Thanks I haven't hear of that. And it is written in C++ which is nice. Is it considered the spiritual successor to the original uTorrent?

by smegel 9y ago

Why would you want to? Windows is for corporates putting spreadsheets in front of coin counters. For everything else there is Linux (or FreeBSD), which is probably why Micro$oft is porting SQL server to it.
