Download µTorrent 1.7 beta build 1825

A new beta release of µTorrent version 1.7 has just been released, this time with build number 1825. µTorrent is a BitTorrent client with a low memory and processor load, while the size of the program itself is also minimal. While µTorrent is still one of the most popular BitTorrent clients, the program’s reputation took a big dent 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 is working 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 junk tracker:
