Hey all. Can someone/anyone explain the reasoning for many (most) trackers:
a) Blacklisting ALL uTorrent versions when their is version 3.5.3 which patched the vulnerability.
b) Blacklisting 3.x versions and allowing 2.2.1 which is still vulnerable, but asking users to change net.discoverable to false

Now I don't argue that they want to be safe than sorry and that uTorrent 2.2.1 might be the best version yet, but software upgrades are there for a reason. And security patches are usually one of the reasons.
I personally don't agree with these semi measures.

Why not just whitelist 3.5.3 which is proven safe and urge users to upgrade to that version instead of asking to downgrade and be vulnerable, or asking to migrate to other clients using 3rd party tools and completely banning a client that has a safe version (3.5.3) and millions of active users. By the way none of these tools can migrate my 100 RSS filters and settings from uTorrent to ANY client.
