it was taken over by bittorrent.

uTorrent is just going to go down hill now, as Azureus has. Shame... but I'll stick with the older 1.6 thanks.

Care to back up your FUD with evidence? didn't think so...

how is uTorrent associated with the RIAA or MPAA?

God, some people are so narrow minded.

Isn't ?Torrent associated with BitTorrent? Isn't BitTorrent associated with a big movie studio? Isn't that big movie studio associated with the MPAA?

Just asking questions here, but the transitive property dictates that if all those conditions are met, then ?Torrent is associated with the MPAA.

I believe that a few months ago, BitTorrent "obtained" uTorrent. Some people haven't updated since, as they are worried about BitTorrents association with the MPAA/RIAA, and also about uTorrent being made rather bloated.

Bittorrent Inc now owns ?Torrent, yes, and Bittorrent Inc has done deals with the MPAA to distribute films legally such as on embedded devices (think of a Pay-per-view PVR that you download the movies on demand instead of renting the movie or waiting for it to come on the PPV channels) and to remove warez from Bittorrent inc's torreSEARCH ENGINE/b> however that's hardly "OMG ?Torrent HAS MPAA SPYWARE AWAHHHHHHHHHHHH" mentality of the other posts. In any case, it's an indirect relationship.

The whole reason Bittorrent inc. bought ?Torrent was exactly because it's small and efficient and is a whole lot less clunky than their FOSS example client.

You should really know about what you're posting before you post it.

...and quit contradicting yourself in the process.

MrCobra, M2Ys4U is correct in stating that uTorrent isn't associated with MPAA/RIAA. It's associated with BitTorrent Inc.

You could argue that there is an indirect relationship, but as some of the more grounded people in this thread have argued there isn't anything to worry about *yet* with uTorrent, and Brahm isn't stupid. He knows as soon as he adds any sort of "call home" feature, someone will find it (firewall/packet monitoring) and it will be posted all over the web before you can say RIAA. (This is even more supported by the questions he answered when this 'takeover' happened months ago).

    • Apple reluctantly forces strict new age checks on Texas users starting today

      By zikalify · Posted

      Apple reluctantly forces strict new age checks on Texas users starting today by Paul Hill Apple will begin enforcing the Texas Age Assurance Law (SB 2420) following a recent court ruling that lifted an injunction on SB 2420. Starting June 4 (today), Apple will enforce strict age-verification and parental-consent rules for new Apple accounts created in Texas. This move will affect children under 18 who go to download apps or attempt to make in-app purchases. Apple previously expressed privacy concerns related to this law, but compliance is now mandatory for the company, nevertheless. Apple will use several APIs to follow the law. Principally, the Declared Age Range API will fetch the specific user age bracket (Under 13, 13-15, 16-17, or 18+) and a verification method. The Significant Change API (PermissionKit) will trigger a system dialog for parental consent if an app gets a major update or an age-rating shift. There is also a new property type in StoreKit that allows developers to automatically check when their app’s age rating has changed on a user’s device and then use the Significant Change API to request parental consent. Finally, App Store Server Notifications can be configured to tell developers when a parent revokes consent, blocking app launches. To ensure they are ready for these changes, developers must immediately use Apple’s sandbox testing environment to validate these APIs in their apps. For any developers out there finding this to be inconvenient, get used to it. Other regions, such as Utah, Louisiana, and Brazil, are looking at, or have implemented, similar rules.
