It has come to our attention that with an update to the latest version of µtorrent (1.7.7) by default there are several options turned on that absolutely must be turned off. DHT (distributed hash tables) and Peer Exchange, as well as Local Peer Discovery are features in µtorrent that allow you to connect to peers that are not part of the tracker. Failure to turn these options will cause µtorrent to misreport data to the tracker. This is not only a security risk, it is also a bannable offence as your client will report more data uploaded and less data downloaded from the tracker, thus falsely increasing your ratio. Also, if you are seeding to peers from outside the tracker, you won't be able to seed to SCC members as quickly as possible. Please disable these features as soon as possible.
Failure to turn these options off may result in your account being auto disabled due to our anti-cheat system!!!"
So apparently, we all only download from our sceneaccess accounts if we have them. This goes against the idea of p2p and bittorrent downloading communities as it keeps downloading segregated between groups. Either you have to use two torrent clients or mess with settings whenever you download from sceneaccess. I think SCC make too many demands of their users, as their site isnt that great and the mentality of the administrators to ban without warning is appalling. I may be joining the ban scc club in the near future....
