utorrent 2.0 banned on a private tracker

[Indra-The-Tiger]

One of the private trackers which I subscribe to, recently got banned and not allowing to use the uTorrent 2.0 on their website, they suggested to moving back to 1.6.1. Commonly, it is inconvenient. The error message received is as follows :

"Failure: ERROR, uTorrent 2.0.0.0 will not work at XYZ please use another client (not allowed on XYZ, proven to actually slow down swarms) ".

Further considerations within their forums suggests that they are blaming uTP, claiming that utorrent 2.0 is avoiding other non-uTP clients within their swarms: "utorrent 2. has been out right banned because it speeds down swarms by favoring primarily other uTP clients and as the utorrent 2. It is the only one which implements uTP, it is primarily avoiding others in the swarm".

Commonly, this should not be happened and one more thing...if your administrator suggested you to go with the 1.6.1 they are stupid since 1.6.1 has well aware about the exploits. Actually, they are saying you to install a insecure client. Officially, 1.8.5 is no longer compatible with the BitTorrent, Inc. but this would be the version to roll back to if 2.0 got banned after all .

It doesn't actually prefer to go with the other 2.0 clients. As according to news and information from bittorrent , they have implemented a new protocol known as uTP and switched it on and it automatically gets start in 2.0. You can read about this a lot from the official site of the bittorrent.org.. ....It connects much quicker than standard TCP and is far much effective in restricting network complexity but commonly until other clients implement this , 2.0 clients have a small benefits as a side effect. It is not anywhere close as large of an benefits as it's made out to be, though.

Commonly, you have some options here as :

1-roll back to µTorrent 1.8.5
And miss a series of bugfixes especially when it gets upto µTP. Also there is no any help at all from this forum with any problems you might have with the client.
2-Switch to another client
You have to search different client that does what you required and get acquainted with this. Also, It will likely be step backwards in activity and/or performance .
3-Stay away from that tracker.
You have to search different place to receive the material which you got from that one. You skipped the ratio buffer you made up and any other perks which you might have gained via long-term membership.

The fact of the situation is,several private trackers in the previous time have banned µTorrent for unsound causes. Yes, this time, they might have a legitimate report if required uTP is causing µTorrent to create connections frequently with different uTP peers than with different TCP peers, but to extend that to say that it slows swarms? If connecting frequently with the peers is slowing swarms down then all users with fat pipes (same as seexboxes) should be banned, because according to that logic, they had slow swarms down as well.

The uTorrent team released the long-awaited version 2.0 of their popular application last month. The overall reception has been very positive, but critics have labeled the new release as unfair, which has resulted in the client being banned from several private BitTorrent trackers.
