Sweet!!! always lookin forward to a new release. Not that theres ever anything wrong with previose ones, lol.

The title is wrong though, Had me all excited, till I seen it was an old version number, then I seen that there was a newer one, and then an even newer one.

Anyways, right on, uTorrent rocks.

I had to give up on uTorrent because of a conflict with NOD32 3.0. I contacted ESET customer support and they were unable to solve the problem. I'm back to the official Bittorrent client, though it's improved a lot since I last used it - and yes, it is quite strange that it works when it's effectively just uTorrent renamed. *shrugs*

    • Since they open sourced the calculator in Win 10/11 it is much better and can do a lot, I love it.
    • That's just silly imo. The lengths that man goes to just to avoid W11 is just nuts. Very, very few home users would do that. I will say this though, he is committed. Btw, I note on askwoody that Woody Leonhard passed away March, 2025 aged 73. His site was one of my favorites back in the day. Belated yes but RIP Woody.
    • Because of the EU (a good thing) newer android devices been getting 5 years worth of security patches. Except some Motorola which found the loop hole, and offer ZERO updates. In addition, Google for years have been making where it can patch some stuff by updating the core Google Play Store itself.  As echoed earlier,  you take the security risk in to your own hand beyond supported.
