Long-Awaited BitTorrent 4.0 Released 521

Posted by timothy on Wednesday March 09, 2005 @01:03AM from the quite-a-thing dept.

wintermute1974 writes "After sitting at a stable release of 3.4.2 since last spring, Bram Cohen's official BitTorrent client has been upgraded to version 4. In addition to its existing, rock-steady functionality, BitTorrent now sports a new queue-based UI. The revision details are on the BitTorrent site. Packets are now marked as bulk data too, which is significant considering that about a third of all Internet traffic is currently torrent data."

Is it just me... but does anyone else find it ironic that there isn't a torrent available for downloading Bittorrent?

I hope packets are also marked with the evil bit too, which is significant considering that most of all Torrent traffic is currently evil data.
