uTorrent 3.0 Alpha Available for Download

uTorrent have launched the first uTorrent 3.0 alpha, build 20228. One big change, though, is that the Falcon 2.1 alpha has been merged with the standard uTorrent 2.1 builds. As before, this is not feature complete, but many exciting new features have been added to this version: a new, encrypted webUI that doesn't require port forwarding (tentatively called Falcon); many improvements to the standard WebUI backend; streaming; and a new, optional (non-default) simplified UI.



The main Features and Bug Fixed are:
- Fix: fixed uTP crash on sockets being closed with uninitialized read buffers
- Fix: default download directory fix for multifile torrents
- Change: rate limit uTP by default
- Fix: Fixed fast-resend bug in selective ack handling in uTP. This could cause too aggressive resends on packet loss
- Change: fix crash when formatting a string with NULL
- Change: make uTP slightly less aggressive on loss
- Change: Mention uTP in settings and reorganize new bandwidth checkbox since they apply to both up and down limits
- Change: Render TCP rates in speed graph when uTP is not throttled
- Change: Moved net.calc_overhead to the Bandwidth settings pane
- Fix: RSS items show a different icon if disabled
- Change: Turn on uTP throttling when scheduler is in "limited" mode
- Fix: Fixed a delayed ack issue in uTP (lowers overhead)
- Fix: RSS items would show when torrent list was empty
- Fix: made magnet links in RSS feeds work
- Change: made uTP packet size increase based on low delay measurements
- Fix: made uTP packet size depend on total send rate, not just uTP send rate
- Change: new advanced settings net.disable_ipv6 that defaults to True on 64bit Windows
- Change: Don't show add torrent dialog by default.
- Feature: Add checkbox to disable UDP trackers 

The most exciting feature one is the streaming capability, which enables users to start watching a video before the file has been completely downloaded. Normally, you wouldn’t be able to do this with BitTorrent, since different chunks of a file are downloaded in random order, part of the reason why the protocol is so fast. uTorrent gets around this by building a buffer of sorts, downloading some chunks in order, and then using a streaming server to send the video to any player capable of receiving streaming video.

The other big feature in Falcon and the uTorrent 3.0 alpha is the new webUI. The new web interface uses an encrypted connection and doesn’t require port forwarding anymore. This makes it trivial to set up and secure to use. The very latest build, uTorret 3.0 alpha 20228, apart from the new 3.0 label, comes with some bug fixes but few new features or changes. The only new feature is the possibility to disable UDP trackers.
