Wow, I can honestly say that this version is a HELL of alot faster then the other version. Thanks to the

* Better download speeds from BitComet clients.

feature, I use to never be able to connect well with other BitComet users. But right now I'm connected to several and getting >50KB/sec from a torrent with ~7 seeders and 35 Peers which I couldn't break the 25-30KB/sec barrier with 1.3.

Definitely! I think they also punish BitComet cheaters? There was a war on uTorrents threads for that...

"Better download speeds from BitComet clients."

I don't understand that. Does it mean you download faster from users who use BitComet than in previous versions, or you download faster from them than from a user using BitTornado or Azureus? :huh:

first. uTorrent had issues downloading from BitComet users.... Now the issues are solved :)

I wonder how many legal torrents are that deserve the use of this client...

:D I bet you don't download every single build of 5 or 6 Linux distros in real time.. like me :devil:

No, really, I do.. but my connection is crap as well, only 512 kbs SHARED WITH 32 OTHER B@ST@RDS

I'm a bit wary of this new setting.......... :unsure:

Disable Windows Firewall when uTorrent starts (Windows SP2 or later only)

.......and its on by 'default'........ :o

It's just poorly worded. All they do is add an exception for uTorrent, not disable the firewall entirely.

I have a question: what does the availability number mean next to the blue graph? When downloading, it'll be at 24.xx or something, but when finished downloading, it'll say 1.0.

I think it's total number of complete files you're seeing.

It changes to 1 once you've finished because you disconnect from seeds.

    • I found that stability back then was really down to the motherboard manufacturer. Back then i stuck with Microstar motherboards and VIA chipsets as they were ultra reliable. Most stuff was done with jumpers and left little room for user created problems 👍
    • Yes, Scoop was created to promote Coreutils for Windows. You can still see early versions of their website on the Web Archive. It was a joke that nobody took seriously. Microsoft's implementation of Coreutils, however, are built in Rust.
    • Looks like EA's Star Wars Zero Company will be out this August by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Over a year ago, EA surprise announced that a team of former Firaxis members is working on a brand-new Star Wars game. Dubbed Zero Company, the title would have XCOM-like turn-based tactics gameplay as players manage a squad of professionals from all over the galaxy. Now, just ahead of an official announcement, it looks like the release date has leaked out. The upcoming Summer Game Fest presentation on Friday is when EA is supposed to show off the title's gameplay footage, with fans also expecting it to reveal a release date. However, the ever-reliable billbil-kun from Dealabs says they have already managed to find out when the game is coming out and what versions fans will have the option of purchasing. Per the leak, Star Wars Zero Company has an August 27, 2026, release date attached to it. The title is slated to release on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $49.99 standard and $59.99 Deluxe edition. The leaker also adds that there won't be any early access perk attached to this special edition. Pre-orders could kick off alongside the official announcement this Friday, too. For those unfamiliar with the title, Bit Reactor is developing Star Wars Zero Company with help from Respawn Entertainment and Lucasfilm Games. The EA-published title is said to be set during the "twilight of the Clone Wars." We will have to wait and see if base building and management mechanics from the XCOM series will be present here, too. "You will step into the shoes of Hawks, a former Republic officer who leads Zero Company — an unconventional outfit of professionals for hire hailing from across the galaxy," reads the game description. "Hawks and Zero Company are recruited for an operation that pits them against an emerging threat that will consume the galaxy if left unchecked. To succeed, Hawks will lead a team of uneasy allies who must set aside their differences to overcome nearly impossible odds." You can catch the Star Wars Zero Company extended gameplay reveal at the Summer Game Fest showcase that's kicking off on Friday at 2 pm PT / 5 pm ET.
    • All their other games always had a new cast and new story, so that's not very surprising. The new dev is worrisome though.
