uTorrent

uTorrent implements many of the features introduced by much larger clients, but uTorrent retains a very small memory footprint. uTorrent's typical memory usage is less than 6 MB, and the CPU use is low enough for most older systems (as low as 486) to run it. uTorrent is one of the most popular BiTorrent clients for PC users.

uTorrent is a BitTorrent client for Microsoft Windows. uTorrent is included in a single 214 KiB (as of April 2008) executable. It 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

I wonder about the concern that as uTorrent is closed-source and linked to anti-piracy private French company, uTorrent is vulnerable to someday include user-spying code. What do you think?

Hey guys, check out this cool site for utorrent/azureus/bittorrent users: extremebittorrent.com I was hit by my ISP's throttling and could not download movies and tv episodes via utorrent. after tweaking my system according to the "extreme bittorrent" guide and using their recommendde softwares, my speed suddenly jumped from 60-70k to 3mbps! now i can watch movies online and also download via utorrent. in fact, now-a-days i prefer downloading from torrents because the speed is simply great and i don't have to wait for more than 15-25 minutes for a 700 mb movie. trust me, once you read this quick guide, nothing will be the same again. just download that guide from extremebittorrent.com make changes to the system and watch your movies and music albums come rushing to you!

I'd been an Azureus user since 2004. I came across this page and decided to try out uTorrent. I can safely say that as soon as I'd used it I uninstalled Azureus immediately and will NEVER turn back. Utorrent is the fastest, most resource-friendly bit-torrent client. I recommend ANY and EVERYone who isn't using it to make the switch!
