µTorrent 1.5 is Out

The latest release of µTorrent is now available from http://www.utorrent.com.

In case you don't know by now, µTorrent (the funny "u" is the symbol for "micro", so I guess it's pronounced MicroTorrent) is a fully featured BitTorrent client that is completely contained in a 150 kB exe. This means that you don't install anything; just download the program and run it. I don't even think that I can get Hello World to compile to under 150 kB with .NET or Java!

The best part, though, is that it only uses around 2-3 MB of RAM as it runs (and maybe another 5 MB of Virtual Memory). Azureus, on the other hand, would sometimes eat 60 MB of physical RAM (according to Task Manager).
