Jeremy Arendt, de developer van G3 Torrent, heeft versie 0.999a van zijn BitTorrent-client uitgebracht. G3 biedt naast de standaardfunctionaliteit die je in elke BT-client mag verwachten, en meer zoals de mogelijkheid om alleen de gewenste bestanden te downloaden als één torrent er meerdere bevat. G3 Torrent is in meerdere smaken te downloaden: een installer voor het Windows-platform en de in Python geschreven source code die ook op andere platformen kan worden gebruikt. Het changelog deelt de volgende wijzigingen mee:
- NEW Added the ability to select only certain files to DL from the Multi-File Torrent manager.
- Updated the types of clients the program can recognize. As well as the types of clients that can be spoofed to all the latest versions.
- Decreased the length of time the ballons stay on screen. its 8 seconds now.
- Preallocation no longer happens if there is just 1 single large file. For multiple files, preallocation has to happen because of the way the mutitorrent mngr works right now.
- Added 2 optional columns in the peer list view. They can be enabled via right click to the column header. Totaly unessasary for most people, but may be interesting to some.
- "spew" is toggled off now for torrents that are not currently selected or when the window is minimized. This means lower CPU usage - Especially when there are many torrents running. Also CPU time is much lower now when minimized.
- Changed the remove torrent hotkey to Ctrl+Del
- Numerous bug fixes
