Remove uTorrent’s Search Box

A lot of uTorrent posts lately. This time a little trick to make the search box disappear. Some people love the search box and add some extra sites to it, others hate it. Here’s what you need to do if you want to get rid of it.

OiNK.me.uk temporarily offline

Oink.me.uk is having some serious problems with their server. Both the site and the tracker are offline for a least a day.
They try to get it fixed as soon as possible, but data will be lost. The user data and the torrents are gone and they are forced to upload some older backups. The user data backup is quite recent, however the torrent backup is from December 30th.
