uTorrent 3.0 BETA

the new utorrent beta is complete shit. they have added streaming for vids and music, which i do not understand why a download app needs a streaming feature. they added a drag/drop file upload, which i guess is OK but i never had an issue making a torrent, adding my tracker, and then using that torrent. they removed all of the important information from the top, information such as seeders, peers, upload speed, ratio, status, etc. they instead added a new fields like the ability to "label" the torrent (why?) and a health bar that showed 3/4 bars when i was getting 1kb/s on a torrent (LOL??).

needless to say i quickly downgraded back to 2.2.1. i won't upgrade again if it stays this way and that really upsets me.

[quote name='this sums it up']i really hope i don't upgrade one day and find a utorrent that streams youtube, connects to facebook, burns dvds, and emulates nintendo roms.[/quote]

anyone who used 3.0 and hates it, please voice your complaints on the official forum: http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=98500&p=1

wow, the interface is so much cleaner... and it's using a lot less resources... they really f***ed up with 2.0
 
i forgot how old my uTorrent was before .
though when i upgraded to 2.2.1 , it never felt the same .

the interface looked different .
it looked much better before , a simple , easy to use Torrent client .

now it's just meh .

that makes no sense, vuze is so much more bloated

on the utorrent thing, i'm pretty much forced to use uTorrent 3.0 alpha because i use the droid app to access it remotely (even lets you download your completed torrents and add new ones), you can also access it from https://web.utorrent.com/

if it wasn't for that i would definitely be back on 2.x, the way i see it bittorrent's mainstream client wasn't near as popular as utorrent so they are turning utorrent into bittorrent

True, it is more bloated, but at an optimized speed AFAIK it's faster, and the torrent stats still show up. Also I like the GUI more. In fact, had my brother not randomly told me to download Vuze [about 2-3 years ago], I would still be using utorrent. That said, it does have a lot of unnecessary features. (why would I want my to burn DVDs or watch my movies?)
 
I just checked mine, I'm at 2.2.1.

I'll admit though, I prefer the much simpler uTorrent where it was just downloading and couldn't do anything else. When I upgraded, I'll admit it took me some time to get used to the 2.2.1.
