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).

    • Still using Classic Outlook? Microsoft highlights 15 reasons to switch to New Outlook

      By +seb5150 · Posted

      Calendar management with the new Outlook is horrendous! Things I can do in one or two clicks in classic take 4-5 in the new version. Sometimes I can't even find the same options I had in classic.
    • 10 games join Xbox Free Play Days this weekend

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      10 games join Xbox Free Play Days this weekend by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Another Free Play Days offer has just landed, and this one is a unique one. On top of offering 10 games to jump into for Xbox players, all the titles are from a single publisher: No More Robots. The promotion has games like Little Rocket Lab, Spirittea, Descenders Next, Let's Build a Zoo, and much more. Almost every game in the selection does need an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, Premium, or Essential subscription, so keep this in mind when browsing. Many of the titles are Xbox Play Anywhere titles though, so both Xbox console and PC players can jump in. Here's how the announcement blog post described some of the available titles: There is one game that's available to all Xbox players without the need for any subscriptions, which is Descenders. Here are the announced games and the platforms they are available to play on: Little Rocket Lab (Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC) Spirittea (Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC) Soccer Story (Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC) Descenders Next (Game Preview) (Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC) Let's Build a Zoo (Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC) Hypnospace Outlaw (Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC) Slayers X: Terminal Aftermath: Vengance of the Slayer (Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC) Nowhere Prophet (Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC) Family Man (Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One) Descenders (Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC) To easily find the titles on Xbox consoles, first head to the Store, then in the sidebar, find the Home section. In there, open the Subscriptions tab. The Free Play Days collection will show up in this area. This week's Free Play Days promotions will end on Sunday, June 7, at 11:59 pm PT.

      It STILL has horrid theme support. Hard to look at for me. The white is too bright, and the black too dark. I'm using classic outlook for the Dark Grey theme. It's just right for me.
