µTorrent 1.8.3 Final (uTorrent 1.8.3)
PaulSpoerry | June 14, 2009
µTorrent is an efficient and feature rich BitTorrent client sporting a very small footprint. It was designed to use as little CPU, memory and space as possible while offering all the functionality expected from advanced clients. It’s my preferred bittorrent client and this tiny, yet crazy powerful application was finally updated to the final 1.8.3 release.
From the uTorrent site:
A lot of fixes for this release. uTP support has been much improved to better handle mixed-mode uTP and TCP. It is not enabled by default for outgoing connections.
