uTorrent 2.0 for Windows sheds the beta tag, goes RTM!
uTorrent has been the world's most popular BitTorrent app for quite some time, and today its developers announced another big milestone: version 2.0 has dropped the beta tag.
While many uTorrent users haven't been shy about updating to beta or RC builds, the general public seems to prefer the reassurance of the RTM stamp. If you count yourself among that group, you'll be glad to know that you can now download the new stable release from the uTorrent website or a number of mirrors (like Filehippo).
Yes, the installer still offers the Ask.com toolbar -- so make sure you pay attention to the screens as you click through the install if you don't want the toolbar installed.
One thing a lot of users forget about uTorrent is that it's skinnable -- so why not download a new theme for your new 2.0 install while you're at it?

BT is dead. (And µTorrent is becoming bloated. Funny.)

I wondered how long it would take you to post, Tux...I was going to start a pool, but you commented before I had a chance to hit 'send' ;)

Oo interesting. Wonder if there are improvements to the webUI?
I loves the webUI but would like to sort by "Date Completed" to see what came in last night. You can on the win UI, but not the web one.

how can it be RTM? which pc maker is gonna to ship their machine with a bittorent client?

Since you're asking, RTM is also "release to marketing" not just "manufacturing."

thx for replying but it still doesnt make sense cause there isnt much marketing going on
