KTorrent 4.0.1 and libktorrent 1.0.1 have been released

KTorrent is a BitTorrent client written in C++ for KDE using the Qt user interface toolkit. It is maintained in the KDE Extragear.

The first bugfix release for the 4.0 series has arrived. Several crashes have been fixed, as well as a problem which caused a lot of disk activity when downloading at high speed on certain filesystems.

If you upgrade ktorrent, it is recommended to also upgrade libktorrent, seeing that several of the bugfixes are in libktorrent.
