uTorrent was successful because it was light, small, fast and did one thing very well. Bundling games, video and antivirus apps with it could hardly be more antithetical.
They write "Apps for µTorrent is a brand new web-based extensions framework that makes it easy for users to get more and do more with µTorrent without compromising the client’s renowned lightness and speed. "
There is nothing actually bundled. It is easier to download those things, but if you still want the light, small, fast experience, that hasn't changed at all.
If I or someone else can use this to solve the problem of moving data files, I'll be a happy camper.
This is a HUGE issue for me, as I'd like to consolidate torrents split across 3 drives (I realize I shouldn't have done things that way in the first place... but it happened organically)
Since most of them are on private trackers, I don't just want to stop sharing them, and moving 50+ torrent/data files is currently a nightmare.
I have a similar problem, when I try to migrate torrents from Windows desktop to a MacBook it doesn't work. You have to start at 0% all over again. It would be great if it were possible to do this, as I could leave my MacBook outside my room and download throughout the night (my desktop is in my room, too noisy overnight ;-) ).
in uTorrent, copying the data over and (in the right click menu once a torrent is stopped) going to advanced > set download location should force a recheck at the new location.
Between this and some of their other projects like live streaming (http://www.utorrent.com/labs) it seems as if they're aiming for a broader vision of peer-based networking, as opposed to just file distribution.

I couldn't care less about the first (Deluge > * ), but I'm glad to see they're listening to feedback.

It's on the current suggestion list (http://utorrentideas.uservoice.com/forums/47263-general/sugg...).
