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.
