Deluge 1.3.0 was released about a week ago bringing a lot of changes to the WebUI which now handles a large amount of torrents better (among other improvements). The GTKUI was also tweaked to handle a large number of torrents better by adding a client-side cache to reduce the RPC traffic. The Deluge developers say the GTKUI is now using 20% of the bandwith the 1.2 client was using.

Deluge Torrent has became my favourite BitTorrent client ever since Ubuntu Hardy Heron and I've been using it ever since. Most Linux users have heard of it, but I bet some Windows and Mac OSX users aren't aware that Deluge also works on those 2 platforms, not just Linux. Deluge is basically the uTorrent of Linux but it's quite a competitor for uTorrent on Windows too, bringing some of uTorrent features with some improvements and new features.


Deluge 1.2.0 Release Candidate 1 brings some very interesting improvements, such as a "True" Classic Mode where there is no longer a separate daemon process, tracker icons to the Tracker column, ability to rename files prior to adding them, 2 new plugins: extractor which automatically extracts downloaded torrents, and scheduler plugin, plus lots of other improvements / bug fixes.
