Download µTorrent 3.1 build 26495 RC1

After a relatively short beta period, the first release candidate of µTorrent version 3.1 has appeared. New in version 3.1 is the ability to connect devices to µTorrent to stream content to them and there are several improvements to the access to the hard drive. In this release, which has been given build number 26495, the following changes have been made:

New features:

• Ask for save filename up-front when creating a torrent (improves usability)
• Support creating larger files on exFAT filesystems

Change:

• Enable windows disk cache for writes by default. Improves write performance, especially with sparse files
• Enable sparse files by default on win7 (disabled on vista because of filesystem bugs). This should fix most disk overload issues
• Move apps node to the bottom of the category tree

Fixed:

• Ability to create torrents with thousands of files
• Visual improvements on certain Windows versions with large system text size
• Compute disk congestion for ever cache write. avoids overrun cache size
• Fixed incorrect teredo MTU assumptions
