uTorrent 1.7 Stable Finally Released

[Amplify]

By Ernesto

After months of hard work and nearly half a year after the release of their previous stable release uTorrent 1.7 finally sees the light. uTorrent 1.7 comes with several new features and some essential changes and big fixes.

uTorrent 1.7 is fully Vista compatible and the 65,536 piece limit for torrents is removed which might improve the download speed of larger torrents.

Other noticeable changes are:

Feature: option to auto update to betas

Feature: automatic upload speed limiting

Feature: Web seed support for single-file torrents

Feature: Local Peer Discovery

Change: Prioritize seed queue based off seed/peer ratio

Change: Improved half-open connection management

Fix: download rate limiting bug

Fix: UPnP mapping when local IP changes

A complete list of changes, features and fixes can be found at the uTorrent forums. In the meantime the uTorrent team is working hard on their next milestone, the release of a Mac version.

Until those ported versions are ready Mac users might want to try running it under emulation to get uTorrent working on OSX.

Time to update! uTorrent 1.7 (Windows)

Hm, I tried adding the download link to the Software News last night and it said it'd have to be revised by a forum moderator and I already saw an update for "UltraEdit-32 v13.10a" an hour ago or so, why wasn't mine posted?

Anyways, glad it's finally here, I immidiately downloaded it.
