Download µTorrent 1.7 beta build 1137

Just a few days ago we announced a new beta release of µTorrent and we’re already four builds down the road. µTorrent is a BitTorrent client with a low memory and processor load, with the size of the program itself being minimal. While µTorrent remains one of the most popular BitTorrent clients, the program’s reputation took a serious blow when its developer, Ludvig Strigeus, announced in December that he had sold his creation to Bram Cohen, the developer of the BitTorrent protocol. Bram Cohen works with the MPAA to keep illegal content from his website. Below are all the changes that have been made to the program since the previous entry in the muck tracker:
