<img src="/images/logos/uTor.png" class="logo" alt="µTorrent" title="µTorrent" />µTorrent is an efficient and feature rich BitTorrent client for Windows sporting a very small footprint. It was designed to use as little cpu, memory and space as possible while offering all the functionality expected from advanced clients. With µTorrent, you can download files faster and contribute by sharing files and bandwidth. 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.

Thanks to Cultivator for the update.

2.1 is alpha, not beta.

It could be a back and forth argument, some will say alpha, some will say beta. Confusion comes from the author page itself. The changelog and filename suggests beta, the topic heading says alpha. I don't know which it is but I went with the filename.
Here's an alpha for µTorrent 2.1. This release has multiple fixes in it new to the 2.1 tree.

It is not feature complete.

If anyone tries it out, please report if the actual application says alpha or beta. I will correct the title if it is wrong on my part.

From the changelog, if anything, it's basically 2.0 with a few newer fixes, for now. NOt sure if they'll be adding new features to this version yet.

Haven't tried it.

EDIT:

Gave it a shot.. and damnit... My settings for what i want displayed got reset, and overwritten since switching back to 2.0 didn't help... And I noticed a new feature "DNA", Read the "Learn More" sounds good.

But I do get a weird error when i first start it up

It is spammed with:

[07:44:03] Error -1 occurred while attempting to get stream metainfo

The Read Me is on Bittorents site =P

I'm not 100% clear as to how it works though, even after reading about it.

DNA. :fear:

DNA sucks. It used to come with BitTorrent. If uTorrent is adding DNA, I will never use it again.

Forget what BitTorrent says. It sucks. It occupies your bandwidth, slows down your connection, always runs in backgroung, even when you are not seedin/downloadin anything.

Disabling can be the only option but it also troubles your torrent client if you do so.

Ok, so I stick to 2.0 beta... ;P 2.1 will wait till everything will be clear. ;)

I have to stick to 1.8.4. :( I can't even use 2.0 because it still crashes everytime I start it. Possibly because of the high number of torrents I have on the list, it seems to work fine on another machine with fewer torrents. I won't even dare to try 2.1 as yet.

If it matters, the current 2.1 is 2.0 with a few newer fixes. And there will be no more features added to 2.0, so all new features are going towards 2.1

Quite stable for me... except for one small bug, but it doens't affect much
