CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
Still not for the faint of heart, this torrent utility is one of the easiest to use. The uTorrent executable adds a directory and some option information to your PC, but it is still small enough to run off an old USB key.
The memory footprint for uTorrent is very small, and system resources are barely touched. Our testers found that IP phones were difficult to use with a torrent, but uTorrent's simple button interface makes it easy to pause downloading.
The most difficult aspect of using a torrent client is finding the torrents, but included are both a torrent search bar that links to MiniNova and a handy RSS feed download function. Subscribe to select feeds, and uTorrent automatically downloads files as they publish. Adding, starting, pausing, and listing torrents takes merely a click or two each. A speed guide helps you test your ports and adjust system settings for optimal performance.
This is the first version since uTorrent was bought by BitTorrent, and there are some tried-and-true BitTorrent options available, such as Local Peer Discovery and DHT Network. uTorrent isn't overwhelmed with bells and whistles, but it includes enough features to make it the torrent program of choice for novices, intermediate, and advanced users.
Publisher's description
From uTorrent :uTorrent is a powerful and efficient BitTorrent client for Windows. Most of the features present in other BitTorrent clients are present in uTorrent, including bandwidth prioritization, scheduling, RSS auto-downloading, and Mainline DHT. Additionally, uTorrent supports the protocol encryption joint specification and peer exchange. 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.
Contains full Vista support, Local Peer Discovery and various fixes and enhancements. Version 1.7.5 build 4602 fix: rare crash bug with malformed UPnP response and downloads stalled in rare cases.

Version: uTorrent 1.7.5 build 4602
"Big Things Come in Small Packages?"
Pros: Great, it was designed to use as little resources as possible for the Windows user. There's a lot of support available and links/guides for setup ... specific router link guides and setups, great for crowded systems. Downloads faster then most. Follow the instructions and don't get in a hurry, setup correctly it works very well
Cons: It's still free but it was (1.7.5 version) purchased by BitTorrent, Inc. and I think that's worth mentioning.

Version: uTorrent 1.7.5 build 4602
Pros: Having used Kazaa and Limewire, coming to use uTorrent was a breath of fresh air. It provides me with a clean, neat GUI, minimal footprint and all the information that can be important to me while downloading or sharing.

"best little budy for any torrent fanatic"
Pros: organizes your torrents easily and efficiently
Cons: after you downloaded it, it will say that it can't find it even though you haven't moved it. really it just means you can't help other people seed so its really not that big a deal.
