Works, but more ads than before 5 stars by contact862 Feb 11, 2013 (Read all my 2 reviews)
Have been using this tool a while, a bit annoying they have more ads. I don't know is it just me or does it seem to cause my system to be a little more slugish than with previous versions. showShow review details
Not your father's utorrent 1 stars by raptozilla Dec 15, 2012 (Read all my 6 reviews)
This used to be a good program before Bit Torrent bought them out. Since then it has gone way downhill and has become nothing more than a Bit Torrent clone; it's more bloated and buggier than the old uTorrent client. It's bearable on Windows 7, but really bites on XP. I have an older computer that I use to share torrents that has XP, and I use version 2.21 on that, but even that is still a bit inconsistent and buggy. If you're still using XP, it's best to go with their pre-buyout version, 2.12. At one point, I was sent a survey question through the program interface that asked me what I would do if they discontinued uTorrent. I told them that I would use something else or switch to an earlier version, which I had already done on my other computer. So, since uTorrent is really no different than their Bit Torrent client, and the fact that they are asking such a question seems to indicate that they will eventually drop uTorrent rather than return it to its roots. showShow review details
More and more ads.. and uploads always lack 1 stars by thetechfirm Nov 19, 2012
I got banned from a site that tracks my uploads and despite seeding and leaving utorrent up for days the upload rate was still low. I'm looking for something else, this has gone downhill for the past few years showShow review details
Great for downloading horrible on uploading 3 stars by EricPost Mar 16, 2009 (Read all my 10 reviews)
I found a huge bug in uTorrent. You can create a torrent using uTorrent and it does't always seed correctly. Once you upload a certain amount, if you hit stop - force -> recheck, uTorrent no longer recognizes your hash on the file YOU create. This leaves everyone of the people trying to download the file from you with an incomplete file, and you can't fix it. The uTorrent people have told me it's the fault of Windows Media Player tagging mp3 or WMA or whatever files you use. This is a MAJOR flaw, that you now have corrupt files you're transfering all over the place. While it works well if you just download, make sure you constantly do a force -> recheck for any torrents you start. This explains a lot of why people have torrents that for no reason suddenly get stuck showShow review details
This might be the best 5 stars by Henry8 Feb 09, 2009 (Read all my 37 reviews)
I'm not a heavy user / provider of torrents, but now and then I find myself there. I've been using Azureus, but when I got wild about downloading Battlestar Galactica, I started to wonder if it all had to be that heavy and slow. Azureus gave me 10-50, 150kb/s, at most, but with uTorrent I got up to 400 or, momentarily, even 800kb/s... it was unbelievable for an older program with quite few seeders - and it just kept the speed! This is a highly recommendable program; the only problem I've had is some stalling with my firewall, a thing they admit in uTorrent's FAQ. It caused some slowdown in other Internet activity but then, I was getting down some 30 files, and you can't expect to get everything done in all circumstances, can you? All in all, an awesome product. And to consider: it's free. Having tried this and that, I'd claim this might be the best. showShow review details
The very best p2p program 5 stars by BillPfeifer Jan 31, 2009 (Read all my 3 reviews)
This tiny program is my very favorite for peer-to-peer file sharing. It is outstanding in all aspects. showShow review details
Cannot disagree with anyone here 5 stars by megabob6666 Jan 27, 2009 (Read all my 19 reviews)
It's just the lightest, lowest resource using, easiest to use, best torrent software there is, no if's, and's, or but's. The hardest part of using this software is getting your port forwarded on your modem, but portforward.com is a big help since they have begun offering detailed instructions on how to port forward a wide variety of modems. showShow review details
Works perfectly 5 stars by ruthless Jan 01, 2009 (Read all my 38 reviews)
I downloaded this software for my first experience with torrent files...so far it has been excellent - very lightweight.(I am running it on an external hard drive as it is standalone.)A very simple interface and a changeable port option gets you going straight away.I use the copy and paste option to link it to the file but there are also other options to do this ..it does miss out on excellent ..just because it doesnt have a search facility .. torrent sites can be a bit of a minefield! I highly recommend this for use with SiteAdvisor(on snapfiles). Thank you for a great bit of kit that is free, marvelous!! showShow review details
The best 5 stars by Klatuu Aug 22, 2008 (Read all my 13 reviews)
Of all the torrent programs I've tried (on several machines), uTorrent is by far the fastest. It's basic, but but packs in all the features you need, and that's far preferred to bloatware. showShow review details
Freakin great torrenter 5 stars by Chazzz Nov 11, 2007 (Read all my 9 reviews)
This tiny Program acts like a Giant. All the features of the resource gobblers. How the heck did they make it so small. Smart Dudes or Dudettes. Very easy to setup. Firewalls are happy with it. I have had great speeds with this little dude. GET IT and dump your other one....;o) showShow review details
Best torrent program out there! 5 stars by zoso1231 Mar 26, 2007 (Read all my 2 reviews)
Best torrent program out there! I have tried 3 different torrent programs and for whatever reason, uTorrent downloaded torrents faster then any other program I have ever used. I used to only get around 20-30kbs-download speed, but for some reason uTorrent gives me around 30-60kbs. Lose your old torrent program and get this, trust me. showShow review details
Perfect bittorrent client 5 stars by Dreamer888 Nov 25, 2006 (Read all my 9 reviews)
All features, intuitive, easy to use, low CPU/memory usage, no install, even lots of skins (if you need) - just perfect! showShow review details
Best torrent client ever was or will be 5 stars by pepoluan Oct 16, 2006 (Read all my 23 reviews)
It's small, it's free, it's blazingly fast, it's thrifty on resources, it's amazingly configurable... what else? You can even make it portable: move the three .dat files from Application DatauTorrent into the utorrent.exe folder, and it becomes user-insensitive. Copy all of them (and the torrent download directories) onto a flash drive... and you can download your torrent anywhere! showShow review details
