µTorrent v1.6.1 Build 489

Reviewer: DudeBoyz Feb 15, 2007
Version: 1.6.1 Build 490

Utorrent 1.6 Standard, the last final build, was done before the company was purchased and the new code written. That version should be safe I believe and is still an excellent client.

The fact that Utorrent is now owned and being updated by people that have signed agreements with the RIAA and MPAA and NOT the original programmer, should give anybody pause.

If you wish to use Utorrent, I'd simply say stay with the 1.6 Standard final version and do not use anything after that release.

I for one do not wish to support ANY effort by someone so chummy with the RIAA and MPAA, period. I don't see why anybody would want to, especially with the original author no longer coding the program. He cashed out and he's done. Whatever happens from this point forward is no longer something he's involved in, I believe.

If the RIAA and MPAA can't kill 'em, they buy 'em and reprogram them. Bearshare, Utorrent, what's next? They are letting their money do the fighting for them and have ruined what was a fantastic product. Too bad it wasn't made Open Source so someone could continue on the work in the right way.

The backlash against Utorrent is not FUD. Simply looking at who bought the program and who is now updating the code should be enough to convince anybody that the Utorrent we knew is gone. 1.6 Standard is the last REAL version of Utorrent. Anything after that is suspect.

Version 3 does not allow you to see or select files until after the download starts. V2.2.1 build 25249 does and I had to get the old version from a different site because this site seems to default to version 3 regardless of what version you want.

µTorrent v2.0 build 17875 RC 4

if there ever was a ratio of CPU footprint to usefulness/effective/impact, uTorrent would win that contest with ANY application. It has the footprint of Notepad, yet it has all the features and the ability of a 3 old videostores ...combined!
