I, too will yield them the benefit of the doubt. Don't misinterpret my statement to indicate that I consider this anything like the scale and scope of the Vuze idiocy. While the current problems and decisions are not something I choose to live with at the moment, I haven't turned my back on µTorrent just yet. As I said, 2.2.1 remains my preferred client.

So true. I used Azureus up until the Vuze fiasco. The second I heard the phrase "content delivery platform", I ditched it and never looked back. I'm using a BT client to transfer torrents and, to a lesser extent, to manage those torrents while downloading or seeding them. That's all. Fortunately, µTorrent 2.2.1 still does that well for me. I'll stick with that, for now.

I finally uninstalled build 25234 today and went back to 2.2.1. All the crashing/data issues and new UI design were too much for me. My columns got all all jacked up and I couldn't quite get them back. Removing the ability to double-click on an unfinished torrent to play it was uncool; I used that heavily. Streaming is okay, though it is more cumbersome than just letting me open a file when I want to preview it in VLC. The last straw was all the broken torrents. Force-recheck on a terabyte of data is something my box doesn't need to be doing several times a day. While I understand that this is a relatively early beta, it is just too painful for me to keep using. Thanks for all the work, I'll be back in 6 months to see how 3.x progressed.
