From the link, I got that the µTorrent's parent company "cooperated" with the MPAA by removing certain links from their website. I don't see anywhere where it is said that the MPAA now owns µTorrent or BitTorrent Inc.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Utorrent-bought-by-MPAA-18763304 Sat, 28 Jul 2007 05:06:20 EDT Re: Utorrent bought by MPAA http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Utorrent-bought-by-MPAA-18762819 btw i did not use 4 different client, only 3 and that's probably already too complicated for most ppl
i think u use utorrent exclusive thats why u have no ideas what i'm talking about. i've used many other clients as well ya know but they just keep perishing like torrentstorm, abc etc.. so many experiments not one client is perfect. why so many client you say? well i like flexibility, and because each client has its weakness and strength. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Utorrent-bought-by-MPAA-18762819 Sat, 28 Jul 2007 01:38:00 EDT Re: Utorrent bought by MPAA http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Utorrent-bought-by-MPAA-18762366
Of course you're going to get some rollbacks if you download the file from Client A and then hashcheck it on Client B. The most I've ever experienced with uTorrent is that it rolls my 100% completed file to 99.7%. Wow.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Utorrent-bought-by-MPAA-18762366 Fri, 27 Jul 2007 23:49:02 EDT Re: Utorrent bought by MPAA http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Utorrent-bought-by-MPAA-18756851 if ur just using utorrent exclusively u will have clue of what i am talking about
if u use utorrent,azur,bittornado,bitcomet
u will find that utorrent is incompatible with other client when resuming an incomplete file
so in order to use utorrent, u have to download from scratch
otherwise it will mess up your incomplete file
azur has a feature that if it's bitcomet incomplete file it will fix a few bytes so you get the full percentage
with bittornado you lose a few percentage but not a big deal
ex. at 80% incomplete from bitcomet going to bittornado, it will drop to 78%

i'm sorry if this is too complicated for you but i have explain it as best i can.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Utorrent-bought-by-MPAA-18756851 Fri, 27 Jul 2007 09:29:11 EDT Re: Utorrent bought by MPAA http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Utorrent-bought-by-MPAA-18751927 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Utorrent-bought-by-MPAA-18751927 Thu, 26 Jul 2007 15:07:50 EDT Re: Utorrent bought by MPAA http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Utorrent-bought-by-MPAA-18751913 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Utorrent-bought-by-MPAA-18751913 Thu, 26 Jul 2007 15:06:36 EDT Re: Utorrent bought by MPAA http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Utorrent-bought-by-MPAA-18751739 it's evil the creator is mpaa,riaa

serious problems with utorrent..
when rehash from an incomplete from bitcomet or bittornado
the percent download drop in half! wtf???
then when i rehash again with bitcomet or bittornado
it remain that way
ex i download at 50percent..with bitcomet,bittornado
rehashing again with utorrent
drop to 25 percent...it's evil and not flexible designed to frustrat u has hidden flaws bad bad bad client, i rarely use and today will not be using it at all.
this happens with any torrent as i have experienced]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Utorrent-bought-by-MPAA-18751739 Thu, 26 Jul 2007 14:43:45 EDT Re: Utorrent bought by MPAA http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Utorrent-bought-by-MPAA-18751707 meganova.org

Is there a client patch that can change the client info sent to the tracker? I really love the speeds i get with utorrent.

Azureus I hate it's takes way to much ram. Also with azureus I have a hard time surfing while running torrents with utorrent and bitcomet I never have that issue.

I think utorrent will still be safe but being as you can run it without a install it's prefect for movie downloads you click a file and boom the program loads up and your torrent starts.

Also how does this bit torrent paying shit work? Do you download a DRM movie or whatever file and use your own bandwidth to give it to other people?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Utorrent-bought-by-MPAA-18737141 Tue, 24 Jul 2007 13:14:45 EDT Re: Utorrent bought by MPAA http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Utorrent-bought-by-MPAA-18736969 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Utorrent-bought-by-MPAA-18736969 Tue, 24 Jul 2007 12:45:12 EDT Re: Utorrent bought by MPAA http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Utorrent-bought-by-MPAA-18736792 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Utorrent-bought-by-MPAA-18736792 Tue, 24 Jul 2007 12:13:54 EDT Re: Utorrent bought by MPAA http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Utorrent-bought-by-MPAA-18736008

See, if you never download illegal stuff with uT, which was not its programmed use anyways, then you won't have to worry. But apparently you do and you panic. Either live with it, downgrade to 1.6, switch to a different BT client, or don't download at all. Because you get the same type of risks as long as you BitTorrent.

If they catch you, the worst that can happen is they send you a threat letter full of lawyer lingo that you can kindly put in the paper shredder. Seriously, you probably have a better chance of winning the lottery than getting sued at this rate.

PS - You shouldn't read everything on the internet and believe it. A lot of these articles are misinformed about how since uT and BT joined forces that the program started sending data to unwanted places, which is baloney.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Utorrent-bought-by-MPAA-18728615 Mon, 23 Jul 2007 09:41:16 EDT Re: Utorrent bought by MPAA http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Utorrent-bought-by-MPAA-18728469 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Utorrent-bought-by-MPAA-18728469 Mon, 23 Jul 2007 08:59:07 EDT Utorrent bought by MPAA http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Utorrent-bought-by-MPAA-18728335
