uTorrent Easter Eggs

ADVERTISEMENTS

I just found a few easter eggs for uTorrent. Here they are

  • Clicking the µTorrent logo in the About subsection of Help will play a synthesized sound
  • Pressing the T-button on the keyboard when viewing the About subsection of Help will start a game of Tetris
  • An older version of uTorrent (version 1.3) will show a Christmas eCard when launched on Christmas day

I found the first two by accident :shock:

Here’s a screenshot of the game Tetris in uTorrent

    Yes, I was shocked when I first saw the tetris game. I actually pressed ‘T’ button for typing the word ‘torrent’ in a notepad, but somehow the notepad was minimized and I pressed ‘T’ on uTorrent :-D

    wowwww!!!… that’s kewwllll… pretty amazing. Such a very small program like utorrent has a pretty nice game inside it. I could not imagine how possibly they store the game inside 170kB.

    Ah! I know…the purpose of the tetris game might avoid freegeek-movie downloader like me from drooling in front of computers waiting for torrenting. So that the keyboards are free from saliva. I confess that.
