Utorrent 2.0 Released For Windows! [Beta]

What is cool about the new utorrent is it allows you to watch movies whilst downloading, which I think is rather cool. You can download utorrent 2.0 by clicking here.

Features:
* Multiple simultaneous downloads
* Smart bandwidth usage
* File level priorities
* Configurable bandwidth scheduling
* Global and per-torrent speed limiting
* Quickly resumes interrupted transfers
* UPnP support (WinXP only)
* Supports popular protocol extensions

What's New in version 2.0 Beta:
* Fix: Port settings saved in Setup guide
* Change: updated help file code to be forward compatible with changes
* Fix: fixed torrent creation bug
* Fix: fixed crash introduced in last build
* Fix: fixed rare crash when parsing messages

What's your thoughts on this?

Post any bugs if your a utorrent 2.0 beta user, to allow feedback on the program to others.

Cheers,
Richard.

It's not released if it's in Beta?

Edit: * UPnP support (WinXP only)

You do NOT want that

Why? I use UPnP streaming to stream my pictures, music and video to other devices in our house and its great, just wish I had a bit more control in terms of security.

UPnP is one of the most insecure things on planet earth and is a serious source of an exploit. I pay close attention intro disabling it everywhere.

I know it is, disabling it on the router, fine, but how else are you meant to stream content to PS3s, 360s etc?

I meant, how would you stream media to the device? If I turn UPnP off on my computer, I can no longer stream to anything on the LAN.

If I turn it off on my router then as you say, no biggy, just have to open ports manually to let anything in/out.

You should be able to do everything without UPnP. It just takes some manual configuration I think.
