Yup, it's been just fine for me. No real change.

Yeah fine for me too, but 1.7 was suppose to have some fix for Vista? Can any elaborate on what that fix was (and why it was needed)?
I'm seeding two torrents. I'd reach upload speeds of 75Kb/s. Now it is stuck at ~30Kb/s... Sometimes it'll reach 50Kb/s, but that's it.
And this began right after uTorrent upgraded itself to 1.7...
Is the port forward correctly?
I didn't change any settings... The port is the same, also the router wasn't changed either.
I found the error................ Embarassed Embarassed Embarassed Embarassed Embarassed Embarassed
I had limited the upload speed of those two torrents last week, because I wanted to maximize upload speed of some hdbits torrents I have (boost ratio). However, the hdbits torrents already have dozens of seeders and few leechers, therefore upload speed was very very low.
Now I'm back to normal!
Thank you!
And have a nice day!

Don't feel bad, we all pull a stupid now and again....glad you found the problem.
WARNING!!!
Looks like uTorrent 1.7+ might not be kosher anymore:
I think it's a little overly paranoid, but I noticed today on a couple of the major torrent sites that they will no longer accept 1.7+ as clients due to security concerns.
You can downgrade back to 1.6.1.490 by running the old installer. Don't uninstall your current copy, just install this over it.

There is a real possibility of the MPAA & uTorrent now working together.

Tinfoil hat smileys!
True or not, there are too many sites I visit that ban it now so it's a reality for me.

Please digi stop spreading misinformation...
Oh noes! Everyone uninstall utorrent 1.7.x because copyrighted material was removed from BitTorrent.com's search engine!

Yea this announcement is pretty much a non-issue isn't it?
It's not as if MPAA's given a direct line to every utorrenter's harddrive or anything.
Besides. If your main reason for running bittorrent is to infringe upon copyrights then I wouldn't shed any tears if your freeloading pirate ways were curtailed...
I pay for groceries at the supermarket. And I pay for music and movies too. I might not be able to afford all the DVDs I'd like to buy, but that's as little an excuse for me to go off and pirate it all as going to a Mercedes car dealership and making off with one of their gorgeous coupes during a test drive because I don't have <Dr. Evil>one million dollars</Dr. Evil>.
Well that's my take on it anyway.
I think utorrent's still safe. They couldn't change it drastically even if they wanted because if they did that "community" they're touting so highly in that press release would pretty much evaporate. Kind of like Azureus' "community" seems to have done since last I ran it (something like fifteen months ago I think ago).
When I decided to try utorrent for the first time Azureus was still the most popular client by far. Now very few seems still to be using it.
Peace.

That you know about, yet...
Y'all can do what you will, but paranoia has ever been my BFF with stuff like this.
