rjc862003 Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 ok @ mods before you go locking this topic please read it some Ok when BitTorrent Aquired Utorrent ever one was in a Uprour over this or that I have been useing Utorrent since 1.5 and have been useing the 1.8 beta since the first versionand as of build 11564 1.8 I don't see any reasion to fear the change (yet)there are a few things 1. utorrent has put on some weight from 246kb binary Size to 260k not much of a increase when compaired to all the cool stuff thats been fixed/add'dand still Uber small 2. memory useage is just a TaD higher but not enough to spit at ( again well worth the 1mb more usege for all the stuff we get)3. Stablity NO ISSUES I Can Run For days as i Could with 1.7all in all I need to ask all of you WHAT THE f*** where you all B1tc*ing about looks like all the uproar with all for nothing (but we will see what 1.8.xx brings) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelittlefire Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 Why would they lock a topic.. especially since there's a WHOLE locked forum for the Bittorrent, Inc. acquisition of uTorrent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjc862003 Posted August 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 with all the crap that has been related to the disscussion of this If i was a mod I would lock it on first Sight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 Everyone that was really worried tended to assume the worst.If uTorrent has any phone-home features, they have to be pretty small and innocuous...as some testers have been doing wireshark logs for stuff like ISP throttling and would probably notice packets to uTorrent.comI personally disable gui.bypass_search_redirect in advanced settings...not so much because it's phone-home as it's just more bandwidth wasted for something I don't want.

thelittlefire Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 Okey. Well I didn't notice the increased memory footprint. I do know it uses 100-200 KiB more RAM per torrent loaded, but that allows more data storage and it doesn't leak like a sieve anymore, so that's the BIG PLUS compared to even 1.7. Additional perks include magnet: support ability to bypass windows memory management, and fixes for those newer OSes (server 2008.. and I bet sometime soon, windows 7).

rjc862003 Posted August 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 I would like a SSE1/SSE2 optimized build for those us on hardware made in the past decade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelittlefire Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 ... optimization leads to less compatibility. Don't think it'll happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 Optimization for what? A modern CPU can hash check way faster than virtually all disks out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firon Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 I know what SSE is, but it's useless for a torrent client. And it makes things needlessly complex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 Compartmentalized multi-threading is IMMENSELY more important than SSE support.After all, we wouldn't want hash checking to stall other features in uTorrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
