Here is the post i made on utorrent's fourm http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?pid=270139

I just looked at that and them files that it downloads seems to do nothing about creating a list of blocked files.

i cant get the ipfilter updater to work anymoore...........why?

you can modify it to grab lists that you want.

This is the code inside the update MS-Batch file,(right click and edit it will open with notepad) You can modify it to download the nipfilter or the pipfilter.dat.gz



****************************************************

This is a quick mod, but I think it will work, be sure to look at our Blocklists FAQ before using the pipfilter.dat.gz to see what lists are all in it, It is all lists.

I just wanted to ask - Is uTorrent still safe to use? I am currently using the old version of the client 1.6 before it was bought out by Bittorentinc. I want to upgrade to the latest build though. Is uTorrent OK now?

I think so. I've been using the 1.8 betas as they came out and it's looking good to me.

Anyone else got an opinion?

I remember people saying that utorrent could have a backdoor since it's closed source? or something and it wasn't safe to use the newer versions as it was brought out by Bittorrent inc.

Yeah I still use the 1.6 version too, that still works fine except if you use some private sites they may force you to upgrade..

Hopefully with so many users someone has reverse engineered ut by now in their spare time to check out the back door theory.

The latest version of "azureus now called vuze" looks a lot better though than anything else and if you are security conscious like you should be then it's really the only option: http://azureus.sourceforge.net/

Hello Moore (pleased to "meet" you), everybody !



--> Be careful, Vuze installs the bad ASK TOOLBAR by default...



Regards,

Thanks for pointing it out WawaSeb..

Ok so vuze doesn't look so good now

Hate it when people go and wreck an otherwise good program with spyware toolbars.
