wd40 Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 ?Torrent is an efficient and feature rich BitTorrent client for Windows sporting a very small footprint. It was designed to use as little cpu, memory and space as possible while offering all the functionality expected from advanced clients. After a year of development, 1.8 has finally gone stable. The main major feature added is Teredo and IPv6 support, but there's a slew of smaller features, changes and improvements. The changelog is absolutely massive, so check it out down below. Other major features are bypassing the Windows system cache (see the Disk Cache settings), significantly improved proxy support, and magnet URIs. Nice long change log (2 long to post here) Download: http://download.utorrent.com/1.8/utorrent.exe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoHideo Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Is it worth upgrading to? I've stuck to the pre-RIAA involvement version of 1.6 Build 474 due to my paranoia :ninja: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've stuck to the pre-RIAA involvement version of 1.6 Build 474 due to my paranoia :ninja: The new version of utorrent is completely safe, anyone thinking the RIAA is spying on them and sticking to an older version is just being stupid an irrational.

(Y) Because the RIAA doesn't need you to use any specific torrent client to be able to spy on you. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrashG Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 I was (untill I uninstaled it) having problems with v1.8 adding more than one torrent. I had it open and downloading one thing, then I opened another torrent file and it said something about uTorrent already being open, and it used to just add it to the que in v1.7.

ThePitt Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Thanks for the new final link Just to remind you guys (in case you have forgot or to the ppl who doesnt know) that μTorrent was sold to BitTorrent, Inc. (which company has partnerships with some 60 companies like 20th Century Fox, Paramount, Warner Brothers, Lionsgate Films, etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViperAFK Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 The RIAA/MPAA is not hiding in the new versions of utorrent that is ridiculous, just because they have been sold to bittorrent does not mean they are spying on you. Besides no matter what torrent client you use your ip is publicly broadcasted. They can see what you are doing no matter what client you use. And just because bittorrent sells legal movies does not mean they are "in bed" with the MPAA/RIAA. Besides they would drive a way TONS of users if they did something stupid like including a backdoor in utorrent. They just wouldn't risk doing that.
