µTorrent is an efficient and feature rich BitTorrent client for Windows
sporting a very small footprint. µTorrent was designed to use as little
cpu, space and memory as possible while offering all the functionalites
expected from advanced clients. With BitTorrent, you can download files
faster and contribute by sharing files and bandwidth.
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.
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 260 KB in size.
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!
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.
