I believe so yes. I have had troubles with utorrent crashing my wireless connection quite frequently,and when I closed the program I kept having ghostversions of utorrent running. The only way to remove them was pressing the power button on my HD.

I also have expirienced that utorrent recieves a tracker message from the TTD tracker saying "tracker sending invalid data null" on my uploads and shares,and still people have been able to download from me.
However TTD tracker is the only one which this happens to.

That is a common message if you are seeding over your quota of ten shows or if you are seeding via DHT which bypasses the tracker.

Re: Critical Vulnerability Discovered in uTorrent

For Direwolf: I dont have a link per se. I just googled "Utorrent 1.8 sucks'' because thats how I felt at the time. Then I chose from the headings that suited the situation the best. There was a discussion going on at the time about the general displeasure of the upgrade and there was a cross section of folks who were having the same issues I was and some others who felt the upgrade worked the same as their old client. Mine seems ok now although it seems to take longer to get up the steam and the ul speed is lower than I'd like it. I guess Im kind of a dummy when it comes to configuring and such. But initally at least, 1.8 was a clusterfuck for my PC.

Thanks Lynn,I must have been sharing to many torrents at once I believe.

I installed the new utorrent 1.8 but it keeps crashing my connection.
Also every time I reboot my firewall (Norman) says there is a new version of utorrent which not have been used before,so I dont think utorrent have solved all the bugs in the new version.

I am giving Azereuz a go again,however I have problems with my upload speed on their latest version.

Any good suggestions out there for an alternative reliable client?

I'm a mac user, so I can't really suggest anything. I've always suggested uTorrent for PC users since it was such a stable reliable client. I'm not sure what to recommend at the moment though. I use Azureus and am happy with it. If you are having issues with your upload speeds on Azureus, you might want to look through the settings tab and see if something is set incorrectly.

Thanks,yes I was a happy user of Azeruze for quite some time,until one of their upgrades slowed down my upload speed drasticly,so I switched to utorrent which gave me a way better upload speed.

I'll have a go at trying to edit the Azereuz settings. Its a quite complicated set up on it,however its got the advantage to block certain IP's,in particular the bad sharers;-)

Azureus has a strange problem on Vista. The listen on the UDP port fails, because the port is being used by another program. Not so. I haven't found any explanation.

Re: Critical Vulnerability Discovered in uTorrent

Hi There,
Just to say on this U Torent Businss. Everytime I Get Prompted By My U Torrent To UPgrade To The New Version. When I start downlading the new U Torrent I immediately get a McAfee Virus Alert for the latest Virus Of The Week. Everytime it has happened never the same virus always a newer Virus. But when I download from C Net I have no trouble at all. It`s almost like someone is virusing the U Torrent site ????.

Re: Critical Vulnerability Discovered in uTorrent

you should run a full scan punkyp.

I have noticed (and its on utorrent troubleshooting page) the disk cache can really suck up system memory - if seeding at heavy speeds.

if you goto prefs>advance>turn off disk read/write cache - the memory issue goes away.

Re: Critical Vulnerability Discovered in uTorrent

Hmm... a couple of bits about that, from the µTorrent forum..."For those with "HTTP 400" error or completely non-working RSS, that is a problem with NOD32. Please disable IMON or upgrade to 3.x........."
Now, I think allowing µTorrent under exclusion may also work...

open nod32 and select IMON and then SETUP

Select MESCELLANEOUS and then EDIT under the header EXCLUSION

Select ADD and select utorrent.exe file, the one you use to open the program and the select OPEN

Click Ok and then OK again

There is also available µTorrent 1.8.1 Beta Build 11903 (Selecting the "See list of changes" will get you the announcement page for the Beta)
