What works
Utorrent 2.2.1 Beta
Basic tests check out OK: downloading, uploading, seeding, gui.
Running wine 1.2 on Ubuntu Lucid 10.04
What does not
Occasional screen artefacts: not sure if this is due to it being a beta, or if it's actually a bug.
The UPX encoded EXE didn't run properly: it crashed. I needed to extract it first using upx-nrv. Then it ran fine.
Workarounds
What was not tested
No long term testing done. However, I do have 300 torrents loaded, so something is going right. I upgraded because my previous install of utorrent 2.04 was crashing constantly: this seems to be working better.
