Publisher's Description
From BitTorrent:
In addition to our continued redesign of the user interface and easy access to artist spotlight content, the biggest change is the addition of a new feature: personal content channels. Now, you will be able to easily send all of those massive files you've created - for example smartphone videos and hi-res pictures - to all of your friends and family directly from your BitTorrent software.
What's new in this version: New product.

"Love! Much Neater UI"
Version: BitTorrent beta 8.0.4.7
Pros
Has all the features of the older version plus some added extras. The appearance is so much friendlier and visually nicer and NO data whatsoever gets lost. It still has all of what the other version has and then more!
Cons
I hope that it comes out of Beta stage and get's used 'officially'.
Summary
It's nicer to view, no information is lost on upgrade. Much more simple feel to it along with keeping all the various features and information. I'd say to try it :-)

"Absolutely dreadful"
Version: BitTorrent beta 8.0.4.7
Pros
None, 5678910
Cons
UI is gone, missing, vanished, ***!!!
It used to be like utorrent and then they got rid of the interface, interesting idea, but I really do not want - where is all the info???? What the h=ll is going on, I don't like blind computing, it is horrible.Summary
It now sucks really bad, I really wish it hadn't upgraded to 8.0.
I used Bittorrent for a couple of years and it was great, I'm going to have to uninstall it now.
Shoot the interface designer please.
I just loaded a new torrent and quickly closed the program again in disgust.
Upload speed? peers? Size of torrent? DL speed? Percentage completed, Ratio? Where the **** has this info gone.
If it's not broken then don't ******* fix it. -
"really *cool* new features!"
Version: BitTorrent beta 8.0.4.7
Pros
personal content channels are a killer app for easily and privately sharing personal pics and videos without compromising resolution and using BitTorrent's very efficient technology to minimize bandwidth constraint/traffic congestion issues.
Cons
some users like the simplicity and geekier old version. but there's still uTorrent for that!
Summary
BitTorrent is already an amazing technology, and they have just added another really useful way to use it!
