Download µTorrent 1.6 build 472

After the longest beta period to date, Ludvig Strigeus has just released the final release of version 1.6 of the popular BitTorrent client µTorrent. The program has a minimal memory and processor load, and that with a download size of only 170KB. Version 1.6 has a large number of improvements on board.
