BitTorrent 4.0.1



The most popular P2P application of current times on its original form.

BitTorrent is a peer-to-peer protocol designed to transfer files. Users connect directly to send and receive portions of a file, while a central tracker coordinates the action of all peers and manages connections without knowledge of the contents of the files being distributed. With BitTorrent, users upload at the same time they download, so network bandwidth is managed as efficiently as possible. BitTorrent is designed to work better than other file-transfer protocols as the number of people interested in a certain file increases.

Changes since the last stable release:

* Possible workaround for the “TCP stack flaking out” bug as a preference.
* Preference option for the text color over the progress bar.
* Fixed problem picking config file and save locations on Win98/ME.
* Switched to GTK file save widgets to fix the problem of resuming multi-file torrents.
* Bulk traffic flag was only being set on incoming connections.
* Some tweaks to the interface and more informative error messages.
* Fixes to installer, including location fixes for non-English users.
* Fix for interface lockups after being minimized.
* Fixed a couple tracebacks.
* A few small tracker bugs fixed.
* An item which belonged in the previous notes: Improvements to seed behaviour which addresses the problem for which super-seeding was created, but without the problems of super-seeding.
