uTorrent -Serenity- 2.2.1 Build 25130 - NEW4

USerenity only protects you if downloading is legal in your country, there is absolutely no way to hide your downloads, since the copyright companies can/are uploading to you.

If Downloading is legal but uploading is not, you're safe.

not all right-traders care if you upload or not (even if your country laws allow that) and gonna extort money via mails if they see you in leech-list of a torrent, they gonna do it even if you don't use internet or don't own a computer - if it comes to a court and judge sees they were wrong - they'd just say "we'r sowwy!" and nothing gonna happen to them, but you'd lose time, internet, money etc. That's how copyright works nowadays.

there is absolutely no way to hide your downloads,

buy a VPN.

This is interesting. I checked serenity setting carefully. The file was downloaded about 40 days ago with old ISP and had been "seeding" with no upload and all check-boxes checked, except 1st. The ISP changed 10 days ago. The new ISP sent the notice. All of this means that serenity was in some way seeding with the new ISP. What do you think?

your isp can detect your connection either if there are data transfer (upload or download) or not. vpn can help like Owyn said or get a seedbox. also avoiding using public trackers solved this problem for many.

Make sure "no upload" is the one from drop-down top menu and not just "no report upload",
+If you want to see if it really worked - find those files listed in "infringement(s)" in your uSerenity and see statistic for those (how much downloaded\uploaded) and see did it really upload something or not.

or get a seedbox.

by the way, chineese Baidu free cloud drive sopports offline downloading (it can download files from other www servers right to your clod drive) and also supports offline downloading of .torrents, it gives 2TB of cloud space free currently, you might want to test it :-)
* no, i'm not using it cuz there's no need for that, I use other chineese free cloud drive with 37TB+ of free space ^_^ *

Somehow we upload a little, true?

The no upload function has been reported to be broken, but a small "upload" like yours is protocol traffic, not actual data.

PS: if you could hide the IPs in the first screenshot, that would be great.

somehow sometimes as I've been told (that's why I aksed to check statistics in client) - not all people meet such behavior (not me at least so I can't confirm this), some people say this only happens when connecting to some specific ip addresses (are they hackers?)

But yes, if someone could make a better and understandable no-upload for uTorrent - that would be great.

**Sentry** · 02.12.13, 21:08

Owny, I said that it doesn't happen with everyone, and I could block the people it happened with and it wouldn't just randomly upload to someone else, but I'm not saying those IPs are doing something actively, might just be a coincidence, but now after months of manually banning all IPs I upload to I get it much much less.

And yes, it was full blown upload, I didn't check if data was actually transmitted with a packet sniffer, but it definitely looks like upload.

Edit: I'm gonna let the misspelling of your name stand, Owny is fitting and nice

**piratemeister** · 03.12.13, 19:07

I used it for many time, I never had this problem, No-Upload was working correctly.

Sorry for the spam, but this is awesome

**Sentry** · 06.12.13, 20:33

What rubs the the wrong way about this uploading thing is almost all the peers I upload to are 0% or <1% progress, and don't seem to progress either. I've had one on my list for hours, and always 0.4%, even though he reported peer download rate of ~100kb/s, should have gone to at least 4-5% progress in that time.

Anyways, it's all a bit fishy.

I can't find a common denominator in the IP level though, they're all over the world.

*shrugs*

I would love to see Serenity reborn :(

I think serenity is near perfect.
It does have (crash) issues (when running too many connections and/or torrents active at the same time, and I (and others?) have issues with it uploading even though no-upload is set, but it is very lightweight, very stable, no bs/frills/ads, so what else would you want?

On the no-upload topic, I've made a tool that alerts me when serenity is uploading, and it happens a lot, at least 4-5 times a day I add a new IP to my blocklist, they are all at 0-1% completed, but I don't know what that means, if anything.

Edit: Will post that tool soon.
Here: http://puu.sh/5G947.saveasexe
save as anything.exe, run, done.
If you don't trust me (and you definitely shouldn't, this is the internets after all) this is the source:

Code:

While 1
	$utorrstatus=StringSplit(StatusbarGetText("µTorrent 2.2.1","",5)," ")
	if $utorrstatus[2]>15 and WinActivate("µTorrent 2.2.1") then msgbox(0,"Alert!","Uploading?!",30)
	Sleep(5000)
WEnd

www.autoitscript.com for compiling/running.

Edit #2: Set your upload limit to 20, or manually to 16, then as soon as you upload to someone (it goes over 15) utorrent should become active and a message box should pop up, select the peer that is getting upload, click on copy selected host, and paste that to your ipfilter, then reload IPFilter.

If you have massive download speeds and reach 15 kb/s just by overhead, change the "if $utorrstatus[2]>15" part of the script (namely the 15 to something larger).

Edit #3: Haha .saveasexe
