uTorrent has sold out and is now owned by BitTorrent, Inc., affiliated with Paramount Pictures, 20th Century Fox, MTV, Warner Brothers. and others...
uTorrent is dead! Don't risk using it!
Anyone can easily confirm that uTorrent is in bed with those that are against the free sharing of files by merely going to the uTorrent site and looking at their Privacy Policy, which states that uTorrnet is, "...owned and operated by BitTorrent, Inc., its affiliates and subsidiaries..." If you go to the www.bittorrent.com site you will see at the bottom of the page that some of BitTorrent's affiliates and subsidiaries include; 20th Century Fox, Comedy Central, Lionsgate Films, MTV Networks, Paramount, Spike, and Warner Bros.
How more obvious can it get?
uTorrent should no longer be recommended for file sharing. In fact, it should be avoided at all costs. Only those that have a bias interest in it will say otherwise.
"The fact is... utorrent was bought out by anti-p2p interests after version 1.6.1 came out. Everything after that is highly suspect. There's not a chance in hell that an anti-p2p entity is going to buy out a client and NOT eventually incorporate some form of DRM into it. To think otherwise would be incredibly naive.
A lot of people recommend sticking to 1.6.1, but I'm not even sure that's a good idea. What would stop utorrents owners from swapping out the version of 1.6.1 on their site with a spyware version? If you own 1.6.1 from before the takeover, sure, or if you can get it from a reliable source, fine, but I wouldn't download anything from utorrent.com. Not at this point."
