µTorrent 2.0 beta released
The latest stable version of the popular Bittorrent client µTorrent is version 1.83. But the developers decided that the next major release packed in too much to simply call it µTorrent 1.9, so the next version will be called version 2.0. And µTorrent 2.0 beta is already available for download.
The update brings:

The update brings:
- Support for UDP trackers, a new protocol for BitTorrent trackers that uses less CPU power on the tracker end
- Improved setup dialog with built-in speed test
- Transfer Cap options that help you track and control how much data you transfer (which helps if your ISP caps your data transfer rates)

Still won't beat eMule. BTW, Halite is clearly the better BT client.

You are wrong. Not just that, you seem confused. How is eMule a bit torrent replacement at all? I invite you to check your ignorance at the door and do the following:
1. Install uTorrent
2. Go to a legitimate torrent site and start a legitimate download.
3. Go into your system to see how much of the resources are taken up.
4. Notice that this is an incredibly elegant solution that might be the best coded application that has ever been written.

It's µTorrent. I didn't count it as an "eMule alternative" BTW.
About the resource usage: Halite doesn't take much RAM either. µTorrent is proprietary, bloated software. Compared to Halite, at least.

@der_tuxman: You seem to be living in world where time runs backward. You know, a world where the technically advanced things (BitTorrent) come first and, step by step, mankind becomes more and more primitive and uses older and older technology (Emule).
I assume it must be an interesting experience, but, personally, I prefer my orientation of the timeline.

Older technology doesn't mean it has to be worse technology. BT will never be a choice for me as long as it has a short file lifetime and no global (!) search function!

PLEASE explain to me how you can consider µTorrent a bloated application taking 282kb of space, and 15MB of RAM with over 50 active torrents.
