uTorrent (Mac Beta) is now available...


Recommended Posts

Yeah, I've heard this, too. It must be an unlisted Universal Binary.

mephisto:~ fpbecker$ lipo -i /Applications/uTorrent.app/Contents/MacOS/uTorrent 
Architectures in the fat file: /Applications/uTorrent.app/Contents/MacOS/uTorrent are: i386 ppc7400

so any reason to move from Transmission, as I am not really having any issues with it?

Well, I'm getting better speeds through uTorrent - seeds are being picked up much faster and I'm getting a better connection out of them. And as giga said earlier the column view is far more usable than Transmission's list view.

Using it now, and I have to say I'm impressed. The interface is clean, simple, and the torrent list is very economical when it comes to space.

I'd like to see some badging for the uTorrent dock icon, though.

This just might get me to switch from Transmission, though I have yet to do a more in-depth comparison regarding performance.

so I used uTorrent for a bit, but felt dirty for using it over Transmission :\ had to go back.

:laugh: too funny

I'm getting used to uTorrent...it is much lighter on resources. Very nice for an initial release, we'll see how it progresses.

This is what I'd prefer uTorrent to look like:

Nice work. Send it off.

As for uTorrent, I'm loving it.

It's such a clean, simple interface, where everything is accessible in one place. I love the way the torrents are listed. It feels very light and it seems to play better with my router configs.

I'm jealous @ the Mac version. It looks like sex.

All OS X Applications are visually superior to Windows Applications in my opinion, but thats because Apple have some pretty big rules on what you can and cant do with their System. They like everything to look the same/similar so that users wont get confused everytime they move to another application or install something new.

I think is a great idea, but I also see the downside of it.

    • Hello, I have used a few TEAM Group SSDs, USB flash drives, and Micro SDXC cards in the past. They all seemed to work fine. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
    • "just $100 per TB"? Just? Are we trying to make this seem like the new normal? Kinda weird to make it sound like that is not a ridiculously expensive asking price.
    • The reviews you refer to mean nothing. Where there is no journalism there is no reason to call the gaming media's opinion pieces "reviews". For GP games there is indeed a metric for success - increasing subscriptions. Which turns in revenue. The only circumstance in which subs do not rise when great is being released is a Game Pass system where the company is close to fully saturated with customers in a subscription. However, in that case as the theory goes you spend aplenty in all kind of games - from shady live service cash cows and customer offending agitprop crap in purple colours to robust and entertaining single player games. And keep a solid level of profitability. Ignoring the simply innocuous but mid games MGS has released primarily of the second kind.
    • Report: Microsoft to use AWS to help GitHub deal with a major surge in demand by Pradeep Viswanathan Thanks to the surge of coding AI agents, GitHub's usage has skyrocketed over the past 12 months. To meet this demand, GitHub started with a plan in October 2025 to increase capacity by 10x. However, by early this year, the company realized that it needed 30x scale. This rapid growth has caused severe strain on the platform's reliability, resulting in several small outages over the past few months. In April, GitHub published a long blog post explaining the steps it is taking to resolve these reliability issues. In the post, the company also confirmed that it is working toward a multi-cloud architecture for better resilience. Today, Business Insider reported that GitHub is turning to Amazon Web Services to help deal with a major surge in AI-driven coding activity. It is important to note that GitHub is still in the process of moving completely to the Azure cloud. The current plan is to move the platform fully to Azure by 2027 so that it can scale better as per developer demand. Therefore, the current decision to utilize AWS might be part of a short-term plan to meet immediate demand. A Microsoft spokesperson confirmed that GitHub is using multiple cloud providers with the following statement: For Microsoft, the decision highlights the operational pressure behind the AI boom. GitHub has to stay reliable for developers at a time when rivals such as Codex, Cursor, Claude Code, and other AI coding tools are gaining attention. And the decision to use AWS for computing capacity seems practical given the circumstances.
    • It's growing on me, however, your right, it make better usability sense if the tabs were bellow the address bar.
