Woensdag is er een nieuwe ontwikkelversie van µTorrent versie 2.0 verschenen. µTorrent is een zeer complete BitTorrent-client die het geheugen en de processor nauwelijks belast, en ook de grootte van het programma zelf is minimaal. De belangrijkste verbetering in versie 2.0 is de ondersteuning voor uTP: een manier van datatransport waarbij hoge betrouwbaarheid en minimale latencies de speerpunten zijn. Sinds de vorige vermelding in de Meuktracker zijn de volgende veranderingen en verbeteringen in µTorrent aangebracht:
