µTorrent 2.0 beta released
The update brings:
- Support for UDP trackers, a new protocol for BitTorrent trackers that uses less CPU power on the tracker end
- Improved setup dialog with built-in speed test
- Transfer Cap options that help you track and control how much data you transfer (which helps if your ISP caps your data transfer rates)

So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...

Still won't beat eMule. BTW, Halite is clearly the better BT client.

You are wrong. Not just that, you seem confused. How is eMule a bit torrent replacement at all? I invite you to check your ignorance at the door and do the following:
1. Install uTorrent
2. Go to a legitimate torrent site and start a legitimate download.
3. Go into your system to see how much of the resources are taken up.
4. Notice that this is an incredibly elegant solution that might be the best coded application that has ever been written.

It's µTorrent. I didn't count it as an "eMule alternative" BTW.
About the resource usage: Halite doesn't take much RAM either. µTorrent is proprietary, bloated software. Compared to Halite, at least.

@der_tuxman: You seem to be living in world where time runs backward. You know, a world where the technically advanced things (BitTorrent) come first and, step by step, mankind becomes more and more primitive and uses older and older technology (Emule).
I assume it must be an interesting experience, but, personally, I prefer my orientation of the timeline.

Older technology doesn't mean it has to be worse technology. BT will never be a choice for me as long as it has a short file lifetime and no global (!) search function!

@der_tuxman
PLEASE explain to me how you can consider µTorrent a bloated application taking 282kb of space, and 15MB of RAM with over 50 active torrents.
