Bitsoup : News

[Ethan]

Effectively immediately!


uTorrent 3.4.2 will be banned. No future versions of uTorrent will be white-listed to be used with Bitsoup until a complete and thorough investigation has been conducted and will probably be decided on ownership and development properties of the client itself. Meaning while BitTorrent owns the rights and are developing uTorrent, no future version of this client will be allowed.

The secret Bitcoin mining installation started with build 28913 but as many of you know already, 3.4.2 has been the worst version in the entire series for some time, so we've elected to ban all builds. Who knows, there testing in the global market for these type of activities may be the reasons the 3.x series have been performing so badly compared to the most recent version prior to 3.0's release.

There are debating reports whether the Bitcoin Mining Software is being installed silently or by user error and there are claims that support both sides of the installation. However, it's a fact it's there whether you know it or not and causes serious PC issues. The non hidden installation misleads users by not stating exactly what it is by simply stating it is to solve math problems, and upon a blind update, possibly installs without your knowledge.

We've have always recommended 2.2.1 as it truly is the last clean and stable uTorrent client you can use. Once you downgrade, be sure it doesn't update on installation and turn off the auto update feature in the settings.

Download uTorrent 2.2.1 directly from Bitsoup.

We have also always stated that all other versions of any approved client is a 'use at your own risk' and that any and all clients and/or versions are subject to be banned with or without prior notice and this is one of those times. We apologize for not being able to give prior warning, but under the circumstances this banning is warranted and considered mandatory.

You will need to run PC checks to see if you do in fact have a program called EpicScale running on your machine and if so, remove it with any way possible.
