Stable version preceded by only three release candidates

This time around BitTorrent kept the release candidate period quite short, as they launched the stable version for uTorrent 3.1.2 over the weekend. uTorrent moved only through three RCs before hitting the stable mark.

The only trouble taken care of for this release to hit the web was an issue with adding torrents, namely choosing the save location.

However, the previous 3 RCs got rid of plenty of bugs, some of which caused the application to crash, such as setting the download location for a magnet link.

Most of the important bugs have been eliminated in the first two release candidates, while the third dealt with polishing some text in a few dialogs and making the A/V icon in status bar behave better when clicked. It also reports if the apps in the Plus version fail to install; but it also squashed some crash bugs.
