Donderdag is de eerste alpharelease van versie 3.0 van µTorrent verschenen. Versie 3.0 is de samenvoeging van de 2.1-ontwikkeltak met project Falcon, de web-interface van µTorrent. Nieuw in versie 2.1, en nu dus versie 3.0, is de ondersteuning voor trackers en web-seeds via magnet links, en voor rss-feeds in de WebUI. Diezelfde WebUI maakt nu ook gebruik van versleuteling en zou daarnaast geen port-forwarding meer nodig hebben. De bedoeling is echter dat er nog meer nieuwe functionaliteit wordt toegevoegd. Hieronder is te vinden wat er sinds versie 2.1 build 19280 allemaal veranderd is:
