[µTorrent 3.0 (32-bit) Stable Release]

I remain hopeful that the uTorrent team won't make the same mistake >.<

I am having significant issues with this build, but that has happened to me before during beta phases. Benefit of the doubt for now

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.

utorrent is turning into vuze. Used to be good, then it turned into a program that wasn't verygood.

We don't want cute features, we just want to download stuff.

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.
