µTorrent 2.2.1 Build 25203

Rated 10/50 by bigmama at Jan 17, 2008

This program was a very good torrent downloader long time ago. after the buyout, it's totally unstable, big memory consumption with many memory leaks, a lot of bugs, and spyware and malware tools of RIAA are integrated in....................

Actually for not even being a beta this is one of the best software out there. It has improved dramatically startup speed, close down speed, download speed and everything else period. I mean at the end of the day everything turns into a for profit, spyware, monitoring everything we do, everyone with a ,computer these days are being tracked somehow period, unless you don't use internet, seriously everything i mean every company has these anonymous user statistics for better software improvement and I believe them but they are tracking period, just stop it we need them to track how we use the software and what we download so they can troubleshoot and of course sue us

Haha bigmama go back to the Azureus page and kiss its a** some more. I guess being a fan of Azureus you'd know first hand about memory consumption. LOL and nobody cares about the RIAA RUMORS idiots like you like to spread, give it up. Still hate the direction the interface is taking, but it's still a good program nonetheless. 2/5 for 1.8 alpha 4/5 for utorrent 1.7.6 stable

this now sux a** where it was great before bittorrent bought it out now uTorrent sold out to a sell out. nice huh. aking, azureus isnt the best but its better than using a torrent made by a company who watches your every move. a sell out like bittorrent who was made famous by illegal has no right to play god. halite and deluge r better than azureus and now better than uTorrent. sorry meant to hit 1 tho 0 wouldve been a better rating

Using 1.76 stable because most forums blocks 1.75 I had a problem with running other things on my computer (internet browsers IE6 and Flock 0.915 were very slow, external harddisk did not show up) when 1.75 was in use, but with 1.76 that problem is solved. I not a expert to tell you why this problem apeard but ok it is solved. There are forums who are suggesting that uTorrent is not safe anymore and you should consider to switch to Azureus

By far the best Torrent-Client around !!! Why do fools like "MattLee" always comment things which they absolutely don't understand ??? What did the Beatles say : Let it be !!!

Rated 50/50 by yassgo at Jan 29, 2008

I agree with Matt Lee about Deluge which is one of the best torrent client. Halite is at his beggining and remember me the birth of µtorrent. BUT don't review µtorrent because for you this one or this one is better. µTorrent is actually the best because of its features and still sooooo light...When the FBI will come to my house then maybe I will change my mind about this software. Most private trackers I use are fully compatible with any µtorrent version !! like crappy Java Azureus, Halite and Deluge ! But for those looking for a similiar software, I think Deluge is not too far !!

This is probably a good program, but why are there always alpha/beta-versions that's out, and not full, proper versions? One thing that also bothers me is that this program strangles your Internet Connection, even if you are not downloading/uploading anything.

Rated 50/50 by dynospectrum at Feb 20, 2008

lysaker: There are stable versions out for you to use if you don't like using alpha or beta builds. v1.7.7 is the latest stable version.

Best BitTorrent client available. There are a few bugs, since this is an alpha, but things seem to be shaping up nicely. As for those who complain that there is a back door in the program (this is false!), the only thing the program does is check for updates - if you have that option enabled. I've logged and gone through all my uTorrent firewall packets for over a week. This is a safe program and is does a very good job.

Perfect ! Don't listen to the gabbiness of "bigmama" (not the first time, but his name says everything) !!!

Rated 50/50 by fatray at Feb 25, 2008

Why would you use any other client?

Rated 10/50 by bigmama at Feb 25, 2008

Because I hate spyware. That's why... Utorrent was the Best. Now it's rubbish. Pay attention users. It's a spyware application by RIAA. Also full of bugs and memory leaks. It has not many preferences to tweak it like azureus. If you compare it with azureus ;blue frog is the winner in both speed and features. Azureus is also stable as a rock and rocks. Stay away from utorrent folks...

Rated 40/50 by echohead at Feb 27, 2008

personally i prefer open-source Halite (http://www.binarynotions...alite-bittorrent-client) but utorrent is still a decent client. im taking a point away from it because of possible RIAA/MPAA ties, and because i have little or no use for the newer features theyve added. still beats azureus hands-down...then again any program would be better than its java-based alternative keep up the bugfixes though.

Note for people using this software. most torrent sites will not allow you to download with any version of utorrent that is 1.7 and up. im still using 1.6 due to the RIAA concerns. good software th its in the wrong hands now. PS @tatool if you going to rant on someone learn to speak better english before doing so or you will embarass yourself but do it in the proper place and not in a review

Saying "most" torrent sites have these newer uTorrent versions banned is either a bald-faced lie or a product of unforgivable ignorance. Every single major public tracker I'm aware of allows these later versions of uTorrent and the majority of these tend to be populated mostly BY the later versions of uTorrent. Then there's private trackers, which can be a bit more murky. However, ALL of the best, largest private trackers (like HDBits) allow the latest versions of uTorrent and, ironically, have actually banned OLDER versions of uTorrent because: 1. The older versions have a major remote crash exploit vulnerability that's been fixed in 1.7.7 2. The older versions (mostly 1.5 and 1.6) have been modified by l33t hax0rz into lame-ass, compromised packages traded around on warez sites with little to no code scrutiny where they are used to send false information to trackers in an effort to cheat and get faster download speed, thus slowing down everyone else in the swarms they're used in. 3. THESE are far, far more suspect than the latest official versions are as far as malware. There is no evidence whatsoever that uTorrent is sending uniquely identifiable data to any organization, especially not the RIAA. The kiddies keep making these claims, but have so far presented absolutely NO evidence supporting their conspiracy theories, and are most likely complaining because they LIKE using their cheater leech software to the detriment of others and are pissy because the modified versions are being banned. Honestly, guys, it's time to put this BS to bed. It's gotten really, really tiresome and you're just embarrassing yourselves. These alpha versions are fairly mature (for alphas) and pretty darned quick. Of course, they better be considering how long 1.8 has been in development. Hopefully not much farther to go to final release!
