uTorrent 3.1.3

µTorrent 3.1 is here with a slew of improvements and new features! The major features are streaming of music and videos, as well as µTorrent Web, a new encrypted WebUI that requires no configuration! Check it out: https://web.utorrent.com/

We’ve added other exciting new features to this version: torrent ratings; easy sharing of files (just drag and drop!), streaming, portable mode, and a brand-new simplified view. We’ve also touched up and streamlined the main view of the client to make it easier to use.

A more detailed write-up of all the new features is available on the BitTorrent Blog.

Small enough to run off a USB key, but powerful enough to download any torrent in a jiffy (if it's got enough seeders), uTorrent 2.0 is easy on the eyes and smart on your network. The memory footprint for uTorrent is very small, and system resources are barely touched. While you're torrenting, you shouldn't be surprised to find that other programs that use your Internet connection slow down, but the latest version of uTorrent has an answer to that. Called uTorrent Protocol, or uTP, it's a built-in throttling that detects network congestion and slows down the torrent until the traffic jam has dissipated.

Version 2.0 includes a transfer cap, so that users who have had limits imposed by their ISPs can keep track and automatically kill torrenting when that limit is reached. Skins have also been introduced, but there's no skins option in Preferences: instead, you must go to the uTorrent site and download and install them yourself. That's unnecessarily irritating.
