µTorrent is a small and incredibly popular
BitTorrent client.
Micro-Sized Yet Feature
Filled
Most of the features present in other
BitTorrent clients are present in µTorrent, including bandwidth prioritization,
scheduling, RSS auto-downloading and Mainline DHT (compatible with BitComet).
Additionally, µTorrent supports the Protocol Encryption joint specification
(compatible with Azureus 2.4.0.0 and above, BitComet 0.63 and above) and peer
exchange.
Resource-Friendly
µTorrent was written with efficiency in mind.
Unlike many torrent clients, it does not hog valuable system resources -
typically using less than 6MB of memory, allowing you to use the computer as if
it weren't there at all. Additionally, the program itself is contained within a
single executable less than 1 MB in size.
Skinnable and Localized
Various icon, toolbar graphic and status icon
replacements are available, and creating your own is very simple. µTorrent also
has support for localization, and with a language file present, will
automatically switch to your system language. If your language isn't available,
you can easily add your own, or edit other existing translations to improve
them!
Actively Developed and
Improved
The developer puts in a lot of time working on
features and making things more user-friendly. Releases only come out when
they're ready, with no schedule pressures, so the few bugs that appear are
quickly addressed and fixed.
