uTorrent 3.0?

Anyone tried out the new version of µTorrent? I've got 2.2.1, and it works fine. But now they've rolled the major version number. Is it worth getting?

Based on a perusal of the nominal features, it doesn't seem to offer anything I really need. And among users of BakaBT it doesn't seem to have taken hold. (The consensus version there is 2.2.1, the same version I'm currently using.)

Any opinions about v3.0?

UPDATE: That's interesting... the µ character disappears out of the title. I've added a "u" instead.

1 That's weird, I'm checking for updates thru the app itself yet it tells me there's no new version available.
I'll try it for a couple of days.

I should have linked to it.

I suspect they don't think of it as an "upgrade", considering all the things they changed.

The "drop in this box to send it" may be the most interesting feature, but I fear it won't work for me since my torrent computer is using NAT to see the world. Unless they are running some sort of customized tracker.

3 An RSS client that keeps a history like Vuse did would be nice (About the only thing to like about Vuse).

4 So far, everything normal, nothing really outstanding. Maybe more seeding reliability I think, but for the most part, it's trivial stuff changed like the ui  (new look, columns changed, if it's a video what's its resolution, etc.)

One time when I did an upgrade, it lost all my torrents and I had to start them again.

Did you keep yours when you installed 3.0?

6 Yeah, it kept them all (I think even left them as they were, running, stopped, paused, etc).

7 I'm still running 2.2.1.  It's working very well (other than occasionally missing matches in the feeds).  I don't want to take another chance any time soon.

At least not until I hear about it being some quantum improvement, or after the next minor rev.
