If I had a dollar for every time anyone has inquired about UPnP support in BitWise, I probably could have treated all of my friends to a fancy dinner at an upscale restaurant. Too bad I don't have those dollars...
In any event, my windfall is coming to an end, because the newest builds of BitWise here in the "lab" fully support UPnP when running on Windows XP (or Server 2003). It's unfortunate that earlier versions of Windows don't support UPnP, but a majority of Windows users are on XP now. In fact, 75% of Windows BitWise users run XP, and 65% of BitWise users overall run Windows XP.
If you're interested in testing this new UPnP version before the official Beta comes out in the next couple of weeks, we'd love to hear from you--even if you don't use UPnP (so we can check for any potential unwanted side-effects). There are a couple of important forum threads if you're interested:
- UPnP testers thread
- UPnP feature discussion thread
Thanks in advance! If UPnP lives up to its name, then a new era of "it just works" may be coming to BitWise and direct connections. :)
