You'll need a Windows system in order to run the Falcon-compatible uTorrent build. You can access your client from any operating system, but only very recent browser versions are currently supported.

Flash is currently required.

We need your bug reports and feedback to improve, so please send them to this email, or email [email protected].

==============================

Below this email is a copy of a post in our forums which outlines high level plans for µTorrent Falcon.

This quick version is that the client will support two important features:

(1) Streaming of AVI files (other file formats coming) – a column in the torrents and files tables is labeled “stream” – when a file is ready for streaming, a green “play” button appears which will start playback through the media player of your choice (configured in the preferences)

(2) A simple-to-set-up web service to remotely access your client from any connected device – by claiming a user-name and password you can set up a secure connection to your client from anywhere – the security encrypts everything from your browser all the way to your client – we have no way to decrypt the contents in the middle and there is no way to compromise your privacy – we only know your user name and IP address (…if you forget your password, then your only choice is to go to the machine running your client and change it there)

Enjoy playing with this – as you know its still alpha-code, so polish is missing and issues are expected. Please let us know what you think and how well it works!

µTorrent Falcon – some clarifications on uTorrent 2.1 directions:

As features being added are starting to become visible within our community of testers, its time to talk about them a little.

First the (rather obvious) disclaimer: being “alpha” clients they are NOT YET FEATURE-COMPLETE, especially the user interface, so there isn’t much to look at that’s pretty yet. They also MAY BE PRONE TO INSTABILITY, so install at your own risk. If you’re at all concerned about it then you should probably hold off at least until the beta version is available. That said, we’re really very grateful indeed for all your enthusiasm and commitment in helping us get these new improvements off the ground.

The uTorrent 2.1 alpha and the uTorrent client currently codenamed “Falcon” are early experimental versions of clients that we expect to merge and release to beta during Q1 2010.

In what we’re collectively calling the uTorrent Falcon project, we are working on advances in the following areas:

(1) Streaming

A significant part of the uTorrent Falcon project is make the clients capable of streaming the most popular media file formats distributed using BitTorrent technology.

This means you should be able to use a media-player of your choice to start playback of stream-able file formats only a short time after you initiate a download, without having to wait for hundreds of MB to finish downloading.

Our hope is to transform getting media using uTorrent from a “load-wait-watch-tomorrow” to more of a “point-click-watch” experience.

(2) Access-Anywhere

A second important part of uTorrent Falcon is the introduction of zero-configuration and ultra-secure remote web-access to your client from any computer or smartphone with a browser. This optional service turns your uTorrent client into a connected resource that you can download to, get files from or share access to from anywhere. Our concept of security in this case goes beyond simple HTTPS and includes end-to-end encryption starting in the browser and terminating only at the client. Although we use proxy servers to punch through firewalls, we treat our own servers as essentially untrusted so that your private data remains reliably private.

(3) DNA

BitTorrent DNA is a free content delivery service run by BitTorrent for content publishers. It enables publishers to distribute files using the BitTorrent protocol supported by bandwidth from their own servers, and to collect stats on files they distributed using BitTorrent DNA. The uTorrent Falcon client will include the optional capability for users to download DNA torrents.

We are also working on other improvements including:

- Several UI improvements to make the client’s current and future functionality more generally accessible

- Optional file security features

- Optional browser-integration features

- Better ability for torrent sites to promote content or search within the client

-…as well as many small feature enhancements and further stability, UI and speed optimizations
