<\/p>\nI opened uTorrent today to start seeding some of my torrents and a window popped up saying that a new update is available. I clicked on download update! And the new version 3.0 beta got installed. At first I thought it would be some bug update, but then I found some major design changes.<\/p>\n
First change you would notice is the new \u201chealth\u201d column being added in the torrent list.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The next change you will find is at the bottom left your the screen. Its the Drop to send files box!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Lets see how this thing works.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
At this stage, the file information is sent to the utorrent server and you get a screen like this when you or your friend clicks on the link.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
You may ask whats the benefit of such a system. If you observe carefully you get a some major advantages from this kind of file sharing. First of all it is very simple to send a file to your friend. You do not need to create torrents and upload it to torrent websites. Secondly this kind of file sharing reduces a lot of burden on servers because it is peer to peer file sharing with much easier way of sharing stuff.<\/p>\n
If it is a video file that you are sharing, the person receiving the file will be able to stream it if he is using utorrent v3.<\/p>\n
This new version supports streaming videos contained in the torrent. So that means if you are downloading a TV show from torrents, you might be able to stream it and watch it even before it is downloaded completely. Thats a very good addition they have made on request from several users for past few years. I am very happy they finally implemented it in this version. I don\u2019t need to wait for the whole movie\/TV show to get downloaded anymore.<\/p>\n
And then there is an option to run a particular program after your download is complete. Pretty self explanatory if you see the window here:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Thats all for now.<\/p>\n
