| 1395859 | 2015-03-07 02:09:00 | Just this week, I was wondering what this Epicscale meant when I went to the Control Panel to uninstall something. Turns out this was from uTorrent after searching the web. It won't uninstall using Windows Control Panel. I had use CCleaner to remove it. | ruellesmith (17277) | ||
| 1395860 | 2015-03-07 02:15:00 | I've been using it on and off for about a year and haven't had any issues at all. In fact I recommend it. uTorrent is a massive piece of **** anyway, I believe it's ties to the MPAA are well documented. |

| 1395861 | 2015-03-07 02:19:00 | might have to look at using something else as there is alternatives around | Lawrence (2987) | ||
| 1395862 | 2015-03-07 02:39:00 | I have it installed and up to date on 2 computers and neither has this miner. Reading up it's one of the optional extras so if anyone gets it it's time to remind them to pay attention when installing stuff. I may look into others myself, but I have edited the advanced options and removed most of the adds etc after finding a guide online and it still run's pretty well. Here's my settings if anyone is interested as I don't recall where I found them. i.enable_comments = false gui.enable_ratings = false gui.report_problems = false gui.show_devices = false gui.show_notorrents_node = false gui.show_upsell = false ipfilter.enable = false offers.left_rail_offer_enabled = false offers.sponsored_torrent_offer_enabled = false rss.feed_as_default_label = false rss.smart_repack_filter = false sys.enable_wine_hacks = false |

| 1395863 | 2015-03-07 02:41:00 | I prefer to use the older version,I have not updated from 3.1.3 after which they started ads and other nasties. Happy try any other clients which maybe recommended.... | ruup (1827) | ||
| 1395864 | 2015-03-07 02:57:00 | This thread prompted me to look for a new client. http://deluge-torrent.org/ is what I'm trying now, so far it seems like Utorrent with all the rubbish stripped out. | dugimodo (138) | ||
