Changelog:

• uTP (UDP torrenting) is added and enabled by default.
  
• has real-time transfer rate control and latency minimization.
  
• will probably download slower than 1.8.1, particularly if the entire swarm is 1.8.1.

thanks. But I think im gonna wait for another build / version before jumping onto this band wagon again. Last time the updates were too quick, then paused too long.

I also don't like the download slower part.

[qdave]

yep its probably better to wait :p nice additions though.

[Lee]

Definitely going to wait this one out. :)

Looking at the uTorrent forums this new alpha looks really unstable, so we'll better wait for some newer build.

[Rudy]

what's going on with the osx version?

[scratch42069]

I'll wait until 1.9 hits Beta status before using it. I get annoyed with things that don't work right or need improving in the Alphas and 1.8.1 works just fine for me atm.

Will the final 1.9 download as fast as 1.8?

I see no reason why it should be slower.

UDP = No more throttling :) for now

throttling is here and strong. I know this because I use to use bitcomet.

Read that question again to yourself 5 times, think hard, and you'll have your answer.

Downloads slower :/ that's not a very good feature lol.

A lot more secure though, I believe.

When people upgrade from 1.8 to 1.9, it'll speed up. That's the theory anyway.
