Well obviously this isn't something you can pay an exorbitant monthly fee to get out of...

Actually, he's right... uTorrent contacts that host after installation to get some peers and bootstrap the DHT.

The dev team at utorrent.com has proclaimed the release of a new final uTorrent 2.0 version. It is the first stable (non-RC, non-beta) release from the time of uTorrent v2.0 development which began again in August. The most popular BitTorrent client in the world has suffered some important changes; including UDP tracker support & auto-uTP, transfer cap settings, an enhanced setup guide, new shiny skin and bandwidth management.
The least you could do is cite the source when you copy and paste something :dry:

Also, One thing I was curious of:
I remember reading this article here: http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/f-ne...nate-the-need-for-isp-throttling-375275/page2 , and in many places UT 2.0 was very poorly received for the many connotations that there would be heavy throttling to accommodate this new fangled "uTP" feature. However, it seems like that has mostly subdued now. Did they change something or alter their plan from what was originally said in that article? I haven't upgraded yet for this reason.

All this uT crap started back at 1.6.1
I also faced it as a scare tactic to force upgrades to the newer versions.
As I read on the webz, there was a lot of coliding views on those same nasty rumours, so I couldn't be arsed and moved on to Vuze until today.
It is heavy, but it easily has more features than any other client I know of.
Utorrent 2.0 isn't seducing me yet, so let's wait until the dust settles to make a valid opinion.

TCP traffic is easy to inspect and throttle accordingly because due to its "safe" nature, shaping devices can clearly see when a connection is initiated, the handshake, and "take it from there".
UDP, in turn, is unreliable - you simply start throwing data to the remote host and hope he'll receive it correctly, because there's no error control at the protocol level. (Although it works fine in practice, actually) ISPs can't throttle uTP without also affecting all other UDP network traffic (VoIP, online gaming, etc.). Nobody will want to pay for a provider that won't even let you talk or play games.
"It looks"? Meaning they aren't even sure what they're saying is true? :huh:
It's easy to remove them (or at least most of them) by unpacking the executable and using a hex-editor. so I'm still using it

That transfer cap could be extremely useful for all other fellow comcast users.
I'm going to cap my torrent machine at 200gb a month so they don't shut down my service lol.
I usually just keep track by keeping rough estimates. I have been doing most of my seeding off my seedbox recently anyway though...

I can see this going three ways,
1). Some Sites will ban UT2 and allow and encourage earlier models of Utorrent to 1.6
2).Others more likely the bigger sites will allow UT2 and put pressure on other clients to update to UTP or risk banning their clients.
3).Others will allow,who gives a fook allow everything we not here to shape BT future we are here for the cash
Could be a number 4--if we had a coder we'd have a allowed list
Time will tell.

Took the easy exit, huh :lol:
But I agree. Vuze is a great, very tweakable client. And while it's not a feather like uTorrent when it comes to resource usage, you won't feel it's there with enough RAM and a decent processor.
1.7.7 was the first release that the mpaa venture with utorrent was built and didn't phone home any packets.Nor did the 1.8.# builds.
This still was a very dark time in utorrent history,
with many peeps opting for other clients.It was a pity such clients as Halite didn't step up as utorrent would have lost a lot more peeps.
anon-sbi proof of the new ut2 build favoring its own will come to light when uppers when you see ut2 being the upper(only seeder) on a box it will give to other ut2 clients others clients will find it hard to connect to the seeder and other ut2 peers.
Not sure how to give you your proof, but get someone to connect on a linux box rtorrent or transmission under those conditions and see how you go.

I'm not exactly sure if you understood my post, but I meant throttling from utorrent's side, not the ISP's.
Here was a quote from the article that made many others (and me) wary of this new version:
Have these issues been addressed in someway that decreased the uproar over 2.0? I don't really see anyone complaining about this anymore.
And as a side note, Morris mentions that it's "only the upload" that will be affected. If the upload is throttled, doesn't that ultimately lead to slower download speeds as well?

First, let me answer the claims:
1. No, you're not safe in a private tracker; that's another misconception of people who have no idea what they're talking about. Now, if you would've actually known what you were talking about, you would know that DHT is a client-side protocol that has nothing to do with the tracker being private or not.
The only thing private sites can do is turn on the private flag in torrent files and count on the clients to respect that by turning off DHT, peer exchange and local peer discovery. Once they do, it's totally up to the client to respect (or not) that flag. In fact, the uT version I've specified above did NOT respect the private flag and multicasted info hashes to organization-local addresses. By the way, another client (BitComet) was banned from various private sites for disregarding the privacy bit.
2. While info is available for harvesting on public trackers, it is not fed with a spoon to the MPAA.
Oh, and since you were nice enough to comment on my knowledge of the subject, may I suggest that in the future, you actually try to read that DHT draft before posting mindless spam..
That's one possible solution for people who know about this issue. Most people are not aware of it.
Agreed. Halite is the great, fast and lightweight client no one seems to use. :wacko:
If you have access to a seedbox running uT 2.0 I guess you could send me an screenshot of a peerlist when uTorrent favors others of its kind. Of course, to be 100% sure I'd need to check it out myself, and I don't have a box
