Download µTorrent 1.7 beta build 2248

Version 1.7 of the popular BitTorrent client µTorrent is in development and a new version is released every few days. Yesterday, on the last day of May, version 1.7 build 2248 was released. Recently, the program has also been able to update to new beta releases, but what you miss are of course the changelogs, so a visit to the Meuktracker is still necessary. Since the previous entry in the Meuktracker we are already seven beta builds further and below are all the changes that have been made to the program in the meantime:

Version 1.7 (Build 2248)

• Change: uTorrent now no longer forks on uninstallation so it should correctly be removed from add/remove programs on windows 95 varieties
• Change: include all adapters in subnet search for local peers
• Change: consider peers in reserved local ranges as local peers
• Change: don’t limit local peers by default
• Change: sort RSS release qualities
• Fix: download rate limiting bug
• Fix: fix a bug with force recheck from 2224

Version 1.7 (Build 2228)

• Feature: allow > 65k pieces in the torrent creator (if piece size is >= 1mB)

Version 1.7 (Build 2224)

• Feature: support > 65535 pieces (now 4294967295 is max)
• Change: don’t turn off “check association on startup” if the user says no to the dialog (use the settings to turn it off)
• Change: Display an error dialog if the user types in an invalid path on a single file torrent for the “…” button
• Change: case insensitive hosts in flags.conf
• Change: RSS title parsing
• Change: Implement home, end, pageup, and pagedown selection with shift or control keys in the addtorrent dialog treeview
• Change: Some changes to make up, down, home, end, pageup, and pagedown keys in the addtorrent dialog treeview behave more like the old listview
• Fix: fix duplication connection race condition
• Fix: in filenames, replace trailing spaces with underscores (since Windows does not allow it)
• Fix: repair settings files with duplicate entries (and log about it)
• Fix: rss.start_matches broken with certain settings
• Fix: Dump memory info crash on Vista
• Fix: Would end up not rate limiting local peers if already connected before discovery and they were not on the local subnet

Version 1.7 (Build 2151)

• Change: Remove a hack that was put in for Wine’s getsockname() in build 2132; it didn’t work correctly
• Fix: multifile torrents and url-list (still unsupported, but log instead of crash

Version 1.7 (Build 2145)

• Change: Swap tvRSS in to the search engine list, because it’s awesome
• Change: Minor gui tweak and text removal
• Fix: crash introduced in 2132

Version 1.7 (Build 2132)

• Change: RSS title parsing
• Change: Detect external IP

Version 1.7 (Build 1977)

• Change: use radio marks for Bandwidth Allocation menu items instead of check marks
• Fix: When installing to user profile directory uTorrent now tries to be smarter in choosing a localized program files directory name
• Fix: Work around a Wine bug where getsockname() returns success but keeps passed in port at 0 if socket already bound; thus uTorrent would itself reset back to port 0 if it was already in use
• Fix: Don’t scroll general tab horizontally since it has no horizontal scrollbar
