smashguy Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 (edited) ?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. With BitTorrent, you can download files faster and contribute by sharing files and bandwidth. Release Notes:> uTP has been improved significantly over the previous alpha, with many bugs fixed and performance improvements. It's no longer hidden in Advanced settings. The setup dialog has been overhauled to make it much easier to use and with a built-in speed test. It's still not quite complete yet, but this will give you a good taste of what we're up to with it! Transfer caps are now configurable, with usage tracking and graphs. Changelog:> Change: disable toolbar offers for Wine installs Feature: New Setup guide & Speedtest. Change: uninstaller is added to all user profiles Fix: crash when assigning new label to torrents from RSS Change: Incomplete downloads sort after completed downloads if sorting by "Completed On" Feature: Add Moldova to peer flags Change: Added upnp host cache to speed up upnp nat resolution on misbehaving routers Fix: maintain category list selection on update for some edge cases Change: if selected, install start menu and desktop shortcuts to all users instead of only current user Feature: Grayscale disabled toolbar buttons Fix: fixed uTP selective ack bug (would cause connections to stall and time out) Fix: fixed uTP fast re-send bug (would sometimes re-send packets that shouldn't be re-sent) Change: prompt to take associations in installer only if any others exist Fix: buffer overrun vulnerability in create torrent dialog Fix: uTP recovers faster after timeout Feature: uTP supports window sizes smaller than the packet size Change: reduced uTP overhead slightly by ramping up packet sizes at lower rates Feature: enable and disable toolbar buttons according to selected torrents Change: UAC must be completed to install in Vista or higher Fix: memory leaks in main window, protocol associations, settings dialog, general tab Change: Tweaks to Ask toolbar offer Feature: UDP tracker support Fix: only change run on startup if installer is shown Change: added support for 3:rd party applications to more easily be configured to access the uTorrent web UI, i.e. to pair the applications Fix: make "alternate upload rate when seeding" apply when the seeding is set by the scheduler Fix: align "Web Seeds" in torrent creation dialog Fix: translated strings in uninstaller Fix: http seeds would not reconnect after stopping and starting torrent Fix: http seed for multifile torrents Fix: regression in 15562 that caused frequent crashes Feature: New installer with EULA, file association Fix: uTP issue on low-latency high-throughput networks Fix: copying long filenames to clipboard no longer results in garbage or crash Fix: fixed web seed support for multi-file torrents Change: torrent whose "Force Recheck" is greyed out will not recheck when asked through multi-torrent selections Fix: when adding torrents through URLs via commandline, we would always open the add torrent dialog Fix: handle multi file torrents with web seed urls that incorrectly don't end with a slash Fix: make sure web seed urls end with a slash for multifile torrents Fix: setup Vista firewall Fix: remove settings on Vista during un-installation Feature: New "Transfer Cap" pane in Preferences Feature: uTP can be enabled or disabled using "Enable bandwidth management" checkbox in Preferences Fix: Check at startup for incompatible versions of NVIDIA nForce firewall News source: Official website Download: ?Torrent 2.0 - Beta Edited August 5, 2009 by smashguy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtrftw Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Cool, thanks, but will wait for final. Why? It's not like it's a mission critical app. Would be very easy to go back to another version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

way2quik Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 major improvement is UDP tracker support. Unless, it was already implemented in all those previous betas. Transfer caps are now configurable, with usage tracking and graphs. Are graphs really necessary now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Code.Red Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Why? And what version do they say you can use? Private trackers generally whitelist clients that they know work correctly- things like they contact the tracker when they are supposed to, they don't lie about their stats, treat all peers fairly, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AltecXP Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 I found a bug already.. I have no torrents running and my "Transfer Cap" inside the preferences panel keeps counting up... Maybe it tracks ALL bandwidth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BinaryFragger Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 Maybe it tracks ALL bandwidth. That's what I thought too at first, but I downloaded a 1MB file with Firefox yet ?Torrent's Transfer Cap bandwidth history only increased by about 0.1kB. I quickly checked the ?Torrent forums and didn't find any info about this new feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belazor Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 @BinaryFragger: Not a new feature, nor a bug. Sometimes, even in 1.8.3, you'll see your seeding torrents have 0.1 kb/sec download. It's ?Torrent receiving data and it's being overly sensitive about counting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisCanada Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 Private trackers generally whitelist clients that they know work correctly- things like they contact the tracker when they are supposed to, they don't lie about their stats, treat all peers fairly, etc. I'm on a bunch of private trackers and the latest version of uTorrent is always appreciated. A large chunk of us were using 1.9 Alpha due to the uTP support. What did happen to 1.9 anyways? Never came out of alpha and they just skipped right up to 2.0?

Comic Book Guy Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 (edited) What did happen to 1.9 anyways? Never came out of alpha and they just skipped right up to 2.0? Things like that happen quite often in the software industry, there were probably enough changes in the 1.9 Alphas to make it a major version change.

Southern Patriot Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Weird thing is that this isn't showing up in the autoupdate on the program (yes, I have it set to update to beta versions). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
