I'm still looking but I haven't seen any solid proof that the newer client reports anything to anyone. Perhaps people can offer up some evidence of this?

Thanks for saying this. I replied to someone making the opposite claim, and said that there's no proof of that either.

It is reasonable to be suspicious of any closed-source software from a profit-oriented vendor. But we can't have definite statements without evidence.

 Here's your proof: »torrenthelp.depthstrike.com/2007···out.html

Wireshark packet dump of uTorrent traffic.

Everyone is freaking out about a new feature in the 1.7 tree, Local Peer Discovery. It uses multicast traffic to try to find geographically-close peers in order to speed up your transfers. The multicast block of addresses (224.0.0.0 - 239.255.255.255) is normally blocked by routers/firewalls/etc, leading to alert popups, leading to OMGWTFMPAABACKDOOR! calls.
