A very tiny bittorrent client.

Features:
- Multiple simultaneous downloads
- Configurable bandwidth scheduler
- Global and per-torrent speed limiting
- Quick-resumes interrupted transfers
- RSS Downloader
- Trackerless support (Mainline DHT)

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 220 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!

Releases only come out when they're ready, with no schedule pressures, so the few bugs that appear are quickly addressed and fixed.

What are µTorrent's system requirements?
Very low. It works on as weak a system as Windows 95 on a 486 with
14MiB of RAM (with the Winsock2 update), up to 2003 and Vista. It
also works on 64-bit Windows.

Why does this say 4.9? Something is up with this one.

Winrar certainly DOES support multi-threading. You can enable it in
the options.

Stable is. Maybe 1.8 is a beta.
