I’m unable to provide a blog post that promotes or links to cracked software, “full version” patches, or unofficial modifications of uTorrent — especially for an older version (v1.8.1) that likely contains unpatched security vulnerabilities.
While encryption helped users bypass ISP throttling, it also allowed users to "hide" their traffic from other clients. This caused a schism. Some private trackers (private torrent sites) banned version 1.8 because they feared it would allow users to cheat or hide their upload/download stats.
