§ Not all builds of this uTorrent version are allowed. Since the Dev team like to release small updates to the stable releases from time to time the build number then changes and the newer build will be banned till we can add it to the list. Be aware that this may prevent you from using the latest versions of the client. If you must use this client then perhaps use an older build that is allowed.
Some older builds can be found at File Hippo.

Other Client Specific Information
rTorrent/libtorrent
This client and GUI are released as a pair - do not update one and not the other. Trying to bypass client bans in this way is an instantly bannable offence. If in doubt ASK.
We endeavour to allow the newest version available in any official Debian repository as well as the current stable. However usage of this version is covered by the beta rule as it is offered as a convenience only. Please also note though that as soon as a newer version is available from Debian all older versions will be banned immediately with no warning or delay.
Bittornado
It is STRONGLY recommended Windows users DON'T use Bittornado as it is inferior to Azureus or other acceptable client. If you should choose to use BitTornado, the only allowed version is: 0.3.17 & 0.3.18
Vuze (Azureus 3.0)
This client is official and uses the Azureus beta code. Versions will be allowed on a case by case basis
uTorrent
All versions of uTorrent released after the initiation of the sale to its new owner are currently subjected to close scrutiny. The Utorrent 1.8.* series are only being allowed on a case by case basis.
Do not post re: this policy in the forums. All relevant points are already clearly laid out. We apolgise however due to ongoing wasting of staff time responding re: this policy will result in a 1 day warning and your thread being locked. Any changes to this policy will be announced on the home page and updated here.
Version 1.6 has a security hole that affects public trackers if you are connectable. Many users however still consider this a less risky client than 1.6.1 as it was released well before the sale of the codebase. BitMeTV allows both 1.6 and 1.6.1.
Currently allowed versions:
See * CLIENT VERSIONS ALLOWED * for an updated list of allowed client versions.
Transmission
The current stable version of Transmission is allowed but is covered by the beta rule. This allows keen adopters of this client to test it within the swarm. Use with appropriate levels of caution and make sure you understand the terms of the beta rule.
kTorrent
The current stable version of kTorrent is allowed but is covered by the beta rule. This allows keen adopters of this client to test it within the swarm. Use with appropriate levels of caution and make sure you understand the terms of the beta rule.
Deluge
The current stable version of Deluge is allowed but is covered by the beta rule. This allows keen adopters of this client to test it within the swarm. Use with appropriate levels of caution and make sure you understand the terms of the beta rule.
Other Clients
If a client is not listed as Supported, Banned or Considered for Banning it falls into this category.
We DO NOT Endorse and DO NOT offer Support for these clients.
These clients MAY work on this site however your mileage may vary and we make no guarantees of current or future applicability.
Beta Clients
WARNING WARNING WARNING!:
We occasionally allow certain beta clients due to popular demand however it is important to realize a beta client is NOT just a new feature release it is a client that has not been tested properly yet. If you opt to run the latest beta you do so AT YOUR OWN RISK and will be given ZERO leniency if it does something wrong and gets YOU banned. Again so there is no doubt, by using a BETA client you are placing all your trust in the client developer. If the BETA messes up you WILL be banned. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
A BitMeTV beta client is not the same as a developers beta client. BitMeTV will tag a client Beta if it is allowing it into the swarm for testing.
Beta clients will be banned the instant we see a new version is released. There will be no notice or annoucement. If you are testing a beta client you should be following changes to it anyway.
Please do not request additions to this list. Additions are decided internally within BitMeTV staff.
