The BitTorrent client forum

[torrenteer]

Since the "official" BitTorrent client is a rebranded version of µTorrent, I'm asking here.

The download page for it refers you to the Client Forums at http://forum.bittorrent.com/. Said forums, however, reek of being abandoned by anybody in charge. They are full of video converter software spam, inappropriate questions, and the last sightings of moderators were almost a year ago. So I figure that there's no point to expect serious answers from there.

The question is: where do I ask BitTorrent-specific questions (and what's up with those forums )?

[schnurlos]

Ask here ... and the moderators are (perhaps) the same ones.

As you said, the other one is the rebranded, uTorrent is the original

Well, it happens that my issues are not with the client itself, but with the... infrastructure, so to say.

Specifically, this and especially this.

FWIW, the changelogs should more-or-less follow the µTorrent changelog. They won't be exactly the same, but if you compare the build numbers in the µTorrent changelog with the build number in the mainline BitTorrent client's build number in the About dialog, you should have a good idea of what's changed.

Or you could just switch to µTorrent, and never have to worry about missing changelogs or broken auto-update scripts AFAIK, the only differences between the mainline BitTorrent and µTorrent were related to the video store that BitTorrent Inc has since discontinued, and the inclusion of BTDNA with the installer for mainline BitTorrent.
