News Source : Klitetools.com (http://www.klitetools.com/index.php)

Developer (http://bitconjurer.org/BitTorrent/)

Download (http://voxel.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/bittorrent/BitTorrent-3.9.0-Beta.exe)

This is the "official" client in that it is the latest supported version from Bram Cohen, architect of BitTorrent. It has the fewest features of all the clients, and releases are much more conservative than the experimental versions. Use this if you want stability but don't need any of the common features of the other clients, such as upload rate limiting.

Changelog :

All new queue-based user interface
Remembers what it was doing across restarts
Includes an improved .torrent maker with the regular install
Single port: launchmany can seed many files from a single port and thread
Better performance
completedir no longer exists, use btmaketorrentgui or btmaketorrent
License has changed to the BitTorrent Open Source License
Torrent fields are correctly created and interpreted as utf8
BitTorrent packets are marked as bulk data to make traffic shaping easier
Too many little things to list

Working Download Link (http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/bittorrent/BitTorrent-3.9.0-Beta.exe?download).

It seems pretty good, it's totally different to what it was before.

Interesting, but I need to limit my upload for overall performance.

Hence why there's a slider which allows you to limit your upstream bandwidth with ease?

What a wonderful time for a new BitTorrent version to come out. If only exeem would be released to the public. (Yes it is going to be released - I talked to a member of the famous "Orion" team which can confirm it)

B "Hence why there's a slider which allows you to limit your upstream bandwidth with ease?"

Which is it?

Changes are for the better. Another reason it is popular: simple interface.

Exeem is going to be its own class, sure its based off of BT but the fundemental changes will make it something different. I think it just might spark the next gen of filesharing much like bram did with BT

How do you have more than one torrent active? It seems like only the torrent on the top of the list is the only active one. I can't seem to start any beneath the top one.
