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

    • I like the show more options. The only problem with it is that it's not always in a consistent spot in the menu. If the copy/paste/cut, happens to show on top, then more option is the last in the menu. But if copy/paste/cut happens to show on the bottom, then more options is before the copy/paste/cut. But I do like the more options because it hides the stuff that I rarely use. But I would like to choose what it is or isn't hiding. That would make it better.
    • I wonder if "put it back the way it was for decades" ever crossed their minds? 🤣
    • Rescind the stupid "Show more options" in context menus and just give us the full menu instead of adding more steps to get to what we want. The "simpler by default" makes me think they'll go in the opposite direction. Every context menu should have a configure button so you can pick and choose what options should be shown, I know you can do that with some registry fu but that shouldn't be required.
    • This is why competition must exist. Finally, pressure is mounting on Microsoft to move in the right direction.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.
