uTorrent
uTorrent is a the most popular BitTorrent client, distributed by the creators of the bittorrent protocol. uTorrent was designed to use as little of the computer’s resources as possible while offering a lot of the functionality expected from ‘full-featured’ clients, such as Azureus and BitComet.
- 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 now BitComet 0.63) 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 160 KB 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.
Some of the more notable features present in uTorrent include:
- Protocol Encryption
- RSS Broadcatching/Toolbar Button
- Configurable bandwidth scheduler
- Customizable search bar and icons
- Localized to different languages
- Multiple simultaneous downloads
- Incredibly small: 155 KB

My favorite bittorrent client. 5 stars.
very informative
ITS GOOD
very useful
this is the best torrent software i have ever had, its easy to use, faster when downloading: could you believe i could download almost 15 DVD movies in a single day. I recommended this software to most of my friends and it seems they are enjoying it more than me. All i can say is that anyone who needs faster torrent downloads should use uttorent and he/ she will never be disappointed.
utilizes very little pc resources and offers some great options for advanced users.
