I was using μTorrent since 1.0.x and stopped upgrading from 2.2.1 (build 25302). I'm just deeply disappointed that it's initial philosophy: "Out of general discontent with bloatware, Serge Paquet suggested to Ludvig Strigeus that he should make a smaller and more efficient BitTorrent client." (source: Wikipedia) was ironically so badly overturned....

µTorrent 1.4.2 build 428 (old icons) exe = 145932 B MEM occupied (no torrents) = 4,700 KB µTorrent 1.4.2 build 434 (new icons) exe = 158147 B MEM occupied (no torrents) = 5,124 KB Features gained: - Feature: Reorder RSS favorites - Feature: If user is running from temporary internet files, prompt to install it. - Feature: Added popup menu to easily change if the scheduler/dht is enabled. - Feature: New easter egg - Feature: RSS Help button - Feature: Use icons instead of network ok/nat error - Feature: Auto detect read cache size - Feature: Language file can be auto updated - Feature: Keys can be used in main listview to move to the right item Bytes gained: exe +12,215 B MEM occupied +424 KB Ok, maybe I exaggerated, but I'm afraid Ludde is concentrating on insignificant things instead of implementing one of the most wanted features: proxy support for p2p communication.

From the last stable release this beta inflated 25 KB and as i saw this fact is the result of icons included, and not much for the functionality. Ludde please keep out the drawings, keep it micro, µTorrent was great even without those icons. Instead would be great to have proxy support for p2p communication.
