uTorrent Beta for Mac Reaches 1.0 Milestone [Updates]

A few weeks ago, we mentioned uTorrent's new, native Mac client moving to beta , sporting a new UI and all torrent-downloading features you could want from something lightweight. The project is still in beta, but officially got the 1.0 label this weekend, so it looks like we're getting closer and closer to an official release. There are a few new bug fixes, but nothing super new in this release. If you were waiting for a more stable build, though, this would be a great place to start. After testing it for awhile, it doesn't seem quite as lightweight as Transmission on my machine, but if you check it out, be sure to let us know your experience in the comments.

uTorrent for Mac Upgrades to Beta, Gets Interface Overhaul [Updates]

Mac only: uTorrent, the most popular BitTorrent client on Windows, has moved from alpha to beta for OS X, boasting a completely native Mac client with a brand new interface. Most Mac users are probably happy with Transmission, but the lightweight uTorrent is definitely worth a look—not only is the new UI much better than the old one, it's much nicer than Transmission's if you download a lot of torrents at once. Furthermore, uTorrent can definitely compete with Transmission on lightness, while still having some of the more advanced features of something like Vuze (though Transmission continues to gain advanced features with each update). If you're a recent Mac convert looking for a more familiar torrent client, or just a heavy downloader unhappy with Transmission's more minimal UI, the new uTorrent beta is definitely worth a look.
