I looked around, it looks like most of the major clients haven't upgraded yet. Do you think the upgrades will be a big enough improvement to go back to using the standard bare-bones client until the better clients come out with updates? Anyone know what the differences are?

I'm not gonna changeover I don't think. It looks like it has a queue and adjustable upload speed and other improvements found in better clients, but I'm happy with BitTornado.


If anyone tries it out, let us know what you think.

Some places were packaging it with spyware. But it doesn't have spyware, get it from the official site.

That doesn't make any sense. This is a client update only, it doesn't affect the bittorrent protocol so nobody else will have to upgrade because of this. Anyway, I've tried it out but reverted to BitTornado. Azureus uses a ridiculous amount of ram and I found that this official client uses way too much cpu. BitTornado is pretty light on both of them and I don't really need queueing of different torrents and stuff.
