End users are as irrelevent to that as they are to setting fashion. Binding to a network adapter from a dropdown list. Automatic torrent management with categories that have their own save paths is amazing. V2.2.1 build 25249 does and I had to get the old version from a different site because this site seems to default to version 3. Things are in, because those with influence within the sphere decide they're in. In utorrent 2.2.1 you cant even select your files when you open a magnet link. Version 3 does not allow you to see or select files until after the download starts. What's 'in' is decided by a subset, who then influence the rest info following. Recommended clients on private sites are like fashion. Then a few years on, they forget all about the past claims and promote the things they used to decry (like Flares)
( I wish I were making this up! Seriously though, that's what was spread for years).
It used to be 1.8.1, or 1.6.1 and 2.x was 'banned because its unfair' ('unfair' meaning 'we don't know how uTP works' or perhaps they listened to Richard Bennett when he said it would destroy the internet a year earlier)īack then, 1.8.1 was 'cool' because it wasn't as 'bloated' as 2.x or 1.6.1 was 'da shit', because clients after that were done by Bittorrent Inc and they all spied on you and reported your activity to the MPAA. It's all based on rumors and 'everyone knows' stuff that gets passed around.
