Default bittorrent users.

I'd steer clear of the new 3.3 version. As soon as I installed it my computer was flooded with popup things. Now even if I have all windows closed I'm getting popups that I can't get rid of

I'm uninstalling it as soon as my download of desertcombat is done.

maybe I got a spyware wrapped version I was reading the main page and it said there was no spyware or adware.

suprnova had the download as a popup... why would they advertise a spyware-wrapped version?

Have had 3.3 installed for a while now. No popups here for me. :dunno: Maybe it just likes me.

Make sure you download it from the official site.

Why a spyware version? Cause they make money. Believe it or not, big business is fighting over your eyes and time. It's a huge fight right now and they try to show THEIR ad's for THEIR sponsors.

I just figured suprnova had a little more integrity than to advertise a spyware version.
