Update: FileZilla 3.3.4 RC2

Sunday, August 8th, 2010

Tango theme for FileZilla

Tango theme for FileZilla


The powerful (and all-time favorite here at WorthInstalling) FileZilla FTP Client continues to move towards the final release of v3.3.4. There’s not much to talk about, since RC2 only fixes some leftover bugs (see below).

PS: If, like me, you feel that the included icon themes are low-quality and not very, check out the Tango theme by Bartek Sumowsky on DeviantArt. Too bad it doesn’t have a 32×32 version (yet?).

Beta update: uTorrent 2.2 Griffin

Saturday, August 7th, 2010
uTorrent 2.2 Apps panel

uTorrent 2.2 Apps panel

uTorrent’s beta branch (codenamed “Griffin”) introduces a very interesting and powerful feature called “Apps for uTorrent“. According to the developers, it is a web-based extensions framework designed in such a way that it will not affect uTorrent’s performance and lightweightness (is this a word?).

uTorrent “apps” ar basically HTML and Javascript code pieces, packaged in a “.btapp” container, similar to Apple Dashboard widgets. The apps can access uTorrent’s features via an API, but this is not mandatory; they can do completely unrelated tasks or access external programs.

Applications to try out are listed in the integrated “Apps” panel. Right now there aren’t too many available but, while some of them are a cleverly disguised way of generating revenue for uTorrent’s parent company (free MMO games? gimme gimme gimme!!!!1 not), others look pretty interesting:

- uMap (shows you a map pinpointing the peers you’re currently connected to)

- VirusGuard (integrated AV scanner powered by BitDefender)

- Torrent Twitter (a twiter-based commenting system for individual torrents, using hashtag for aggregation)

LE: There is a nice contest for app developers.
