Nice to see that "DHT got stuck in" fix (yes, DHT wasn't really working-yet), and "unicode" means no support for Windows 9X/ME anymore (personally I don't care at all about that).

On the new beta uPnP isn't working again! The tracker shows me up as firewalled...
Port forwarding manually partially solves the problem: The upload speeds are still extremely poor, compared to good BT clients. Since I begun testing it, my ratio on my preferred site is going downhill with remarkable speed.
And that's not all: The new, "unicode" version fails to recognize already downloaded files which contain non-ASCII characters!
Sorry, but no more betatesting for me. This client is still very amateurish, plain and simple. Maybe our definitions of a "masterpiece" don't matchup exactly!

µtorrent-1.2.3-beta-358

Changes(pasted from µtorrent forum)

This version of 1.2.3 works both with Windows 9x/ME and 2K/XP. Of course, unicode works only on 2K/XP.

Please note that significant changes have been made to the 9x/ME code (It supports both ANSI/Unicode from the same executable), so things might have broken.

The torrent maker wasn't working in the previous beta. The new beta also enhances support for chinese torrents.

Build 380 admittedly works quite well. I have even tried it on my main Linux (via Wine)- the UI loads up perfectly, but that is that: I cannot download a single byte!

When run natively, it's the next best thing to Azureus- ATM.

Tried it, and despite (I believe) correctly setting my router to forward the incoming port, I saw no incoming connections, only outgoings.

Didn't fill in the "my IP" bit, as the FAQ's say the tracker should work with NAT anyway.
