Yep, I actually still use 1.6..before BitTorrent bought em up.

2.2.1 was last good...

I can handle ads for torrents on the side.....As long as it's spyware-free, I'll continue to use uTorrent. IF, by any chance, uTorrent starts bombarding me with targeted 3rd party ads unrelated to torrents, then I'll make the switch.

The main problem, ivymike, is that folks have already reported DNS-changing malware hiding in these ads. No freakin' sale.

Recent versions of uTorrent have already gone down the Azureus/Vuze rabbit-hole of bloat; there's absolutely no reason to continue to use uTorrent's newest versions.

This kind of crap is exactly what everyone was afraid of, when BitTorrent bought uTorrent.
