ThePitt Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

ThePitt Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 The EXE is like 200kb ... 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

gkl Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 Nah, I think they're just adding spyware to monitor all our downloads. Bittorrent inc is affiliated with movie companies you know. :rolleyes: ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.Markus Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 A 30 kb file size increase is nothing compared to many other bloated applications. I'd be quite suspicious if a small increase didn't occur with all bug fixes/minor changes stated in the change log. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats why I was wondeing.What I want? I want to know exactly whats going on. Nothing more. 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M1h4iL Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoochieMamma Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 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.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Bittorrent is a PROTOCOL. "Bittorrent" is no more Warez than "HTTP" or "FTP". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

serafins Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 http://download.utorrent.com/beta/utorrent-1.7-beta-2132.exe 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
