µTorrent for Windows

uTorrent is a multifunctional BitTorrent client with a built-in scheduler and media player, a flexible interface, automatic integration into the operating system and a remote control system that allows adding new torrent files to download over the network and without access to a PC.

In addition to an impressive collection of features, the developers also thought about technologies: content is downloaded without restrictions on volume and time in multi-threaded mode using the P2P protocol. As a result, the speed is always maximum, and a suitable source is searched for in a semi-automatic mode.

µTorrent Features

• Official support for the Russian language, full interface customization with the ability to choose a theme;
• Built-in scheduler and priority system: developers offer to download a torrent file in the manner that suits the current moment;
• Unlimited download speed;
• Function of automatic selection of parameters for the network;
• Ability to manually set traffic limits in cases where the Internet connection is not unlimited;
• Video and music converter, media player for viewing files not yet downloaded;
• Built-in encryption, proxy and RSS feed support;
• “Pairing” technology that allows you to link mobile equipment and computers together for remote control of downloads and torrent files.

Functionality, Premium and Interface

The key purpose of uTorrent is to download information stored in torrent files or added via magnet links. Other BitTorrent clients that have long been presented on the network offer similar opportunities. But uTorrent has plenty of advantages: a classic interface with predictable navigation, RSS feed support, the ability to set download limits and priorities, and also plan future actions for days to come.

It is possible to download content through a Proxy, and also enable DHT network, scrape requests and encryption to protect confidential information. As an added bonus – additional recommendations for beginners, designed in the form of step-by-step instructions with all the necessary actions.

If the basic features of µTorrent aren’t enough, the developers also offer the Premium suite, available for $ 19.95 per year. Among the advantages: a built-in media player capable of playing even videos and music tracks that have not been fully downloaded, semi-automatic conversion of content into a suitable format, antivirus, priority assistance in the support service. And no ads: no pop-ups, no banner ads that take up screen space.

Updates and settings

Updates for uTorrent appear frequently: developers are still introducing new content (among the innovations are a tagging system for lightning-fast content sorting, parental control and “remote access” technology that allows you to manage downloads on an authorized computer over the network through the official website of the BitTorrent client), and at the same time – deal with the detected problems and errors. Minor updates include improved energy efficiency (useful for laptop owners), improved optimizations, and new translation languages.

The settings panel has become wider: it also touches upon issues related to integration, themes, networking, localization, the preview menu and the holistic design of the quick access and navigation bar. uTorrent will become smaller, more detailed, larger, and even more powerful – you just need to figure out the details.
