there are no significant changes, no new features (at least what are listed on the changelog), just fixes and the exe is getting bigger and bigger. I wonder what is really happend with this client...

The EXE is like 200kb ... what more do you want? :|

I've been using the latest beta 1.7 and so far no issues.

thats part of my point. 1.6 has 170KB (compressed). And this one is 200KB (compressed) with no (really) new features. Thats why I was wondeing.

What I want? I want to know exactly whats going on. Nothing more.

What's going on is few new features, bug fixes (or workarounds), and changes that needs code/modules/functions/resources to be written/added, and that adds to the total file size, it's that simple.

Well my guess is what Tantawi said - bug fixes + new features and enhancements most likely are what added up to 30kb more ... but really ... I would only be worried of the file size jumped from 200kb to 4mb.

I haven't read the thread but I am curious, isn't torrent considered as a type of warez? Yet it's allowed on Neowin?

No, there are plenty of legal torrents out there. People have to stop thinking that just because someone says "torrent" they are a warez monkey.

Well, its the same thing as programs like Limewire, though to a lesser extent. Limewire isn't illegal but the content shared by many using Limewire is. Torrents are the same exact thing.

Except that Bittorrent has a lot more legitimate uses than Limewire ever did, though obviously piracy is still its number one usage.

2007-05-27: Version 1.7 (build 2132)

- Change: RSS title parsing

- Change: Detect external IP

2007-05-22: Version 1.7 (build 1977)

- Change: use radio marks for Bandwidth Allocation menu items instead of check marks

- Fix: When installing to user profile directory uTorrent now tries to be smarter in choosing a localized program files directory name

- Fix: Work around a Wine bug where getsockname() returns success but keeps passed in port at 0 if socket already bound; thus uTorrent would itself reset back to port 0 if it was already in use

- Fix: Don't scroll general tab horizontally since it has no horizontal scrollbar

    • Or anything online that requires an anti-cheat
    • Gf needed a new Surface and was looking at a Surface Laptop because of the Snapdragon. Seeing as it was a two year old chip she just decided to get a Lenovo Yoga 2 in 1 instead. Personally this Surface Ultra Cassis reminds me a bit of Razor. It would be interesting if it could handle proper gaming and be 17 inch.
    • No idea, frankly, I'm not into minimum requirements gaming, but it would be an interesting test to find out. Also, I just have to point out that it wasn't my intention to downplay the performance of DXVK on Linux or Linux gaming in general (despite my own experience being a bit of a mixed bag). I just thought it would be good to point out that DXVK is not Linux exclusive and that you can benefit from using it even in Windows.
    • Fastfetch 2.64 released bringing new logos and other improvements by David Uzondu Fastfetch, the popular command-line system information tool that developers created as a fast alternative to the classic Neofetch utility, has updated its codebase to version 2.64, bringing experimental scripting power, streamlined compilation options, a smarter logo renderer, and Codec module support. As noted earlier, Fastfetch can now detect hardware-accelerated video codecs across Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android through this new Codec module. On Linux and BSD, the utility uses VA-API by default, with a fallback to VDPAU on Nvidia hardware if compiled with libva and libvdpau. Windows users get D3D12VA on Windows 11 or D3D11VA with Media Foundation Transforms on older systems, while macOS relies on VideoToolbox and Android utilizes AMediaCodec. You can manually toggle Vulkan Video via the config file, and the program will report both encoders and decoders unless configured otherwise. Logo support for Quasar, Origami, Origami_small, NixOS2, and BerserkArch also landed in this release. BerserkArch, if you have never heard of it, is a specialized Arch Linux derivative that targets security researchers and power users. This distro comes with an offensive security tool manager, simply called berserk, which allows users to install complex hacking toolkits with single terminal commands. Moving on, Fastfetch now has experimental scripting options for custom formats using Lua or QuickJS. The Lua integration supports versions 5.3 through 5.5, sharing a single interpreter instance across all modules so you can store variables globally. T Alternatively, if you prefer JavaScript, you can use QuickJS-ng version 0.15.0 or newer to evaluate your custom formats with the qjs: prefix. Other changes that version 2.64 brings include native CMake compilation flags to disable specific modules to shrink the final binary size. Users can delete unwanted ASCII logo files directly from the source directory before building to save additional space. The format engine now boasts ANSI-escape awareness, meaning you can center text with the new vertical bar specifier without breaking colored outputs. Haiku users receive preliminary support for boot manager, window manager theme, screen brightness, and other basic properties. Finally, the Linux edition now extracts desktop wallpaper and theme details from the modern COSMIC desktop environment.
