Download µTorrent 1.9 build 15380 alpha

The developers of µTorrent have released a new alpha version of the 1.9 branch. This time it’s build 15380, which here can be downloaded for Windows. The µTorrent program is a lightweight BitTorrent client written in C++ that aims to load the system as little as possible, so that, according to the developers, it can also be run on a Windows 95 system with 14MB of RAM. Although µTorrent is a lightweight client, the program offers a large number of features. For example, the appearance can be adjusted by means of skins, files can be downloaded via ‘trackerless’ torrents and the bandwidth can be set per torrent. The build 15380 changelog looks like this:
