For the utorrent community in particular to be plagued by saturation advertising is (to me) a betrayal of the users and not the other way around. Demonoid falls into this category as well.

Perhaps word of mouth will pick up on Tixati and someone will tell me what it means. I’m using it now without being a torrents wizard and concerned more about archiving content..

Whether the utorrent gang is complaining about losing users I don’t know. What I do know is that in answering their help questions they can be pedantic to the point hardly answering sensibly at all.

This came up with the utorrent program attaching a file extension to .torrent files so that nothing works. I never did find a good answer for a fix. It’s a user setting but this file change thing started to happen without my knowingly making any program changes after a long period of use.

Also Tixati looks fantastic, think I’ll be using this from now on instead of utorrent.

It’s their choice whether they want to do this or not, but what I can’t stand is when developers refuse to accept the consequences of them putting ads and blame the users instead of asking why people are so annoyed by it.

uTorrent was NOT designed to obtain ‘free stuff’ nor do they provide any ‘free stuff’. They merely designed a vessel to ride the file-sharing ocean with.
If you didn’t know, BitTorrent is the company who owns both BitTorrent and uTorrent software. uTorrent was supposed to be the ‘very lightweight’ option of the two, which is why people are upset over the bloatware/ads added…

Furthermore, uTorrent was designed and stabilized quite some time ago and is already raking in dough with an annual income of 15-20 million dollars (which was noted in this article). I personally see no need to advertise through this software other than greed. They have 125 million users to advertise to and thus the reason they wish to display ads. Problem with that is, there are many other alternatives to uTorrent and if they continue to display ads, they will see how fast 125 million users can abandon ship and jump on the next software with no ads. As the case with Mininova and users going to thepiratebay…

…and once gone, it’s all over. Just my opinion :)

Hey guys, if you want to stop those new commercial ads on the newest version of utorrent , than you can do so during the installation of the utorrent. If you have utorrent already installed than you need to uninstall with an unistaller like revouninstaller.com to make sure that you remove from your registry as well. And than while installing the utorrent you will see an option where it says something like: put or make an exception on windows firewall , make sure you uncheck that mox and you will now see any ads on utorrent again.
Hope this helps.

I am following this discussion with interest. From the comments here, I back peddled and reinstalled utorrent 1.8.1 (when dinosaurs roamed the earth.) No apparent change to my torrent farm which is in transition since demon* went down.

Torrent Freak please do a feature on which tracker would be best to move to. Because I am concerned with historic content (b/w sci fi and noirs) the only tracker I can think of to use is TPB. They have the history– the Memory Alpha of torrents.

I’m well aware of that, thank you. But what I wasn’t aware of is how many people who blog on Torrent Freak are so FUCKING ANAL! However, never let it be said that I’d want to upset some one who still lives in their parent’s basement, I’m sure it’s painfully stressful. Please accept this in place of a passifier…
