I've never understood why people need to upgrade their client to the very latest alpha/beta versions when what they have is working fine. Your speed won't increase, nor will your social status, nor your penis size, nor anything else. It makes no sense whatsoever, and like Chris said, why fix something that ain't broken?
Trust me, give it a few days/weeks and when the next utorrent alpha/beta comes out, this issue will repeat itself.

Anyway, I consider this issue solved, so I'm locking it and will be deleted in a couple of days.
