rafi 184 Report post Posted July 19, 2013 For future reference i'd hope to see 3rd party/optional licences separated from the main License Agreement, it should be placed directly before whatever recommendations/processes it holds, and its Privacy Policy should also be readable directly from there instead of linking to some other sites!But.. it says they are collecting info from the install itself (the user choices). Let's assume it means someone does send your choices for some statcs, would you install it anyway or not? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ciaobaby 8 Report post Posted July 19, 2013 It is placed as part B inside uTorrent's License Agreement (scroll down when reading before installation) for whatever reason... as i do agree with part A i actually don't feel comfortable at all agreeing with the latter! For future reference i'd hope to see 3rd party/optional licences separated from the main License Agreement, it should be placed directly before whatever recommendations/processes it holds, and its Privacy Policy should also be readable directly from there instead of linking to some other sites!That's the way it is with ALL "Pay per Install" packages, by visting the site it confirms an installation was done.

Beasly 82 Report post Posted July 19, 2013 you have to pick Custom Installation and uncheck everything!!! user friendly behaviour, perhapsAnother thing that bothers me with this new installation is forced agreement with OpenCandy network.It is placed as part B inside uTorrent's License Agreement (scroll down when reading before installation) for whatever reason.Buundle/Conduit/Opencandy is surely a deadly combo!...lol!A sticky should be made just to get around the maze of unwanted and un-needed malarky when installing Utorrent/Bittorrent.It sure looks like a sneaky way to implement this crap....A Double whammy!...I guess Bittorrent.inc needs as many clicks as they can get!....Caaching!

ciaobaby 8 Report post Posted July 19, 2013 Compared to the installation 'extras' of Format Factory, the uTorrent 'extras' have huge neon signs announcing them. With that installation, when you have declined the offer of Baidu and Delta Search, and pressed [Next], an "Ok/Cancel" dialogue pops up, which, if you don't read it carefully will totally ignore your "Do not install" selections and load them up anyway, if you click [Ok]. which would be the intuitive action because you would naturally think that you were confirming the "do not install" instructions.

rafi 184 Report post Posted July 20, 2013 I guess Bittorrent.inc needs as many clicks as they can get!....Caaching!Let's try and be honest here.... The number of *clicks" has been reduced - from 2-3 (deselecting all tool-bars options) to one (enabling "custom")... So what do you want?... I know, it does seem more confusing now... I would say - that they should actually check all those "custom" options by default. This way the user might understand that "standard" means *with* them enabled... Don't you think ?

Read all the posts by users that this toolbar crap has been installed by mistake! It's not straight forward at all.The thing is "technical skills" are not really needed to actually read the instructions and information regarding what they are about to do, and the largest ever repository of human knowledge is at the disposal of anyone with an Internet connection (No, no not Wikipedia either) , so it's not so much "by mistake" but "by not using due diligence" (AKA impatience and the "I know what I'm doing" attitude).Sure, most (if not all) advertisers take advantage of this by presenting things in a way that makes it difficult to say no, and we ALL know this, which is why everybody SHOULD pay attention to ANYTHING other than air that is 'free'.

rafi 184 Report post Posted July 20, 2013 I wonder why they've closed it in the US... Anyways' what people are doing is one thing and their own business, and what BT can or cannot be doing (or be officially associated with) is another...

taba7 0 Report post Posted July 21, 2013 Dear Moderator,For years I used BitComet. Since the last two years I am using µTorrent and very happy. However, there is a mistake about two months ago and no one wants to fix this mistake. For example, you've given a download link above and have done the following announcement: "µTorrent 3.3.1 Stable"However, the version number of µTorrent downloaded from the link above: 3.3.0.29625 [Hash value (MD5): 746886D62F5912C366A25B01D3A971F0]. This is the case for a long time and have never changed.Dear Moderator, What is this?If the technical team thing µTorrent's user is stupid, in fact, technical team is stupid...However, the technical team is not completely wrong, because none of the users above did not touch upon this issue... But of course, µTorrent users is not limited as this users...(I'm sorry for my english is bad)Regards Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
