I'm scared to thing what other bugs are there and what else is not working as it should if i were a more advanced user and would require more tinkering with an advanced options. Now, these are the things i noticed as a most simplest utorrent user. Help file is not updated, some options are not working (like the one i mentioned -> removing the search box), some other options are working for a little while than they stop working altogether untill they start working again (like clicking on a tray icon and opening the program with a single click and then clicking on the same icon again to close the program back to tray). With every new version, more and more time is needed to bring the torrent UI back to as it was.

Now, my question is.is there anything else i need to disable? Any other hidden ads that will jump out and scare me? And finally, when i thought im finally done, in the down right corner two icons pop out, Facebook and Twitter icons. How many ads (hidden or visible) do new versions have? I recently tried new 3.2.2 beta and had to untick ads and other mumbo-jumbo during installation, inside the program i had to disable (hide) featured torrents, then i had to hide all other stuff that clutters UI, afterwards i had to search the forums to find how to disable left_rail_offer and sponsored_torrent. If you cannot find it, you might be safe from this bug.Īfter applying the setting, you should restart the client.One other difference between 2.x versions and new one. Some older uTorrent versions might not have this option. to prevent this, I strongly recommend that all uTorrent users disable the 'net.discoverable' setting. Among other things, this bug allows for crashing of uTorrent, and stealing of torrents. (This applies to both uTorrent web and the WebUI inside 'normal' versions of uTorrent)Įven if you have the WebUI disabled, there is another security bug that can be exploited. Because of this, I strongly recommend that all users currently using the uTorrent webUI, disable it for the time being. The full bug report can be found here: More information can be found here: īasically, this security hole allows an attacker to remotely get access to your uTorrent via the WebUI, and use that for malicious activities, like downloading viruses to your computer. Quote Recently, two security bugs were found in uTorrent in how it sets up its web interface (affecting both uTorrent Web and uTorrent Classic).
