This project was forked from the most current WebUI available, v0.380, on GitHub. BitTorrent does not provide any more support or updates for incompatibily with uTorrent v2.2.1. Since the current WebUI is being developped to stay compatible with the most current v3.0+ uTorrent and also the BitTorrent Remote feature, the project seems to lose compatibility to the old uTorrent v2.2.1. Because of that a vast majority of old users have sticked to the last version before the takeover, which is v2.2.1. But they also added advertisements and other features that does not stay true to the original uTorrent simplistic design. Since the original uTorrent project was bought over by the BitTorrent company, they started improving on the original design which is great in some cases. Anything after that is suspect.UTorrent v2.2.1 compatible WebUI Introduction
1.6 Standard is the last REAL version of Utorrent. Simply looking at who bought the program and who is now updating the code should be enough to convince anybody that the Utorrent we knew is gone.
The backlash against Utorrent is not FUD. Too bad it wasn't made Open Source so someone could continue on the work in the right way. Bearshare, Utorrent, what's next? They are letting their money do the fighting for them and have ruined what was a fantastic product. If the RIAA and MPAA can't kill 'em, they buy 'em and reprogram them. Whatever happens from this point forward is no longer something he's involved in, I believe. I don't see why anybody would want to, especially with the original author no longer coding the program. I for one do not wish to support ANY effort by someone so chummy with the RIAA and MPAA, period. If you wish to use Utorrent, I'd simply say stay with the 1.6 Standard final version and do not use anything after that release. The fact that Utorrent is now owned and being updated by people that have signed agreements with the RIAA and MPAA and NOT the original programmer, should give anybody pause. That version should be safe I believe and is still an excellent client. Utorrent 1.6 Standard, the last final build, was done before the company was purchased and the new code written.
