Xtorrent 1.1 – released today

I’m pleased to announce today that after weeks of testing, Xtorrent 1.1 is now available for download. This is a fantastic release that brings many significant features, including:
  • individual file selection, so you can pick only the files you need
  • file priorities
  • a refashioned downloads pane

For the speed-obsessed, Xtorrent 1.1 brings:
  • significantly faster searching
  • faster downloads

All in all, this is the most feature-packed, stable, fastest, and easy to use release of Xtorrent ever. I hope you enjoy it. I know I certainly enjoyed designing it. Thanks!

Attention bloggers: If you write a story about this Xtorrent 1.1 release, you will be invited to join the NewsFire 2 private beta later this year. This will be your chance to try out NewsFire 2 ahead of everyone else.

Blogged. And a pleasure to do so. As it is a pleasure to use your software.

I will stop the sucking up now.


Zach...

I can haz newsfire private beta? (here’s my quick post)


Rhuantavan...

Can’t wait to get home and try it! Good job!


qrayg...

Great software. Worth every penny. Thank you for your hard work on this and Acquisition.


Chuck...

Posted. Xtorrent is my fav bittorrent client. I’d love to beta test my favorite rss reader. Send a Newsfire 2 beta my way.


Far...

sweet update, keep up the great work!

any chance paid users of newsfire get to play with the new private beta?


Tom...

I’m a huge Xtorrent and Newsfire fan and have purchased both excellent pieces of software. I’d love to be part of the beta for Newsfire 2.0 if possible.


Matthew...

I finally bought xtorrent, i wish i had sooner, i love the RSS functionality.

But is there anyway to refresh all searches\RSS feeds at once, or at timed intervals?

Thanks.


Gary...

Is there a forum where a discussion can take place on XTorrent’s search feature, improvement suggestions, and possibly including a larger set of sources to pull from?


Gaby...

Good Stuff, now…

When is Torrent Queing coming along ?

Keep it up.


Benjamin...

Okay, so you got me. I had been satisfied with my ignorance of Xtorrent, mostly because my PowerBook’s 60GB hard drive is near capacity already, but bribing me with the possibility a private beta of NewsFire convinced me to try it out. Not 5 minutes later I’m in love.

I don’t know what the requirements are for said invite, but I did post a little something about this release on my site. http://sorrytown.us/link/xtorrent-11-released


Project...

Jesus… dont know what you did but this version is downloading files MUCH faster than usual.


PBlack...

Xtorrent works fine. I am not using it very intelligently, tough, because I can’t find a manual. Is there one somewhere ?

Thanks.


Pemmax...

Blogged – http://mojmac.pl/2007/08/31/xtorrent-11-juz-dostepny/

Please add me for Newsfire private beta.

Best regards!


akuma1x...

I love this software! Excellent work. A feature I’d like to see in a future release is to have a day of the week selection for the global bandwidth limit.Say I want restrictions on bandwidth only on weekdays, but on the weekends, I want to turn the speed all the way up… That would be great. Again, a wonderful piece of software! Thanks!


MILE...

Very nice and welcome update, keep up the good work…! You can read my blog entry — even though it is in German, I hope that still counts…!? ;)


Miky...

i love you xtorrent :D


juju...

thanks dave for your wonderful upgrade, is there anybody outthere who can give me a short manual of version xtorrent 1.1? i don’t no exactly to use the new stuff! thanks!


Mark...

This torrent app is by far the best I’ve used… and I’ve tried most of the Mac clients. It is, to use those immortal words, THE DOGS BOLLOCKS.


greg...

Done + done. I’m curious if you have any plans to allow the new release to sync with any web-based readers, like NetNewsWire does? That’d be AWESOME!


Sam...

Another great update, nice work David. I look forward to future updates and am very excited about trying out the NewsFire beta.


EkDor...

I demo’ed it for less than a day and had to have it. No other app even comes close to this fast, this reliable and usable. Solid as a rock so far, comparable design and stability to Apples own code and design.

I’m impressed Dave.
Smart app…


Marcel...

