?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)

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.

    • Using Windows 10 past its end of support date, is it really that bad?

      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.
