µTorrent 1.8 build 6102 alpha
Posted on Tuesday, November 13 2007 @ 22:16 CET by Thomas De MaesschalckA small but excellent torrent client.
New features:
- Support for file:// URLs
- Use RSS feed title as alias if available
- Last Active column
- Use RSS feed TTL value if available
- RSS title parsing available for all torrents in main window
- Codec parsing from title
- Smart episode filter will download repack for most recent episode with rss.smart_repack_filter
- More support for http web seeds including support for torrents with multiple files, torrent creation with web seeds, and changing web seeds on the fly via torrent properties
- Elapsed time column
- Program start time in statistics window
- Improved hashfail banning system (special thanks to the Azureus devs for describing their method)
- Faster resume after a crash (does not re-check finished or flushed files)
- Support FAST extensions
- Basic auto-download setup available while adding RSS feeds
- Metadata extension
- Support %s (search term) and %v (version identifier) in search engine list
- Support .btsearch files to add to search engine list
- support for relative paths with .torrent files
- Improved uTorrent UPnP mechanism. Should map correctly on routers that only send NOTIFY packets, uses XP API where functional, and maps UDP port now too
- User-Agent for web usage is now "BTWebClient/" plus uT version
- Added a tracker and transfers tab to help spread out the information a bit
- uTorrent now fetches paths using shfolder.dll so that it can get the correct APPDATA path for Windows 95. If you are on a similar system you will need to download shfolder.dll from Microsoft if you do not have a later version of Internet Explorer installed.
- Change addtorrent dialog treeview into a listview so it can be sorted + have a selection rectangle et al.
- uTorrent now uses the user's download folder on Vista by default, rather than the custom %HOMEPATH%Downloads
- utorrent.exe now has version, company, and product metadata
- prio_first_last_piece now prioritizes first and last megabyte of file instead of only the piece on the edge
- diskio.sparse_files is now enabled by default
- RSS feeds listed in category view, items in main window
- Removed now-redundant feeds and releases tabs from RSS Downloader window
- RSS button on toolbar now brings up Add Feed dialog
- rss.filters_use_default_dir determines if default download folder is used for filter matches when filter or settings do not specify a download path
- do not use adapter subnets to detect local peers. seems to result in many false-positives
- Add torrent uses .torrent storage path as default search path
- allow a manual reannounce every max(60 seconds, min_interval) where min_interval is from the tracker
- remove non-US supporting site from search list
- queue RSS feed updates
- ";" no longer separates skip files in Create Torrent since it is a valid filename character in Windows
- no more blank white screen when the WebUI is not installed, instead an informative message and a link (also 404s for other resource requests)
- Implement ability to change trackers for a torrent from webui
- When creating a .torrent file, all files are now sorted regardless of file system
- Logic error where it would not copy the .torrent to the storage path if only part of the path was matched
- Bug where BT backend didn't take into account alt .torrent storage path
- "&" characters in label names within the main download list context menu no longer become accelerators and display normally
- Last line of ipfilter.dat is loaded if it does not end with a carriage return
- Close file handles during hashchecking, instead of all at the end
- Properly open RSS releases with quotes in title
- Fixed several cases where UPnP would not unmap the portmapping on exit
- when a modal dialog is active other windows that are not its parent can recieve input
