I have read some places that µTorrent doesn't cooperate well with Windows 7 x64. What I have read was about the beta and RC versions though.
Does anyone have any experiences using it in the RTM version?

I don't know about the RTM, but I have been using it on Windows 7 x64 RC for several months without any problems at all. I would expect the same, or better, behavior from RTM.

The only real problem is likely if you set the downloads folder to be some folder under 'Program Files (x86)', I think it defaults to your vista/7 'Downloads' folder now, but for a while it did default to a subfolder of the installation path.
As with any program under vista/7, write access to 'Program Files'/'Program Files (x86)' is severely curtailed, even when granted administrative rights via UAC.
It's possible this would be a source of problems for people with 7 in the past, especially if they did an inplace upgrade from XP where the program files folder would be the location for downloaded torrents.

Cool. Will accept this as answer since you have the least rep, and you took the time of taking a screen shot :p – Svish – 2009-08-19T12:05:58.960
There is no proof that is Windows 7 about page, it could be Vista :) – BinaryMisfit – 2009-08-19T12:07:54.150
1@Diago: OK, I will post a new screenshot. – TFM – 2009-08-19T12:11:17.870
@TFM - I was having some fun with this one but thanks :) – BinaryMisfit – 2009-08-19T12:17:05.160
I know, but it was not a big deal to get a new screenshot, I owe it to Svish after the nice gesture. – TFM – 2009-08-19T12:19:39.123
@TFM: still not sure if this is the RTM or the RC version of windows 7 (tongue in cheek ;-) – fretje – 2009-08-19T13:17:05.177
hehe, be niice :P – Svish – 2009-08-19T13:38:06.517
I like your 2.0 experience index. – mpen – 2009-08-20T04:39:53.073
@Mark: My 2.0 experience index is because of my graphics card, it sucks. Earlier, I posted an image that didn't show my index, but Diago didn't like it. :p – TFM – 2009-08-20T06:15:19.527
