Keep in mind that the code for 7100 is already outdated. The latest internal build is likely even more stable and could have a few more minor last minute improvements.

Yes, that's why I said I'm more interested in Build 7115 from the winmain trunk :yes:

btw: 1000 posts! :woot: :hump:

Hopefully it will get posted on Connect so us tech beta testers will actually get something before the public does, like its supposed to be. I have never understood Sinofsky's reasoning behind "it takes to long to prepare a build" for beta testers so we just won't give them anything. During the Vista beta we got tons of builds, I can understand how THAT would of wasted alot of time that could of been used to fix bugs but not giving us at least one official private build is just rediculous. I mean obviously MS is probably the one behind all these leaks but if they already have all these builds to give out why not give them out officially. CTPs don't have to be thoroughly tested and thats what these leaks are basically.

Sorry if Im sounding like a broken record. Im sure plenty of people have already asked this question.

Oh of course it is total BS. Just look at the fact that one may wonder where a lot of these leaks have come from. The answer is OEMs / TAPs. 'Preparing' a build for testers is an excuse. Testers are here to test buggy bits and report all problems back for microsoft to fix. The more bugs the better. I say less 'preparation' is better.

Not to mention they never have addressed a valid argument many have brought up which is if the official connect testers remain loyal and do not install a leaked build, yet we got beta 1 and then recieve the RC which is 'sealed' and thus no feedback (bugs) can be addressed before its passed off publicly (which it well will) and its the same 'sealed' build then we are pretty much worthless to microsoft. Mainly because reporting bugs on beta 1 there is so much fixed between that and the RC that it doesnt matter. Not to mention but what if one was to find a showstopper (which i consider the mp3 bug to have been) etc. and since its signed off and sealed we can not provide feedback to it be fixed before its released publicly. Thats lame but something that could have been caught if we were getting our monthly/semi-monthly drops as we were back during the longhorn/vista beta.

So in closing the excuses they say about not giving us regular builds is just BS to cover the fact that sinofsky runs the show differently and with him running it testers get the raw end of the stick. They will never openly admit to that, but we and they know its the truth. Thats why they aren't as vigorous in hunting down and stopping leakers as they used to be because they even think that we are getting an unfair bit, but cant say it themselves.

Hopefully this is just a phase where since Win7 is just evolutionary release from Vista there isn't "as" much need to have as much "official" help outside the inner circle of MVPs and ISVs, with bugs as they did with the Vista program. So when they decide to have another revolutionary release like they did with Win95 or Vista they will be all open arms again welcoming all the old testers back with all the builds they can muster.

But, I'm sure thats just wishful thinking, its probably going to be the opposite where the Windows tech beta program will become identical to the Office program where all the beta testers are either MVPs or TAP, because of all the information leaks they had such as builds leaking, emails leaking, etc. They would kick anyone off the beta if you got caught leaking that stuff but now they are leaking this stuff on their own. The days of the real Windows beta tester are gone.

It's been quite dead on connect recently and no wonder considering how old beta build is now :/. If we don't even get free product key for RTM anymore then I won't bother participating Win 8 Beta.

Oh well, at least I got free hardware from Media Center team.

I don't think they will give us RTM keys but definitely they will give us RC keys.

Yes... obviously...

Um yea, if you do require further explanation... I had 2 thread windows open, and was posting a reply, and did it in the.. wrong thread...

No, no further explanation needed. Obviously your reference is to the fact that you *posted* in the wrong thread. Really though...what else could you possibly mean here?? I fail to see so other reasonable way that this could be interpreted.

Oh. I did not know that. I don't think that will happen this time. We will be getting RC keys 100% though!

It's an unnecessary time and effort for MS to distribute new keys. Simplicity is key, so MS gave out those volume license keys for beta and they still work for RC. I am sure MS did this knowing it would get leaked and bittorrent saves them bandwidth costs in the long run.

    • BATorrent 3.0.2

      By Copernic · Posted

      BATorrent 3.0.2 by Razvan Serea BATorrent is a lightweight, open-source BitTorrent client built with modern C++ and Qt 6, offering a clean, fast, and privacy-focused alternative to traditional torrent apps. It supports magnet links, .torrent files, resume data, sequential downloading, per-file priorities, and even imports from qBittorrent. Power users benefit from integrated RSS auto-download with regex filtering, duplicate detection, and automatic tracker lists from Stremio. Streaming is seamless thanks to auto-detected players like VLC and IINA. BATorrent includes robust VPN tools—interface binding, auto-detection for WireGuard-based services like Mullvad and NordLynx, kill switch, proxy support, and IP filtering. A full WebUI enables remote control, while integrations with Plex, Jellyfin, and Emby automate library updates. With themes, speed scheduling, system-tray alerts, and cross-platform support for Windows, Linux, and macOS, BATorrent delivers a polished, high-performance torrenting experience. BATorrent features: Core .torrent file and magnet link support Resume data — picks up where you left off after restart Import torrents from qBittorrent Create .torrent files from any file or folder Sequential download mode Per-file priority control (skip, low, normal, high) Seed ratio limits with auto-pause DHT, PEX, UPnP, NAT-PMP RSS Auto-Download Subscribe to RSS feeds — automatically download new torrents as they appear Regex filters — match only what you want (e.g. 1080p|720p, S01E\d+) Per-feed settings — custom save path, check interval (5–1440 min), enable/disable Auto-download — matched items are downloaded automatically in the background Supports magnet links, .torrent URLs, and tags Tray notifications when items are auto-downloaded Duplicate detection — never downloads the same item twice Stremio Stremio Addon System pre-installed — works out of the box Auto tracker list from ngosang/trackerslist Streaming Play while downloading — stream video files before the download is complete Supports mp4, mkv, avi, mov, wmv, flv, webm, m4v, ts Auto-detects installed players (VLC, IINA, system default) VPN & Privacy Interface binding — lock torrent traffic to a specific network interface (e.g. tun0) Auto VPN detection — identifies VPN interfaces (tun, tap, WireGuard, Mullvad, NordLynx, ProtonVPN) Kill switch — automatically pauses all torrents if the VPN interface drops Auto-resume — resumes only the torrents paused by the kill switch when VPN reconnects Proxy support — SOCKS5 and HTTP proxy with optional authentication IP filtering — load P2P blocklists to block unwanted IP ranges Protocol encryption (enabled / forced / disabled) WebUI Remote management — control torrents from any browser at http://localhost:8080 REST API with JSON responses Add torrents via magnet link or .torrent upload Pause, resume, remove torrents remotely View peers and files per torrent Dark theme matching the desktop app HTTP Basic Auth with SHA-256 password hashing Configurable port and remote access (localhost vs 0.0.0.0) Interface 3 themes: Dark, Light, Midnight (bat/vampire aesthetic) Real-time speed graph Detailed panel with tabs: General, Peers, Files, Trackers Filter bar: search by name, filter by state (Active, Downloading, Seeding, Paused, Finished) Drag & drop .torrent files and magnet links Drag & drop reorder in torrent list System tray with notifications (download complete, kill switch events, RSS auto-downloads) Splash screen with bat animation Bilingual: English and Portuguese (BR), auto-detected from system locale Bandwidth Scheduler Alternative speed limits — set different download/upload limits on a schedule Time range — configure active hours (e.g. 01:00 to 07:00), supports overnight ranges Per-day control — choose which days of the week the schedule applies Automatically switches between normal and alternative speeds Media Server Integration Plex — automatically trigger library scan when a download completes Jellyfin / Emby — same automatic library refresh via API Configure server URL and authentication token/key in Settings System Cross-platform: Windows, Linux, macOS Auto-shutdown — automatically shut down PC when all downloads complete (60s cancellable countdown) Auto-update system (AppImage on Linux, installer on Windows, DMG on macOS) CLI arguments: pass .torrent files or magnet: URIs directly Keyboard shortcuts: Space to toggle pause, Ctrl+A to select all, Ctrl+O to open BATorrent 3.0.2 changelog: Phone pairing & WebUI The browser WebUI was reskinned to match the desktop app — same dark palette, Inter font, flat surfaces, the real BATorrent logo (it was a random bat before), and a proper magnet icon. It now looks like the same product, not a separate dashboard. Pairing is one tap and zero typing: the generated WebUI password is now copyable, and the QR code carries the credentials — scanning it from your phone logs straight in (no typing the IP or password), then drops the credentials from the address bar. Search Two new providers: RuTor (CIS sources, no login, via a public TorAPI relay) and Torrents-CSV. Results are sorted by seeders (healthiest first), and each search now times out after 15 s so one dead provider can't hang the UI. Files & trackers Per-file priority is back: right-click a file in the detail panel to set Skip / Low / Normal / High. Rename an individual file inside a torrent (double-click or the file menu), separate from renaming the torrent. Remove a tracker from a torrent (the ✕ on a tracker row); adding was already there. Smart Paste on Ctrl+V — paste a magnet, a 40-char info-hash, or a .torrent URL straight from the clipboard and it's added immediately (text fields still paste text normally). Covers & titles Anime fansub naming ([Group] Title - NN) now resolves to the right show. Audio channel layouts in titles (DDP5.1, 7.1, …) are stripped so they don't pollute cover matching. Under the hood The legacy QWidget interface is gone. QML had been the only UI since 3.0.0 (reachable old code lived behind a hidden --legacy flag); with parity confirmed, the entire QWidget layer — main window, every dialog, the theme manager — was removed (~13,400 lines). The four restored actions above were features that backend already supported but the QML port had never wired. macOS: the WebUI password hash moved out of the keychain into app settings, so launching the app no longer pops a login-keychain password prompt on unsigned builds. The actual password still lives in the keychain. Cleanup: ~400 orphaned translation strings and a batch of dead code removed; internal duplication collapsed; an ARCHITECTURE.md added for contributors. Unit / security / memory tests and the ASan/UBSan/TSan sanitizers stay green.

      How about a global switch to turn the awful things off instead of a registry hack? Then everyone wins.

      This doesn't strike me as so shocking when... " IT admins do have some control over this rollout. If they choose to opt out, devices in their tenant won't automatically get the dreaded Copilot app"
