uTorrent 2.1 Build 16932 Alpha

[SacredCultivator]

Dear Readers,

(Not sure if we do Alpha's, so this might be in the wrong place)

µTorrent is the world's most popular BitTorrent client. Most of the features present in other BitTorrent clients are present in µTorrent, including bandwidth prioritization, scheduling, RSS auto-downloading and Mainline DHT (compatible with BitComet). Additionally, µTorrent supports the Protocol Encryption joint specification (compatible with Azureus 2.4.0.0 and above, BitComet 0.63 and above) and peer exchange.

The changelog suggests it is now in beta status... :dunno:

I think v2.0 was listed while in alpha stage though, what we don't post is nightly builds.

I'll add it for now.
