My preferred torrent client uTorrent has been updated to ver1.8.

Currently my system has 512mb RAM, so i expect most programs to use the least memory possible. And uTorrent is great about it. It is only 260kb and does what a torrent client is supposed to do.

improvements with this version

Proxy Programs – These programs direct your traffic to proxy servers which act as a middle man between your computer and your target website. So you are getting the content via proxy server.

Hotspot Shield – It is the fastest one I’ve tried.

Using IP Instead of URL – Most of the time websites are only blocked by their hostnames and not by their IP addresses. So instead of using their names you can try accessing them by using their IP addresses. Here is how to find it:

win+r / cmd / ping domain.com

Instead of domain.com just enter 66.150.120.145 in the address section of your browser.

My Computer / right click / Properties / Advanced / Environment Variables /

Below the bottom Environment Variables window pane (System Variables), click on New. Enter for “Variable Name”:

“DEVMGR_SHOW_NONPRESENT_DEVICES”

and for “Variable Value” enter 1

Then My computer / right click / manage

right click Device Manager, click on View and then select Show hidden devices from the menu. You can identify the hidden devices by their grayed-out icons and remove them.

If you remove a piece of hardware without first uninstalling it in Device Manager, the drivers remains behind, but the device no longer shows up in Device Manager by default. By removing unused driver your system speed will not increase, but it is good for cleaning and may lower conflicts with new drivers, and may also prevent possible system errors.
