ApexDC++ is actively developed and provides a user-friendly interface, unique features, unlimited customisation and a dedicated support team. It has numerous features such as the PeerGuardian blocklist manager, customisation, themes, super seeding, a friendly GUI and more.

ApexDC++ is, and always will be, free from all forms of malware. The project is managed and developed by veterans of the P2P scene and as such we feel we are in touch with the opinions, wishes and requirements of our users.
ApexDC++ allows you to send graphical emoticons to users. You can install multiple emoticon packs at once from our customisation page!

Changes in ApexDC++ 1.2.0 Beta:
* Merge: SDC merge
* Plugin: Lua plugin (BCDC++ implantation & RSX++ Windows extension)
* Feature: Added short/human readable magnet links feature (partly from patch partly remade)
* Feature: New CDM (created together with Adrian/RSX++)
* Feature: Added runtime (re)load/unload for plugins
* Feature: Dropdown menu for favorite hubs button (like newer DC++ GUI, ie. smartwin)
* Feature: Another dropdown menu for public hublists button (allows you to choose the hublist)
* Feature: System log window (ended up being little different from DC++'s)
* Fix: Few x64 fixes from RSX++
* Fix: Possible crashes & other issues with "Get IP Address" button (might be removed entirely in future as obsolete)
* Fix: Few issues related to shellmenu in finished transfers
* Fix: Plugins onLoad() function's return value actually matters now
* Fix: MDI drawing issues with Aero, since after almost one year of vista MS still doesn't seem to bother
* Change: Added more temp file extensions to the "Remove forbidden" feature
* Change: Some Win32 specific plugin functions added
* Change: Moved "Share skiplist" to share page
* Change: Auto updater puts possible plugins in correct location now...

* Change: Plugins settings management/format changed
* Change: Removed obsolete option about old clients
* Change: Some StringDefs cleanup
* Change: Sample plugin optimized/updated.
* Change: Plugins should be "safe" now (StrData, instead of std::string, needs to eventually use plain char/wchar)
* Change: Resources loading reworked
* Change: Less QueueManager calls with threaded detections
* Change: IPGuard patches (more selective about what can and can't be blocked, ie. anti-abuse)
* Change: Stuff regarding stealthy style progressbars (hopefully fixed look on XP)
* Change: Using values returned by GetSystemMetrics in some places opposed to estimated constant values
* Change: "Remove forbidden" and "Share skiplist" priorities changed
* Change: Lot of plugin changes in general (uses structures to transmit info rather than passing the objects as interfaces f.ex.)
* Change: Clean up in few places, some sanity checks

µTorrent is an efficient and feature rich BitTorrent client for Windows sporting a very small footprint. µTorrent was designed to use as little cpu, space and memory as possible while offering all the functionalites expected from advanced clients. With BitTorrent, you can download files faster and contribute by sharing files and bandwidth.


Most of the features present in other BitTorrent clients are present in µTorrent, including bandwidth prioritization, scheduling, RSS auto-downloading and Mainline DHT (compatible with BitComet). Additionally, µTorrent supports the Protocol Encryption joint specification (compatible with Azureus 2.4.0.0 and above, BitComet 0.63 and above) and peer exchange.

µTorrent was written with efficiency in mind. Unlike many torrent clients, it does not hog valuable system resources - typically using less than 6MB of memory, allowing you to use the computer as if it weren't there at all. Additionally, the program itself is contained within a single executable less than 270 KB in size.

Various icon, toolbar graphic and status icon replacements are available, and creating your own is very simple. µTorrent also has support for localization, and with a language file present, will automatically switch to your system language. If your language isn't available, you can easily add your own, or edit other existing translations to improve them!

The developer puts in a lot of time working on features and making things more user-friendly. Releases only come out when they're ready, with no schedule pressures, so the few bugs that appear are quickly addressed and fixed.

Features of "µTorrent":
• Multiple simultaneous downloads
• Smart bandwidth usage
• File level priorities
• Configurable bandwidth scheduling
• Global and per-torrent speed limiting
• Quickly resumes interrupted transfers
• UPnP support (WinXP only)
• Supports popular protocol extensions
• Trackerless support (Mainline DHT)
• Localized to different languages
• Typical memory use less than 6 MB
• Incredibly small: about 270 KB

Changes in Version 1.9 (build 13910), 2008-12-24:
- Fix: never 'upload_only' in superseeding mode
- Fix: total download byte counters
