I like how the developers participate in the forums there. It actually makes you feel like they care about what the people want.

trickytwista Posted October 2, 2005 Posted October 2, 2005 ts nota bad tool.. i finding it ok atm, cheers
DigeratiPrime Posted October 3, 2005 Posted October 3, 2005 thanks for the update i really like this program. I still have BitComet because thats always worked the best, but I suspect this program and its rapid updates will soon become the dominant torrent client.
Scubar Posted October 3, 2005 Posted October 3, 2005 Im very impressed with uTorrent. the first couple of released did have some major bugs but it seems to have come along way in a short time. theres only a couple more features that i would like included to make it perfect, the DHT being the main one. Especially if it can support both BitComet and Azureus ways of doing it. just a shame the icon for it sucks. but that doesnt matter as i made one anyway which can be found Here
XtremeMaC Posted October 3, 2005 Posted October 3, 2005 i've started using it too since 1.1its pretty good & fast. max file size i dled was around 300mb so i dunno what happens at GB's worth of data but i'm sure its the same..
Scubar Posted October 3, 2005 Posted October 3, 2005 downloaded a few 4gb torrents with it and not one problem. there was one slight bug with the file priority section but thats been fixed in 1.1.3. Overall i could see it becoming a very popular BT client providing development continues at a steady pace. even better would be if they made it open source so that a few other good coders can start work on getting DHT and maybe an RSS reader built in.
SiMoNsAyS Posted October 3, 2005 Posted October 3, 2005 it just depends on how much bloat they include on the next version downloaded about 10gb without any problems (d/l ratio was about 1:1). in general i'm really satisfied with it and has replaced ABC as my default .torrents client
Scubar Posted October 3, 2005 Posted October 3, 2005 agreed. the DHT and RSS are the only two things that i can think of that i would like to see built in. apart from that some general touch ups and improvements on the core and it will be everything you would need.
Cee-Kay Posted October 3, 2005 Posted October 3, 2005 Great find prathapml! Cheers buddy Just downloaded uTorrent now, but i'm definately gonna give it a test drive. Certinaly looks like their onto a winner here, especially if they keep the client as small as possible.The UI looks very similar to Azureus, yet uses a lot less system resources, looks like I've found a new BitTorrent client!
Martin L Posted October 4, 2005 Posted October 4, 2005 connecting speed to peers improved ALOT! using it as first dl program now
