Music and video streaming
Media streaming, which first appeared back in uTorrent 2.1 alpha, has made comeback in the 3.0 beta. Basically, this means you can consume your media as you download.
Rate torrents with Pulse
There’s a new tab called Ratings at the bottom of the client, and you simply provide a star rating, and optionally a comment. Eventually, once enough people are rating torrents, you’ll be able to scan through your RSS feeds and pick out the torrents with the best ratings.
Simple file sharing
‘Drop files to share’ zone in the bottom left corner of the interface lets you share files and folders and uTorrent generates a TinyURL link that you can share with your friends.
This feature uses ‘Web Seeds’, which means that the torrent is also being seeded, via HTTP, by uTorrent’s dedicated servers.
uTorrent Web Remote
The crowning achievement for uTorrent 3.0 is its integration with uTorrent Web, which is BitTorrent’s new zero-config Web control panel. To get started, goto Options > Preferences > Web and type in a username and password — There’s NO need to configure anything else, Not even port forwarding, it works anywhere, anytime. Use http://web.utorrent.com to log in.
