The silent install appears to happen selectively, and not on all machines.

ok so what's the trigger then? It's not magic. Is it like @eclipse said and the offers are random? I don't know; All I can do is report my own first hand experience.

Same. I updated and didn't install it like a retard. Everything's fine.

How am I supposed to know that?
I just made a thread based on a news article I read, which is from a trustworthy source.
Sheesh.

I meant that more rhetorically, I don't expect you to know.

Probably system capability.

Why any reputable person even still uses μTorrent after 2.2 is beyond me. There is so many better, free alternatives.

Using Vuze currently. uTorrent has really gone downhill.

I've installed this countless times and have never found anything to be installed without me specifying acceptance. If you are going to half-ass installations what do you expect?

At every internship ive worked at, Ive had to clean up peoples computers because they install stupid shit because they didnt unclick the free addons when they just click next on the installations of the programs they want. And they wonder why the computers are crashing like they are being DDOS'ed.

I started using Vuze over 6 years ago. And I remember the reactions from people when they saw I could download a movie in less than 20 Minutes.

Popcorn Time Is a good alternative for movies if you want to free up some of your HD space.
