Download µTorrent 1.7 beta build 2922

Version 1.7 of the popular BitTorrent client µTorrent is in full development and new versions are released regularly. For example, version 1.7 build 2922 was released yesterday. Recently, the program has also been able to update to new beta releases, but what you miss are of course the changelogs, so a visit to the Meuktracker is still necessary. Since the previous entry in the Meuktracker, we are already ten beta builds further and below are all the changes that have been made to the program in the meantime:
