BitTorrent 7.2.1
Posted by download in Software on 28-05-2011
BitTorrent hadn&39;t seen a major update in about two years but that was before it bought out uTorrent. Now adopting its new sibling&39;s interface has completely reinvigorated the original BitTorrent client.
Previously BT had lacked features that other torrent innovators had spent time testing and investing in. Now in one fell swoop BT has access to everything it lacked. You can pick which files in a torrent you want to download throttle your Internet connection to suit your whims muck about with the Web UI and basically do everything that uTorrent can do.
There&39;s an RSS tracker and search bar just like in uTorrent but there&39;s where we encounter one key difference. Where uTorrent&39;s search takes you to the MiniNova torrent site BitTorrent&39;s goes to BitTorrent.com a payformostcontent site. There&39;s also a menu bar item in the BitTorrent client called Get Stuff with links to Movies TV Music and Games at the BitTorrent content site.
Without a doubt BitTorrent has taken drastic steps to reverse course and unsink its sinking ship. Although BT still eats more memory than its new sibling it&39;s hogging significantly less than before. The install file reflects the new code shrinking from nearly 6MB for version 5 to less than 1MB for version 6.
BT also comes with a small piece of software called DNA. The BT site calls it protocol for &Delivery Network Acceleration& but beyond a nebulous description it&39;s hard to tell what exactly it does.
