utorrent 2.0 and private trackers

Still using 1.8.2/14458. I'm waiting for a few upgrades to smooth out the wrinkles, I've heard some bad things about 2.0.
 
So if uTorrent v.2 is banned on your favourite tracker, what is the best alternative to use?

I have read on uTorrent's website that there is a know exploit for v1.8+ so am not keen on using them.

Any advice?
 
alot of trackers will ban you if you use utorrent v2, i wish all the tracker would just pick up the pace and get a move on it already
 
For me it was the least buggy of the 1.8.x versions. I had issues with 1.8.3/4 so I downgraded. Perhaps the final build of 1.8.5 is ok, haven't really tried it.
 
I am running the stable revision of 2.0 (18296) with uTP disabled because it was causing some weird behavior. Everything appears smooth now. I've had a problem with net flooding or traffic shaping so having uTP turned off isn't that big of a deal.
 
I haven't yet, not whitelisted @ several of my trackers yet, and besides, given the history of the 1.7x and 1.8x series, imo it never does much harm to hold off updating utorrent for a short while.

let me hijack this thread for a second: i'd just like to know the main difference(s) between utorrent 1.8.2.0 (build 14458) and utorrent 1.8.5.0 (build 17414). it looks like many torrenters decided to stick with the 1.8.2, that's why i'm asking.

There have been a lot of changes between the versions (check the changelogs for details). Some of the changes were related to security issues found in the client that should not affect users of private trackers, if I recall correctly.

Also, I've spoken to some knowledgeable people who claim uT 1.8.5.0 sometimes reports stats incorrectly.
