uTorrent is an efficient and feature rich BitTorrent client for Windows sporting a very small footprint. It was designed to use as little cpu, memory and space as possible while offering all the functionality expected from advanced clients.

Love it! Clean, fast, lots of options, and works how I want it to. I do wish you could export/import settings (or maybe you can and I missed it?) that way when I format or change computers I don't have to pour through them all over again.

This build is broken (16667). If you go to their site they have rolled it back to 16442. The download link here is for 16442.

"Fast & Simple" uTorrent is way to easy to use and fast. Clean interface with great options for opening up or closing done bandwidth as well as a customizable search. The best thing is it is not a memory hog and you can run it from a USB stick! None that I can find. You won't be sorry using uTorrent. Do your searches on ISOHunt.com or Pirate Bay and be happy. Just get it!

uses way less memory than bitcomet, it shows what parts of a file u need 2 get & whats available, it tells you what time a file completed useful if u want 2 know how long file took to get. easy 2 set up none of the hassle of bitcomet listening ports can take a long time to check a file after you close the programme eg a 90gb torrent takes minutes to check. it doesnt like downloading as many things as i could with bitcomet at the same time..this freezes if you do 6 torrents or more at same time on vista its good, ill keep bitcomet on my other pc running xp to continue to compare them. would be great if they linked to some free legal sites to get torrents from, with lots of people using fast broadband we need to know where to get good legal files from. ps check and bookmark www.beingahuman.blogspot.com for all the software i recommend

the installer has now Ask.Com as toolbar and starting page feature, look carefull & just uncheck ifyou do not want this. like to see a feature that when the downloads all are finished at shut down the pc automaticely by utorrent it can be extended for 1 or 2 or 3 hours to seed more before shutting down!!! this would be so cool :-) private trackers are almost all like to see you use the latest version or all torrents are goiing into red and don't connect to their tracker so install this version i can recommend you

This little monster surpassed all my expectations. It is fast, easy to use, and usefull to people of all experience levels. I miss the mininova, and piratebay search options of the old versions, but just going to the sites themselves takes about %0.0003 more time so I'm really just complaining about the smallest dimond in a huge pile of sparkly treasure. This is simply the most usefull program on my computer. Most of the other programs on my PC I got through this program. If the internet were a genie who granted you one wish; this would be the brite idea to wish for more wishes. Movies, music, books, software, games, they're all there, and this is how you get them. There are other torrent programs out there, but utorrent is as fast as any other, it is simple enough for someone just starting out in the torrent world, and customizable enough to let the experienced user really go to town.

"simple and easy to use" simple easy and safe to use has some good options like when you start a download you can set it to close down your cp/laptop when finished great for overnight downloads found nothing as a down side user friendly and lots of little help files to keep your downloads safe and as secure as your system allows

"Nice and easy to use client" Fast, little memory, small size (less then 1mb!) The only con I can think of is that when viewing what parts you are downloading it don't not display what the priority is. Just a small pet peeve.

"Quite easy to work with" Handles the torrent downloads with very little user interaction. Does not always report peers Definitely worth the price (it's FREE!!). It's a very useful utility.

This version is not finding local peers for some reason, otherwise, it's perfect.

"best torrent downloader" keeps improving and works very well. slow shutting down the uploads. Very good tool and is free,works real good if you have a good firewall to keep viruses away.

"Used it for a long time with no problems!!" Works great and simple to use. None in my opinion. Good free software, so give it a try!
