Another run at Peerblock and uTorrent remote

I have used Peerblock and uTorrent on my desktop for years now and I have been downloading Yify torrents forever.  I have never had a problem with DCMA notices or trouble with my ISP during that whole time EXECPT for one day, when I had a local problem and didn't realize that Peerblock WASN'T running.  It was only off for one day but shortly after that, I got all the threating e-mails from my ISP and the DCMA warnings.  So, no matter what negative things anyone has to say and whatever ideas or "proof" that anyone wants to offer me, I know for a fact that Peerblock and the lists that I subscribe to work like a charm in preventing anti-P2P snooping.

 

Now, for some reason, uTorrent development has chosen to prohibit me from using Peerblock in combination with uTorrent remote.  A message pops up giving me the choice of disabling Peerblock or uTorrent remote -- no other choice.  The message says that uTorrent remote is "not compatible" with "peer-blocking software".  However, if I temporarily disable Peerblock, start uTorrent remote and then re-enable Peerblock, everything works just fine and I can remotely load torrents from my phone.  So, in the case of my use of Peerblock and the carefully chosen lists I subscribe to, the warning message that pops up when I try to use uTorrent remote without out "cheating" as I described above, is nothing more than a nuisance message which then prevents my "remote" session for being established - when no problem actually exists.

 

I would like to request, again, that an (advanced?) option be added to disable this checking for "peer blocking software" so that Peerblock can be used at the same time uTorrent remote is enabled.  In my case, if I were to use such an option -- if it were provided -- I would be fully aware that I might be creating a situation where I might have a problem with "remote" and that I would have to adjust my Peerblock lists or settings or disable "remote".  Seeing that other users would not be tempted to use this option. if it were in the "advanced" section, I don't believe that they would put themselves in a position that this warning message was intended to prevent.

 

Please add an option to disable uTorrent's checking for peer blocking software.

Thank you!
