The new version of the very popular BitComet torrent client, version 0.87 (stable), has a few new features.
The new version incorporates a "resource browser" to help "accelerate open web pages", although the web browser in itself isnt very fast.
BitComet now also has sidebar advertisments which means you will have to look at ads whenever you open the client up.
Here are the rest of the release notes:
