For the torrent nuts out there who just love to download, the team over at uTorrent have finally produced another stable release.  This new version, v1.8, marks the first release since January of this powerful downloading tool.  The changelog is ridiculously large, so I've collected some of the key changes for your reading pleasure.  The main major new features added are Teredo and IPv6 support.  Teredo is a tunnelling protocol designed to grant IPvv6 connectivity to nodes that are located behind IPv6 unaware devices (excerpt from wikipedia).  If you already have uTorrent installed, next time you launch it you will see a prompt asking you if you would like to download the new version.  If you don't already have it, check out the download link below.  Now, on with the list...

• Fix: replace backslashes in file paths for multifile URL seeding with forward slashes
