Long-Awaited BitTorrent 4.0 Released

Posted by ryuzaki0 on 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."

    What's this "Bittorrent Opensource License" thingee?

    Do we need another? Was there some subtle variation not covered under another? BSD? GPL? NPL? MPL? ETC?
