thanks for mentioning that. never knew that uTorrent is actually developed by Bittorrent Inc. That makes it indeed very hard to trust the BT Sync service

uTorrent was one of the best (if not the best) engineered Windows programs. It was small, fast and really really well thought out. Just beautiful. I would be so damn proud if it were my creation :)

Then BitTorrent came along and bought it. On one hand I'm really happy for the dev, but on the other hand it was the start of a steady decline of both the quality and the ethics. BT does some really interesting stuff, but I really wish they wouldn't pee on their own parade with all those uT ads and bundling.
