Xtorrent Public Beta 1 has been updated to v12. This release fixes a common crashing bug and adds preferences for auto-deletion of .torrents and scheduled bandwidth limits, in addition to other minor changes.

Today I am pleased to announce the immediately availability of my newest software project, in public beta form. Xtorrent is an advanced torrent client that has been in development for several months. It aims to bring a friendly interface and powerful features to the world of BitTorrent.

Some of the highlights:
– ultra-simple torrent search with one-click downloading (an Xtorrent original)
– a high performance torrent core
– detailed download information and activity monitoring
– powerful seeding and ratio controls
– integration with iTunes
– folder monitoring and automatic .torrent downloading

Please note, this is beta software. It’s not feature complete, it probably has quirks, and it will expire when the beta period is over. It’s quite solid and very usable, but there’s a lot of cool stuff yet to come.

For the past several days, PayPal has been having issues with sending payments using Mastercard credit cards. If you had attempted to purchase a license for any of my software products with a Mastercard, you may have not been able to successfully complete the purchase. This issue should be resolved now, and so if you want to use your Mastercard things should proceed trouble-free.

Thanks and apologies for any inconvience.
