uTorrent

uTorrent (?Torrent) is one of the most popular BitTorrent network clients next to BitComet and BitTorrent, characterized by small volume, small system resources uptake and well-developed functionality.

The program is designed to download various types of data (music, movies, software and the like) shared by users around the world, spread in the form of .torrent extension files. It includes a whole range of interesting functions which do not overload the system and commit to the convenience of downloading particularly large amounts of data, e.g. downloading numerous files simultaneously, tasks queuing, task priority assignment and choice of transfer limits and cataloging of downloaded data.



In addition, uTorrent shares plenty of detailed information about the downloaded file and generates transfer statistics. Thus, we may see the so-called seeds and peers, the trackers list and clients and a graph illustrating the transfer of files to/from our computer. It also possesses a built-in RSS reader and the possibility to shut down, reset or hibernate the computer after the completion of downloading or performing all tasks.

One of the greatest advantages of uTorrent, besides its functionality, is a minimal system resources uptake. Around 6 MB of RAM memory may be enough which, combined with the schedule function limiting transfer during chosen hours of each day, enables users to work with other applications during the program?s operation, even at older computers.