Very nice Software!


Matthew...

Great App, but i am in need of restoring\recovering my system, how do i backup all my RSS feeds (i have alot) so i dont have to do it manually again?

Thanks.


angelonyc...

I love the program, but I can’t find any documentation. How do you download only 1 file out of a folder?


Guillermo...

I bought it first and tried it after lol I love it! But I wish I could tap into those nice advanced config options (Automatic port configuration (UPNP & Airport NAT-PMP) for starters) and a detailed user guide. Please forgive me if I’m terribly noob at this. I used Vuze (Azureus) before, and I miss the extensive configuration options, even though I admit this is a MUCH better app.


McDave...

Cracking update – seems to solve all of my issues with the previous release and add a load of features besides.

On iTunes integration; any chance of changing non-compatible movie formats (.avi) to .mov so they can be automatically added to the library? At the moment I have to save as a reference .mov in QT Pro an import manually. And if it could automatically kick off the conversion in iTunes as well and, and, and….

Thanks again for one of the slickest Mac Apps, McD


Sam...

What makes it so much faster then all the other torrent clients?


Alien...

Looks good.

One thing I need before I could buy is the ability to limit my upload bandwidth in the off peak period, otherwise it takes my 100% bandwidth.


Max...

Thanks for nice software!
One small feature request – add “Reconnect” button, please!
It will be very usefull on unstable network connections.


FJW...

Great application! Is there an XTorrent forum somewhere?


Zefish...

Would be nice to get a proxy feature


Ruurd...

Sorry for being blind. Individual files can be downloaded by just clicking the ‘get file’ button next to them. Now I’ve nothing more to wish. Great piece of software!


Daniel...

Will you have a way to remote interface with Xtorrent? I’ve always loved the Azureus remote widget to connect to my headless mac mini. That’s all that’s missing for me to switch :-)


Roland...

the best client torrent for mac osx!!


txema...

Hi,

i think Xtorrent is the best p2p however, lately i am having issues with it as I get “not responding” messages and the application gets frozen.

Moreover, I am finding that when i quit the program the music/movie i´ve downloaded has not been saved.
anyone that can help?
cheers,
Txema


Jamey...

Dave, love XTorrent. But for some reason I have to keep force-quitting it when it stops responding I just tried downloading a fresh copy, maybe that’ll help
Thanks,
–Jamey


Davis...

How to run this thing? Where do i have to past in the activation code? Could somebody explain?


Hugh...

Quick question. Do only certain torrents support the individual file feature? If not, how does one select individual files to download?


Kevin-John...

Hey Dave,

Love your software. I’m having an issue where when I start to download a seed the download switches to “paused” moments after it starts to download. Do you have a troubleshooting FAQ that I’m missing?

Best,

KJB


Dean...

Is a timestamp of finished downloads possible? when i have a dozen files downloading and one finishes, with a dozen more seeding, i would love to see which file was the last to download, instead of figuring it out by myself by going into finder and looking at last modified time. Another thing, upload times in the speed column for seeding torrents, because showing a blank for all seeds is useless, and actually selecting each one manually could be avoided easily.

great software, and looks beautiful.


luis...

Hi, your Xtorrent is excellent, but , i have a problem, its impossible to try downloading anything, he is all the times stopped.
It’s very annoying.
What can i do?

Thanks


Jake...

Hi, I’m a paid xtorrent user and I was wondering why it crashes upon completion of a download. Not every time, but very often. Seems to be random.

I’m using OS X 10.4.11

Thanks,
-JK


unnormal...

please please update xtorrent’s core so it can be unbanned from private torrent trackers like what?, waffles, etc. i would gladly pay for the better experience torrenting if only it actually worked on the best torrent trackers! the current state is a real shame!


Jason...

Does it require 10.4.11?
I just upgraded from xTorrent 1.0 and 1.1 keeps hanging. I’m running on intel 10.4.10 and can not upgrade the OS.

Please I need to download an older version of xTorrent (1.0)… 7Gb worth of almost finished donwloads are waiting!
