And a spanking new icon.

That scales properly

I've been using the Beta of this for a month or so... gonna install the proper version now!!

Yup. Old icon was nice but too jaggedy for me.

Its all well and good having a huge changelog, but until 1.8.1 you still won't be able to add an automatic script execution at finish by default! Major failing personally, as i want to auto unRAR, i wish they'd include some kind o unpacking option, but if not at least give me the opportunity to script something in!

Leperous, what i do is choose a 'move to folder x' on completion

then i have 'see and be' auto-unpacking that dir to another location

I don't really use torrents other than for downloading the odd demo / wow mirrors in case the HTTP ones are down and so could someone explain the tinfoil hat reference

Some retards think that because uTorrent is now part of BitTorrent, Inc. that it includes code that tells the MPAA/RIAA/other types when you're downloading pirated material.

Ahhh, might have a look into this, its still not a very elegant solution though you must agree Kinda annoying, also how does uTorrent cope with something else accessing rars while its still sharing them, i can imagine somethings going to complain!

If the torrent and .rar's are complete then you can unrar them while they are still shared.

My god I've been using bit lord for torrents and the past few months the speeds of downloads have been awful. Always blamed my internet connection, using utorrent and the downloads are super quick!

Got a link or sauce for the 1.8.1 info?

 

[LeperousDust]

Do you prefer red or brown?

Of course it doesnt have such code, it just reports back and tells bitorrent Inc what files you are downloading ,
its doesnt differentiate between illegal or legal , it reports back them all.

And just because Bittorrent is in bed with the Mpaa/Riaa/Bsa
doesnt mean they will pass this info on to them , so little trust in the world these days.
