The site got updated for me. Got the 2.5.0.0 version. Looks good. The new torrent info bar is especially good. Cheers eddie! (Though it was my older azureus which notified me of the version update. :p)

Did you check that the new version is actually installed? Is it showing correct version on the status bar in bottom right side?
