2.0.1 Build 18408 Beta

7 2010 03 16 26901 views

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 400 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.

Features of "µTorrent":
• Multiple simultaneous downloads
• Smart bandwidth usage
• File level priorities
• Configurable bandwidth scheduling
• Global and per-torrent speed limiting
• Quickly resumes interrupted transfers
• UPnP support (WinXP only)
• Supports popular protocol extensions
• Trackerless support (Mainline DHT)
• Localized to different languages
• Typical memory use less than 6 MB
• Incredibly small: about 400 KB

µTorrent 2.0 Release Notes:
• We've added UDP tracker support!
• uTP has been improved significantly over the previous alpha, with many bugs fixed and performance improvements. It's no longer hidden in Advanced settings.
• The setup dialog has been overhauled to make it much easier to use and with a built-in speed test. It's still not quite complete yet, but this will give you a good taste of what we're up to with it!
• A new transfer cap feature has been added to track bandwidth usage, along with graphs to show your usage.

Feature Overview:
UDP trackers are a different protocol for tracker communication that uses significantly less processing power on the tracker end. It's important for us to support this because trackers have limited resources, so this should allow them to support many more users with their current hardware and not crash under the load.
uTP is an alternative communication method for BitTorrent traffic that allows the client to automatically regulate its bandwidth usage to avoid adversely impacting your internet connection. This will allow you or other users on the network to download their torrents without killing your connection without any additional setup required.
The transfer cap settings were added in response to various users who have ISP-mandated caps on how much data they can download/upload in a month. Now you can track your usage in MB (with a handy graph to visualize it) and even configure µTorrent to stop torrenting once the limits are exceeded. Currently, you can configure the time interval, the data cap and whether it should stop based on only download, upload, or both combined.
As a privacy notice, this traffic data is not sent back to us or anyone.

Torrent works better on Windows 7 beacuse it does not have half-open limit :)

AuRiMaS666 6 November 2009 17:32:

All you need to know is, that µTorrent is the best bittorrent client and Bitcomet is the worst...

The best torrent client keeps getting better and better. I love this program and it's still under 300kb in size. Amazing!! :)

I think uTorrent is better than BitComet. But maybe Vuze (Formerly Azureus) can be the best. Don't know without a test.

Microsoft first introduced this limit in Windows XP SP2 and it is present in later versions, which purpose is to try to slow the spread of virus and malware from system to system, and also to reduce the impact of infected systems participating in DoS (Denial of Service) attacks.

But this limit also effects software that make a lot of connections at once like uTorrent. The limit is max 10 connections.

The newest Windows Vista/2008 SP2, Windows 7 is unlimited in default, please read this article:

Vuze is complete bloated crap. Besides that it is also a java application, which takes far too much resources for what it does.

utorrent is the best for most people, very user friendly, very tweakable, tiny size and light on resources.

but overall best client performance wise hands down is rtorrent on linux (get the webui's for it if you -need- a GUI)

i tested bitcomet,utorrent and finally vuze.now i wil give my review acc to my experience(note:i tested with same torrent at same time,ports forwarded for these 3 clients while testing)

1.bitcomet - of all these bitcomet is da fastest downloader even it grasps very less number of seeds when compared to utorrent and vuze but worst part of bitcomet is its downloads are very unstable ,and other client users and private trackers ban it while downloading and bitcomet takes lots of time to download a file even if its da fastest downloader

2.utorrent - i know this is da world leading one but acc my experience its slowest downloader among the 3 which i tested and light weight one.grasps more number of seeds when compared to bitcomet.comlpetes downloading a given file quickly than bitcomet even its slowest one

3.VUZE - and finally vuze.this is da BEST torent client acc my tests(i am not argiuing with others opinions).it almost reaches da download speeds of bitcomet and grasps more number of seeds and had lots of exclusive options and features which are absent both in bitcomet and utorrent and stood ALWAYS first to complete downloads when compared with bitcomet n utorrent

acc to my tests,results : first place goes to VUZE absolutely
and da worst is bitcomet ,utorrent is better than bitcomet.this acc to my experience(not arguiung with others opinion,its my individual opinion only),thats all thank u
