"I tried other torrent apps but this one is the best"
Version: uTorrent 1.5.10
Pros
uTorrent tries to get the least available parts of a file first. This saves you from the disappointment of an incomplete download if only part of the file is actually available. Uploading goes much faster than with other torrent apps I tried, so it takes less time to upload enough to balance the giving and taking. uTorrent seems to make more efficient use of bandwidth and CPU than some other torrent programs I tried. I was used to notice diminished responsiveness in the browser when I was downloading. With uTorrent this is not the case.
Cons
If you want to search torrents with your torrent programme then you need another app.
Summary
uTorrent does not have the slick the look of more professionally developed torrent programmes. And it also is not a program that offers many bells and whistles. But it is very good in the core functionality for which is was made: downloading and uploading files using the bittorrent protocol. I actually prefer to use my browser to visit torrent websites and to download the torrents from there. Then I can read more information about the torrents I select, then is possible using the searching facility in some torrent apps. So I do not need searching capabilities in my torrent program. uTorrent get much sooner involved in uploading a file that is being downloaded, than I have seen in other torrent apps. Pretty soon the upload speed exceeds the download speed (I have a symmetrical connection) and so it is very easy to compensate the downloading with sufficient uploading: by the time the download is complete, the amount uploaded often is already more than the amount that was downloaded. This is good and necessary for the torrentnet to complete the distribution of a file to all who want it. The more I use uTorrent, the more I am pleasantly surprised at how well it does what it is made for. Recommended.

"Easy to Use But Flawed"
Version: uTorrent 1.5.2
Pros
Easy to use interface.
Cons
Transmission refused to download a torrent it said was invalid, so I tried uTorrent as a test. I was happy when it started and DL'd all 520MB. Unfortunately it was a bad file after all, and the DL was empty.
Transmission is also faster.Summary
Transmission is better and at least as easy to use.
