Best Utorrent Version


fugitiv3

Recommended Posts

hello guys.. I have searched the forum but it seems that I cannot find an answer for my question.. If this thread has been re-posted please delete this and give me the link to the other.

So I am using the latest Utorrent (3.x.x).. but it seems that a lot of people argue that the best version to use is 2.2.1 or 2.0.4.

Can you please tell me which is the best STABLE version + Build of utorrent that can be used in private trackers?

My advice would be to ditch utorrent altogether and go for qbittorrent. More stable and faster for me. Tried it once and never looked back. :)

To answer your question directly, I've also heard people saying use version 2.2.1, but also 1.8 (the one before the big sell-out). It really makes no perceptible difference in performance, though (at least none that I've been able to detect). I do like the 1.8 version the most, because it has none of the bullshit features they've implemented into utorrent later on.

Hope this helps! ;)

I will also agree with Alanon, that the best version would 2.2.1 or earlier. But it will advisable to use 2.2.1, it doesn't have any ads or other craps implemented.

Actually, a lot of good changes have been made since then. Unfortunately, I've only seen those changes effect negatively. :s

So you were using utorrent and then went to qbittorent and stayed with it?

Yes. Using qBittorrent since then. uTorrent may seem professional, but I don't like it anymore after I switched to qBittorrent.

qBittorrent, no doubt! I also switched from uTorrent.

qBittorrent is simple, fast and very stable. :)

What exactly do you mean? :)

In qBittorrent, in status bar, next to DHT: xyz nodes, you will see a small globe, if it's red, the port isn't forwarded, if it's yellow, it's is forwarded, but having problems, and if it's green, it's forwarded properly.

As for doing port forwarding in qBittorrent. Tools menu > Options > Connection > Port used for incoming connections > enter the port you want.

It's been a really long time since I downloaded anything from a private tracker. But from what I know, private tracker's torrents themselves have DHT, PEX, LSD disabled.

Thanks for the info!

LSD? what is this?

Also I got version 3.0.6 but on their website is still version 3.0.5 ... Is 3.0.6 valid?

uTorrent calls it Local something... qBittorrent calls it LSD. It's below DHT and PEX.

Yes, 3.0.6 is the latest.

I'm gonna upgrade to Windows 8 today or tomorrow, until then, I cannot say for sure. But why does it need to support Windows 8 specifically? It can run on any current Windows system, from XP to 7, then why not 8? I think it should be fine.

Go into

http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/feature-packs

Put a valid email adress.. after 24-48 hours you will get a key..

Install "Windows 8 Pro With Media Center" version...

Apply the key.. and you will get Activated...

Thats what I did and it worked!

p.s The "Windows 8 Pro With Media Center" version I have found it in "Windows 8 AIO 16in1" iso file which I have downloaded!

Good luck!
