Just back whatever you say with facts, don't just say something just cos u r unable to understand it.
Lolz....complete Bull****. You sound like an old member here, prakash.

I wonder, I am using it here, & Spybot too...no such thing. Again, any screenshot or log? R U sure it is not something else?

I am fully confident of what I am saying. Update your definition

Just hint how do you sound.

Codyhulk: Andheri got Traffic Jam.. Try to avoid that route

gx_saurav:If you cannot prove something you say then don't say a lie. Did you take picture of it? Give me proof. if you don't have facts to back your statement, stop spreading misconceptions.

Codyhulk : What a low self esteem guy who needs to take picture of traffic Jam just to prove his point. Duh!!!

(codyhulk thinks to himself ) Does he have any real life friends? Because he can't trust anything. What a Paranoid.. (rolling eyes)

1. Only if you have enabled software at startup

2. Chances vary according to speed and settings of the software. Also the server of the torrent seeding site.

Traffic Jam is diff compared to Torrents

EDIT:

Here is something interesting info.The MPAA, RIAA are tracking down users and p2p downloaders through various methods ..Here is one of them and how people scrw this people's intentions

The MPAA, RIAA and several anti-piracy organizations are constantly trying to trap people into downloading fake torrents. These torrents are hosted on trackers that are setup to collect IP addresses of all the ‘pirates’ who try to download these files.
To make these traps more visible, Fenopy just introduced the FakeFinder. The FakeFinder lists the most popular fake torrents and the latest fake trackers. It also allows you to search for fake torrents by keyword or infohash.

The actual .torrent links for these fake files are blocked, and FakeFinder serves an informational purpose only. It is actually quite amusing to browse through these fake files and trackers. The companies that host these anti-piracy trackers came up with some interesting hostnames like “dirtydevils.cyberbox.com.br” and “bittorrent.isthebe.st“.

Although most of the IPs of these fake trackers are already blocked by blocklist software like PeerGuardian, they still manage to collect the IP addresses of thousands of users who do fall for this trap. Most torrent site admins are aware of these fakes, and remove them as soon as they are uploaded. It is kind of a paradox. On the one hand anti-piracy organizations send thousands of takedown requests to torrent sites, while they upload fake files with similar titles themselves.

Some might argue that downloading a fake file is not really a criminal offense. And yes, it is doubtful if this evidence will hold up in court. However, the job of organizations like the MPAA is to scare people, and that is often enough for them. The first thing they will probably do is send a letter to your ISP saying that you tried to download so-and-so file. And even if they take it a step further, they try to settle before these things are played out in court.

FakeFinder shows that BitTorrent site admins are trying to track down these fake torrents, and it’s a nice way to expose the darker side of anti-piracy organizations like the MPAA.

I don't trust such stupid rumours when proof isn't provided. But there is a tiny possibility of it being true. To rule it out totally I would have to do a bit searching. Since I am not using Vista, I dont have to. Thats why I am relieved.

the use of torrentts is not illegal, downloading copyrighted stuff is. so why shouldn't people use torretns. i use it to download free stuff such as linux distros and open source softwares

[goobimama]

Well I got a bit confused by the first part:"so there are ppl here who use utorrent." Don't mean mean plain and simple "torrent" instead of the client "utorrent"? Anyway, its not important. I hope god has mercy on me...

Version 1.7.2 Final Released
Change Log - http://download.utorrent.com/1.7.2/utorrent-1.7.2.txt

[rakeshishere]

DO NOT USE µtorrent 1.7 xxxx to 1.7.1 xxxxx .They are found to have many Bugs and are banned by most of the pvt Trackers.Either stick with v1.6 or v1.6.1 OR Use Latest version of it

µTorrent 1.7 and 1.7.1 banned

Due to some serious bugs in µTorrent 1.7 and 1.7.1, these versions of the client will be banned . If you are using µTorrent 1.7 or 1.7.1, please update to µTorrent 1.7.2 as soon as possible, or consider switching to a different client, such as Azureus 2.5.0.4. Users of µTorrent 1.6.0 and 1.6.1 will not be affected by this ban.

Here are the specific problems which have prompted the banning of µTorrent 1.7 and 1.7.1:

#

µTorrent 1.7 is reported to announce incorrect download amounts to the tracker for torrents where the data is greater than 4 GB in size. If you are using this client, it may be reporting far more download to the tracker than you are actually downloading.

#

µTorrent 1.7.1 does not respect the 'private torrent' flag in its algorithm for Local Peer Discovery. This makes it unsuitable for use on private trackers. This problem has been corrected in µTorrent 1.7.2.
