Well, beta's mean more upgrades. A final means no updates for a while.

I don't mind beta's that much. May be to many per week but not worth whining about.

[Toology]

Here is the 1.7 release candidate build. Assuming no further bugs are found, this will become the stable build as-is.

For 1.7, the biggest changes were full Vista support (including a new 256x256 icon) and the removal of the 65,536 piece limit for torrents. Also added was support for finding local peers (peers on the same LAN) and optionally not having any upload restrictions for them.

hey are the new icons suppose to work with win xp, or are they just made for vista?

[SnowRanger13]

Damn on RC5 already they really work hard at getting all the bugs out. I wonder how the OS X uTorrent is doing.
