µTorrent 1.4 released

A

Azzman

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.

With BitTorrent, you can download files faster and contribute by sharing
files and bandwidth.

The most notable new features are:

* Bitcomet style add dialog
* RSS Reader
* Speed wizard to select your proper settings based on upload speed.

Some other much requested features that have been added are:

* Add !ut to incomplete files
* Multi scrape
* Better download speeds from BitComet clients.
