Versie 1.8 van de populaire Bittorrent-client µTorrent is volop in ontwikkeling en met enige regelmaat komen er nieuwe versies uit. Zo is vandaag versie 1.8 build 8855 uitgekomen. Het programma kan trouwens ook zelf naar nieuwe bètareleases updaten, maar wat je dan mist zijn natuurlijk de changelogs, dus even langskomen in de Meuktracker is nog steeds noodzakelijk
