Review

After updating to version 1.8, the smallest torrent downloading application on the internet has just gotten better. From better Windows Vista support to a new protocol being supported, µTorrent 1.8 is making a statement. Some of the newest features added with this release includes a new ebui which allows you to control µTorrent from any computer at any time and at any place. This allows you to make optimal usage of your internet connection while away from your computer. µTorrent also has an amazing ability to be customized to however you want or need it to act. Its highly user friendly interface along with its labeling system is a great resource for those who use torrents on a day to day basis. µTorrent is also portable. If you were to copy its configuration file to the directory where the program is then you can take it with you anywhere. This is a useful feature for those who are always on the go. After updating to version 1.8, µTorrent has shown that size doesn't matter and hopes to one day be the most popular BitTorrent client available on the planet.

	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. Even though uTorrent is now owned by BitTorrent, there haven't been many noticeable drawbacks, if any. Some tried-and-true BitTorrent options are available to uTorrent users, such as Local Peer Discovery and DHT Network. The latest version also includes Teredo and Ipv6 support, and patches a critical security error that has been discovered in all pre-1.8 builds, making this one of the secure torrent clients around. Throw in all the other features, and that should make it the torrent program of choice for novices, intermediate, and advanced users.
