This is Bram Cohen, the creator of the BitTorrent protocol, and Ludvig (Ludde) Strigeus, the writer of �Torrent.

Together, we are pleased to announce that BitTorrent, Inc. and �Torrent AB have decided to join forces. BitTorrent has acquired �Torrent as it recognized the merits of �Torrent's exceptionally well-written codebase and robust user community. Bringing together �Torrent's efficient implementation and compelling UI with BitTorrent's expertise in networking protocols will significantly benefit the community with what we envision will be the best BitTorrent client.

What does this mean for the �Torrent community? Not much, at least not at first. The intention is to maintain the website as it is, and keep the forums and community active. Moving forward behind the scenes, we will continue to develop �Torrent and will be using the codebase in other applications, especially ones where a fast, lightweight implementation is more suitable, such as embedded systems on TVs, cell phones, and other non-PC platforms.

The existent �Torrent and BitTorrent communities are immensely valuable to us, which is why we are announcing this here first to make sure you're all the first to know about the news. The plan is to continue to foster the health and growth of the community that has been critical to the success of �Torrent. Thank you in advance for your support.

Bram and Ludde

i often get this message on my Tacker Status:an operation on a socket could not be performed because the system lacked sufficien buffer space or because a queue was full

any one know what does it mean ?

right now, if i get to connect to the peer, meaning that it only the local peer? Is it?

Current progress for 1.7 (there should be a public beta in 1-2 months):

- Feature: local peer discovery
- Feature: https support for rss feeds
- Feature: http seeding http://www.getright.com/seedtorrent.html (single-file only)
- Feature: improved UPnP discovery

- Fix: fixed SOCKS5 version bug
- Fix: don't warn about invalid ints in the preferences if the control is disabled


This is stuff that has been already DONE. It's not a todo.

hi guys,
what is the red color icon means for downloading? I know normally it should be blue color rite? what does the red means?

hi all,
anyone has use the �Torrent beta 1.7 version?
any differences between this with 1.6 ver?

i'm still stick with 1.6.. do i hav to upgrade?

My uTorrent Network shows OK (green icon) but all showing Red icon on all my torrents (Tracker error).

Anything I should check ?

^ it's not recommended to use utorrent1.8 as it is only a BETA version. Better use version 1.77.

A vulnerability described as ‘critical’ has been discovered in versions of uTorrent and the official BitTorrent client. The ‘buffer overflow’ vulnerability can be exploited to compromise a user’s computer for the execution of arbitrary code. It is suggested that users should immediately update to uTorrent version 1.8 RC7 or higher. There is currently no fix for the official client.

utorrentSecunia has issued two urgent security alerts, one for uTorrent and the other for the mainline BitTorrent client. Both clients are being developed by BitTorrent Inc.

The vulnerability was found in uTorrent and can be maliciously exploited to compromise a user’s computer, however, it also affects the mainline BitTorrent client, since it’s based on the uTorrent code.

According to Secunia, “the vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in the processing of .torrent files. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow by tricking the user into opening a .torrent file containing an overly long ‘created by’ field”.

A successful execution of the exploit would allow the attacker to run arbitrary code on the victim’s machine.

The vulnerability exists in uTorrent version 1.7.7 (Build 8179) and may well affect earlier versions too, although this isn’t yet confirmed. The flaw is also present in the official BitTorrent client, versions 6.xx.

The solution for uTorrent users is to immediately upgrade to version 1.8. Currently there is no solution for those using the mainline client. However, an update will be available soon, TorrentFreak was told. For now, caution is advised when using unverified torrents.

Ok, i'm like really stressed out. I followed all the instructions. I created a static IP to port forward but the indicator still shows a red exclamation mark and it says the port isn't open. Max speed on a single torrent with 2000+ seeds also only 30 kb/s. What did I do wrong? I am clueless with this stuff.

I'm using a D-Link modem through a Tenda wireless router without any firewall if that's any help.
Btw, here are some pics of my settings, hopefully someone can point out where I went wrong.

thanks but your pic is user posted image
did you guys modified the advance settings?
what is the best setting for us?

So, I downloaded the Vista TCP/IP Limit remover and it changed the HalfOpen to 70,000. I get added download speed but after restart, can't get into windows. Have to use back original tcpip.sys file.

hi,i'm new to utorrent.anyone can let me know how to increase download speed ? my friend told me need to see how many seeds/peers . do i need do any setting in the program/software ?pls guide me

seriously..what does uTP do ??

What is UTP, how to enable?
