I don’t think ‘they’ will block old version but trackers can start banning utorrent when the worst thing actually happens. Makes me recollect the bit comet incident

Ludvig was the sole coder of utorrent. Now in BT inc he would just be a Technical Consultant and no longer work exclusively for utorrent. Since BitTorrent Inc. has signed a deal with these production houses to provide legal paid downloads of everything, considering utorrent is such a popular client, they would of course load it with some DRM stuff to prevent piracy or whatever. Why else would BitTorrent Inc. buy utorrent? utorrent had everything going for it until now. Backup your old setup of utorrent

irony.

I had recently shifted to uTorrent from BitComet and kinda liked the interface plus it ate less resources as compared to BitComet. I guess it’ll be back to the ol’ BitComet now.

Why did the BitTorrent guys have to screw this up?

I agree with you .
“when things go awry with utorrent – BitComet would be the only option.”
I think monopolization is a bad news.
