Utorrent 2.0 Released For Windows! [Beta]

[Richie]

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.

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?

At the risk of sounding noobish, what's uPnP?

Port forwarding .

Port forwarding .

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.
