![]() 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. Whatever happens from this point forward is no longer something he's involved in, I believe. Seeding means sharing a file (s) with other peers. If the RIAA and MPAA can't kill 'em, they buy 'em and reprogram them. After a torrent job finishes downloading, you are highly encouraged to leave the torrent job seeding. Turning off seeding will not change a thing. Once a torrent has finished downloading then remove the torrent from the uTorrent queue. Although the length of time that you should leave the file seeding is not defined, it is recommended that you share until the amount of data you upload reaches at least the same as the amount. Downloading or uploading both connect you to the swarm and will get you a notice/letter if your IP gets logged. Get a VPN, some are cheaper than seedboxes. and since you say you dont torrent much, a VPN would be the best option. Be sure to keep the data of the torrent and only remove the torrent itself. uTorrent’s preferences allow you to set the maximum upload speed to 1kbps. This won’t stop torrent seeding but reduces the upload speed to almost nothing. 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.
