[BT] uTorrent Releases

Is anyone running uTorrent later than 25203 ? That build may be a bit of a Dino but I see no redeeming reason to upgrade.

I see there are plenty of new releases in the 3.0 family - bloat ?

I'm running 25154.

Tried some of the v3 releases and didn't like 'em---too much junk. I like my utorrent lean and small.

Agreed, even some of the later 2.2 x RC's were bloat.
I must give the uTorrent Devs kudos for adding apps to attract a wider spectrum of users - but it adds bloat.

Sucking bags of bandwidth is not conducive to a larger P2P
app.

I'm still running 1.8.5 (17414) and it runs great. No bells or whistle, just plain torrenting.

This topic comes up from time to time ( from me occasionally ).

I recommend 1.8.5 over 1.6.1 because it has a few improvements and security fixes if memory serves me correct.

utorrent 3 is atrocious.

I just uninstalled 3.x and am running 2.2.1 again.
now i'm shopping for a proxy service to keep the
TWCable screen/throttle goon squad off my back.
