Miro 2.5
About two weeks after launching Miro 2.5 RC 1, the folks behind the open source internet media browser and player have taken off the release candidate label.

The program lets you find, download, and view media from a number of sources. That covers RSS feeds for audio and video podcasts, BitTorrent downloads, and web video from sites like Hulu. Version 2.5 includes a ton of updates, including:
  • Improved speed (Miro claims version 2.5 is 4 times faster than Miro 2.0)
  • A new audio podcast section in the Miro Guide
  • Better audio playback interface
  • Easy download link for YouTube videos
  • New keyboard shortcuts
Miro 2.5 is available for Windows, Mac, and Linux.
