uTorrent Becomes Ad-Supported to Rake in Millions
zherok:
Regarding the main topic, it appears the ad "feature" will have an opt-out option.
They say they also plan on evaluating other similar features currently part of uTorrent, and have the apps feature slated to be dropped entirely in the near future. Good new all around, though we'll have to see how they follow up on these plans.

They also said they'll remove the apps. All they'd need afterwards is actually ADD a frigging search filter option.

Probably me. I have been using 2.0.4 for a few years now. I don't really know what has changed "behind the scenes", but I don't like the look of it, and there's like 5 minutes of configuring stuff until I like it while 2.0.4 is relatively quick to be used.

i use version 1.6.1 cuz its still the nice stripped tiny program at like 1.5mb or something absurd and still works on all trackers 1.6.0 doesnt work on some and it was shortly after 1.6 i dont remember the exact number that they got bought by bittorrent.com people and i was like fuck you guys i dont trust you

I am using uTorrent 3.1.3 Well I haven't seen ads so far beside the upgrade to utorrent plus. I doubt I will go back to older version since I like the option of 'Prioritize by file order' too much since my internet speed is slow. This helps me get anime episodes be downloaded one by one and I don't have to wait a whole day to download the whole thing and then watch.
And so far it hasn't bugged me not is it's performance given me any trouble. I will stick with it till then.

Frankly, uTorrent has been going downhill since 2.0.4, initially with the UI that looked like candy-coated crap. Eventually then there was the app nonsense. Now this?
