Download µTorrent 3.3 build 28830 beta

The 3.3 development branch of the bittorrent client µTorrent reached beta status earlier this month and a successor has already appeared. In version 3.3, among other things, the input/output part has been completely rewritten, so that it performs better and it is no longer possible for a task to slow down the rest of the computer. Below are the changelogs from the past two months.

Release highlights:

• Disk I/O system completely rewritten. Now multi-threaded and high performance. It will take advantage of multiple disks, perform better with even just one, and no one disk job can block everything (eg slow network blocking local I/O, or allocating files)
• Auto-labeling and per-label download directories (Preferences -> Label)
• Search items in Advanced preferences
• Paired device removal
