Thats nice to see. But, lets prepare for another barrage of users bitching about their speed problems aswell ;)

Haha thats a nice way of looking at it.

One thing i really like is the developers really listen to the users and are active in forums

I hope that continues even in the future.

ROFL at you lot!

:rolleyes:

I'm new to utorrent -- attracted by the Slyck article -- after using Tornado, Azureus, TorrentStorm and ABC over the years and I'm very impressed by the az-like features and non-az-like efficient use of resources.

(I've just switched seeding a torrent from ABC to utorrent and seen the memory usage fall from over 18MB to less than 2MB!)

There are always likely to be a few opportunities for improvement in such a 'young' client and it does the developers great credit that they read and participate in this forum.

Well done, folks!

p2pnet "development manager" here.

Yes, I know the article on uTorrent was short. My "bloody brilliant" comment was an initial reaction after using uTorrent for about half and hour. During that time I found it to be one of the best BT clients I've used. :)

Expect to see more coverage of uTorrent on p2pnet in future, including a more detailed review.

I also found utorrent after reading the article in Slyck. I have a laptop that goes from my cable modem/router at home to my network at work. I've probably tried 20 different clients trying to get decent download speeds at work. I had been using BitComet because I got the best speeds, but it wasn't reporting my statistics correctly. I was downloading a torrent here at work last night with utorrent at 80 kB/s, something I haven't seen since the now defunct PTC client. The user interface is informative, but not cluttered. I downloaded 1.1.3 a few days ago. Turned it on the next day and it updated to 1.1.4. Cool. I knew a client like this would come along someday. Thank You.
