For people who are not able to read it:
It says that there is a horrific security problem in the webui-plugin of µtorrent, allowing attackers, who are aware of your usage of that tool, to start their own downloads and move them to the autostart-folder of Windows. They recommend, at least to change the standardport for it, if you MUST use it.

I have not found any webui features in FDM, but maybe I'm blind. But I guess there are no such sercurity holes in there, right Alex?! :twisted:

Yes. FDM does not use µTorrent's core.
