From the looks of it, uTorrent is going down the drain. Such a nice and lightweight program it was.

wat, no, no, it can't b true, no!!!!!

so nebody have ne new torrent prog?

I dont really understand what they saying... can you break this down into simpler terms for me please.. give me the long story short.

Short........uTorrent is now purchased by a company. They're going to be under the watchful eyes of said company, meaning they are blocking certain stuff that you could get easily. Basically - agan - let's say that RIAA purchased them. Easiest way to put it. Like when NAPSTER went offline.

Well I dont see that forum's thread being older than April... so how do you know if its a recent thing or its going to happen?

noooooo just when i switched to utorrent from bitcomet

BitTorrent is a nice one to use. it look just the same as utorrent. in fact from ever since its always looked like utorrent..

i still use bitcomet, a lot of people hate it but it works for me. infact i never use utorrent. its too simple and a lot of the options in bitcomet i dont see in utorrent

I've downloaded uTorrent and been testing it recently. I haven't seen anything in there that shows signs of sending info back to the company. Unless there's some other method they're using, I'm not seeing any anonymous sending. With AZUREUS, I've seen the program try to send e-mails in the background - one reason I'm not using it anymore - and uTorrent seems clean so far. I'll do some more research and post my findings.

@MALLOCX - What features are you talking about tho? Lemme know. uTorrent seems rather robust for it's small size. The original BIT-TORRENT program is very good, but I haven't checked it out recently to see all its features.

I had no idea Azureus would send emails... Im glad I had switched to uTorrent long ago.
But the program seems to be working just kine.

But once you see any funny stuff going on in the background, let us all know ASAP!!!!

i hated that utorrent when i'm downloading games, movies, and such

it took forever just to download 2mb

deluge (http://deluge-torrent.org/) is what i use.. because i'm a linux man.. :p.. deluge (http://deluge-torrent.org/) was originally created for the ubuntu desktop environment but as usual all great linux apps get ported to windows.. its very nice. has some pretty cool features. love the look.
