AZUREUS
AZ has started a new commercial branch called ZUDEO which identifies itself as AZ 3.x.x.x, and had claimed that 2.5.0.2 was the final 2.x.x.x stable that would ever be released, and all future versions would identify themselves jsut like zudeo, as AZ 3.x.x.x. this raised concerns because we would not be able to tell if a member was using ZUDEO or AZUREUS, and we want nothing to do with zudeo, since we feel it is a security risk, and because zudeo identifies itself as AZ.Azureus claimed that zudeo was simply a different user-interface for AZ, but zudeo incorporates DRM, and has alligned itself with people/organizations that end with initials **AA. While investigating zudeo, tweo of our admins, system & ibslice discovered that packets of data were being sent back to AZ, and when confronted, AZ devs at first denied, then said it was only anonymous info about how the client was working, then our staffers discovered that the packets being sent back contained your total UL stats, your total DL stats, and your ISP name/info. We replied to AZ with this information, and in a seeming panic, they did two things:
- Admitted privately that this had been going on with ALL recent AZ stable releases for the last 12 months
- Immediately put together and released AZ 2.5.0.4.
Who knows what other private data on you they have aquired, and if they do indeed keep this data confidential?
UTORRENT
On Dec 7, 2006, this was posted at UT’s site forums
Quote:
This is Bram Cohen, the creator of the BitTorrent protocol, and Ludvig (Ludde) Strigeus, the writer of µTorrent.
Together, we are pleased to announce that BitTorrent, Inc. and µTorrent AB have decided to join forces. BitTorrent has acquired µTorrent as it recognized the merits of µTorrent’s exceptionally well-written codebase and robust user community. Bringing together µTorrent’s efficient implementation and compelling UI with BitTorrent’s expertise in networking protocols will significantly benefit the community with what we envision will be the best BitTorrent client.
What does this mean for the µTorrent community? Not much, at least not at first. The intention is to maintain the website as it is, and keep the forums and community active. Moving forward behind the scenes, we will continue to develop µTorrent and will be using the codebase in other applications, especially ones where a fast, lightweight implementation is more suitable, such as embedded systems on TVs, cell phones, and other non-PC platforms.
The existent µTorrent and BitTorrent communities are immensely valuable to us, which is why we are announcing this here first to make sure you’re all the first to know about the news. The plan is to continue to foster the health and growth of the community that has been critical to the success of µTorrent. Thank you in advance for your support.-Bram and LuddeBram Cohen had previously been forced to sell/partner with the Major Studios/mpaa because he was being threatened with legal action. Now, Ludde, the developer of utorrent, has sold utorrent to Bram’s venture. This means that utorrent is now partiall/wholly owned by the very people you read about who are suing children and grandmothers for filesharing, and who have taken down many torrent sites over the last few years.
Ludde had supposedly been banned from doing any more work on new bittorrent updates by the terms of his deal with bram/bittorrent inc., but after we banned the utorrent beta here a month ago, he has come to our IRC chat and asked if we would accept a new stable utorrent release 1.7. this would basically be the banned 483 beta build with a new name, making it technically within our standard client rules.
Note: I do not take credit for writing any of this, it was on a private site and I feel it deserves to be known. And can not credit the site however tequilavip wrote it.
New Info: Due to the mass people searching for torrent clients the “safe builds” are: utorrent 1.6.474 and azureus 2.5.0.4.

Nice logo theft, we appreciate you ripping off independent musicians.
Geez.. If you’re going to create a blog that you actually want people to read, try to design your own damn logo.
On the other hand, you do seem to be pro-pirating, so maybe stealing other people’s shit is okay with you.
[...] Where have the good torrents gone??? Filed under: Computers & Internet — Yatta @ 8:52 am I’ll be the first to admit it…. initially I was never a torrent fan. It just seemed long and forsaking at times to get what you wanted, isn’t it ironic though that at the same I preferred IRC to get what i wanted?!?!?! All who really understands IRC, knows you can be waiting in queue for quite sometime to get what you want. I digg’ed around a bit and came across this article Bittorrent Clients gone sour. [...]
[...] Inzwischen soll das “Heimweh” von Azureus und Zudeo “kuriert” worden sein, heißt es bei TutorialNinjas. In der kürzlich veröffentlichten Version 2.5.0.4 soll Azureus keine Daten mehr zu seinen Urhebern schicken. Genaue Angaben darüber, wie lange Azureus “nach Hause telefonierte” sind nicht bekannt. Angeblich sollen aber alle Final-Versionen der letzten 12 Monate diese Eigenschaft haben. [...]

you really need to change you logo. then again all the content here is just cut and paste.
but this is true, is torrent client thing is currently an issue and needs to be hashed out.
Does anybody know what’s that about:

It’s rather old posting regarding a commit to the Azureus Source back in May 2006, nevertheless it seems to me that something fishy is going on with Azureus.

Usenet has and always be the leading source for anything and everything. Usenet FTW.
[...] Utorrent on the other hand does not seem to be the only bittorent client which seems to be affliated with the content industry. There are at least rumors that Azureus was sending stats of your sessions over the network as well. And finally a photo appeared on Flickr that shows the author of Bitcomet and Aswhin Navin of Bittorrent. [...]
I have few questions regarding this line:
How did they discover this?
Could you please document your procedure so that we could verify it on our end?
Can you post some data dumps showing us exactly where the confidential information is encoded?
Also, did your staffers look at the source code to locate where do these packets originate?
What you are doing here, is making an unsubstantiated accusations without a shred of evidence.
If something strange is really going on, I will be the fist to drop Azureus. But I want to see something more convincing than this.
