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 found that stability back then was really down to the motherboard manufacturer. Back then i stuck with Microstar motherboards and VIA chipsets as they were ultra reliable. Most stuff was done with jumpers and left little room for user created problems 👍
    • Yes, Scoop was created to promote Coreutils for Windows. You can still see early versions of their website on the Web Archive. It was a joke that nobody took seriously. Microsoft's implementation of Coreutils, however, are built in Rust.
    • Looks like EA's Star Wars Zero Company will be out this August by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Over a year ago, EA surprise announced that a team of former Firaxis members is working on a brand-new Star Wars game. Dubbed Zero Company, the title would have XCOM-like turn-based tactics gameplay as players manage a squad of professionals from all over the galaxy. Now, just ahead of an official announcement, it looks like the release date has leaked out. The upcoming Summer Game Fest presentation on Friday is when EA is supposed to show off the title's gameplay footage, with fans also expecting it to reveal a release date. However, the ever-reliable billbil-kun from Dealabs says they have already managed to find out when the game is coming out and what versions fans will have the option of purchasing. Per the leak, Star Wars Zero Company has an August 27, 2026, release date attached to it. The title is slated to release on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $49.99 standard and $59.99 Deluxe edition. The leaker also adds that there won't be any early access perk attached to this special edition. Pre-orders could kick off alongside the official announcement this Friday, too. For those unfamiliar with the title, Bit Reactor is developing Star Wars Zero Company with help from Respawn Entertainment and Lucasfilm Games. The EA-published title is said to be set during the "twilight of the Clone Wars." We will have to wait and see if base building and management mechanics from the XCOM series will be present here, too. "You will step into the shoes of Hawks, a former Republic officer who leads Zero Company — an unconventional outfit of professionals for hire hailing from across the galaxy," reads the game description. "Hawks and Zero Company are recruited for an operation that pits them against an emerging threat that will consume the galaxy if left unchecked. To succeed, Hawks will lead a team of uneasy allies who must set aside their differences to overcome nearly impossible odds." You can catch the Star Wars Zero Company extended gameplay reveal at the Summer Game Fest showcase that's kicking off on Friday at 2 pm PT / 5 pm ET.
    • All their other games always had a new cast and new story, so that's not very surprising. The new dev is worrisome though.
