Changes in µTorrent Version 1.8 alpha (build 7593), 2008-01-06:
- Feature: Interval and Min Interval (non-default) columns for Trackers tab
- Feature: context menu for Trackers tab
- Feature: "Selected Size" column for main listctrl - displays total size - skipped size
- Change: Reworked preferences dialog
- Change: New opening dialog/wizard with speed guide/setup combination
- Change: peer id parsing for (lol) LimeWire
- Change: Remove a previous fix for custom taskbar/title icons, as it make some existing ones choose the wrong format
- Change: If a default download directory is chosen, torrents automatically added from the autoload directory will never pop up the add torrent dialog
- Change: An error is now shown if there is a autoload directory, a custom torrent storage directory is not chosen, and the autoload directory matches the settings directory
- Change: use CONNECT for peer connections through HTTP style proxies
- Change: "Seeding only"/pink scheduler mode, available before when shift was held down, is now part of the normal scheduler click rotation
- Change: In places where the infinity symbol was printed, nothing is printed
- Fix: reverse DNS resolution with old-style tracker responses
- Fix: search string corruption on Win98
- Fix: resolve host to report to tracker before any tracker requests
- Fix: CONNECT requests to "HTTPS" style proxies (peer connections now work)
- Fix: communication with trackers that only parse the first TCP packet (fix your trackers please!)
- Fix: trackers stuck in "updating..." if UPnP was enabled but not functioning
- Fix: negative "Remaining" value if files are skipped after they are completed
- Fix: When a second instance is started while uTorrent is shutting down, it will now wait for the first instance to finish then continue, rather then silently quitting

Anyone else notice how the last version 1.7.5 release crashed sometimes? I'll be using 1.6.1 for a good long time

Thanks!

its not alpha, its beta
