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.

    • Zen Browser 1.20.2b by Razvan Serea Zen Browser is a privacy-focused, open-source web browser built on Mozilla Firefox, offering users a secure and customizable browsing experience. It emphasizes privacy by blocking trackers, ads, and ensuring your data isn't collected. With Zen Mods, users can enhance their browser experience with various customization options, including features like split views and vertical tabs. The browser is designed for efficiency, providing fast browsing speeds and a lightweight interface. Zen Browser prioritizes user control over the browsing experience, offering a minimal yet powerful alternative to traditional web browsers while keeping your online activity private. Zen Browser’s DRM limitation Zen Browser currently lacks support for DRM-protected content, meaning streaming services like Netflix and HBO Max are inaccessible. This is due to the absence of a Widevine license, which requires significant costs and is financially unfeasible for the developer. Additionally, applying for this license would require Zen to be part of a larger company, similar to Mozilla or Brave. Therefore, DRM-protected media won't be supported in Zen Browser for the foreseeable future. Zen Browser offers features that improve user experience, privacy, and customization: Privacy-Focused: Blocks trackers and minimizes data collection. Automatic Updates: Keeps the browser updated with security patches. Zen Mods: Customizable themes and layouts. Workspaces: Organize tabs into different workspaces. Compact Mode: Maximizes screen space by minimizing UI elements. Zen Glance: Quick website previews. Split Views: View multiple tabs in the same window. Sidebar: Access bookmarks and tools quickly. Vertical Tabs: Manage tabs vertically. Container Tabs: Separate browsing sessions. Fast Profile Switcher: Switch between profiles easily. Tab Folders: Organize tabs into folders. Customizable UI: Personalize browser interface. Security Features: Inherits Firefox’s robust security. Fast Performance: Lightweight and optimized for speed. Zen Mods Customization: Deep customization with mods. Quick Access: Easy access to favorite websites. Open Source: Built on Mozilla Firefox with community collaboration. Community-Driven: Active development and feedback from users. GitHub Repository: Contribute and review the source code. Zen Browser 1.20.2b changelog: Security Mozilla Security Advisory 2026-54 New Features Updated to Firefox 151.0.3 Boosts now support a dark mode UI based on your system dark mode setting. Fixes Fixed auto focus for new windows not working. (#12112) Fixed desktop shortcuts showing zen as 'Nightly'. (#13745) Other minor bug fixes and performance improvements.

    • Looks the same as the Air, actually. Check it out in person.
    • "This transition will take several years so we shouldn't bother doing it at all" is a naive take. This is completely normal for all specifications that cross-cut software, hardware and multiple industries. Look at the PCI specification for another example, consumers barely have PCI-E 5 yet PCI-SIG is working on PCI-E 8. AV2 will take multiple years to get adoption and even then, even a decade from now people will still have older hardware that doesn't support it. That's fine, because the savings still add up as newer devices add the hardware to deal with it. The goal is never to get 100% on the new spec overnight, but to gradually adopt it.
