My favorite and I believe it’s also majority’s favorite BitTorrent client, µTorrent version 1.7 stable is finally here!
The biggest changes were full Vista support and the removal of the 65,536 piece limit for torrents. Also added was support for finding local peers (peers on the same LAN) and optionally not having any upload restrictions for them. It is also possible to turn on automatic updating for betas now, found in the “Other” section of the preferences.
If you’re interested in seeing what has been fixed and changed from utorrent version 1.6 to version 1.7, see here. uTorrent changelog shows a lot of changes and fixes from v1.6 to v1.7. It’s a major update, so make sure you download and use the latest version for better support when downloading torrents.
If you didn’t know about uTorrent or have not used it, please give it a chance. It is only 218KB in size and it is known as the lightweight and efficient BitTorrent client.
