feebop Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 Hello. I recently got booted off of my university's wifi for torrenting. The tech department told me that after I uninstalled utorrent, I'd need to reformat my HDD and reinstall my OS, because even after uninstallation, some torrenting programs can upload data through my computer. I've never heard of this before, and it sounds like crap, to me. Can utorrent still send data from my computer after uninstallation? Will I really need to reformat?

DreadWingKnight Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 They are lying to you. Torrent applications do NOT continue transferring data after uninstall. In fact, they don't continue transferring data after exiting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
