µTorrent is a really small Windows BitTorrent client that does what it does very well. There are not a lot of fancy bells and whistles, but for an 82 kb executable that when running consumes less than 2 MB of RAM, you get a lot in that small package. Although RSS is not a feature in µTorrent, it does have the ability to throttle itself based on times of the day, and uses a very intuitive user interface to do so. In fact, the user interface in µTorrent is very clean throughout. Good things do indeed come in small packages.

The downloadsquad.com/rss.xml doesn't validate because of the micro entity present in this news.

Thanks Jason, for giving the word out and encouraging simple and small applications. µTorrent runs like a charm and has now found a home on my hard disk.
It reminds me the "good" old days of assembler programming where one measured features in terms of bytes used, unlike today's KB and MB.

UTORRENT IS A POWERFUL MOVEMENT.
^^^^^NEVER LIES
^^^^^I REALLY MEAN IT
I just loaded 100-odd torrents into it, it took forever checking the files one at a time, but it never used more than 14mb of memory, and actually only used 2-5 mb most of the time. this is my new default torrent client.
