uTorrent 1.8 Build 11962 Beta

µTorrent 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.

µTorrent is now better than ever! This release brings many fixes and new features, highlights being: greatly improved connectivity with peers (and thus better transfer rates) along with support for language translations. µTorrent is now available in English, Swedish and French. Technical information about translating µTorrent to your native language will be made available shortly. Also check out the programs new about window! Get it from the download section.
