Download µTorrent 1.8.3 build 16010

A new stable version of µTorrent was released on Thursday, bringing the version number to 1.8.3 build 16010. In addition to version 1.8.3, there is also a 1.9 development version, in which new features such as UDP torrenting and real-time transfer rate control are experimented with. Since build 15638, the first stable release in the 1.8.3 series and the last time this program was discussed in the Meuktracker, various versions have been released with minor adjustments. For the sake of completeness, here’s a list of all the changes since that version:

Changes in version 1.8.3 (build 16010)

• Change: toolbar installer version
• Fix: buffer overrun vulnerability in create torrent dialog

Changes in version 1.8.3 (build 15772)

• Change: detect nvlsp too (previously it only detected nvappfilter). This means it warns about it and also adjusts the processor affinity like for nvappfilter. This should reduce the crash frequency.

• Change: UAC must be completed to install in Vista or higher
• Fix: memory leaks in main window, protocol associations, settings dialog, general tab
