After many months of RC releases, seems we are finally closing in to a final release...

This build will be the stable (not RC) in about 12 hours, so feel free to test it before then.

Changelog:

- Fix: work around Windows bug with network drives and sparse files

- Fix: crash with Torrent and RSS items selected when setting labels

- Fix: write MIME associations to a user-writable location in the registry, for limited user accounts

- Fix: check the 'complete' folder for items downloaded from RSS, same as adding manually

No more changes, no more trivial fixes. The only possible changes we'll make are crash fixes and critical showstopping bugs.

Download Link: uTorrent 1.8 build 11730

    • 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.
