Publisher's description of uTorrent 1.7.5

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.

Version 1.7.5 contains full Vista support, Local Peer Discovery and various fixes and enhancements.

Editor's review of uTorrent 1.7.5

4.0 stars
"Light and quick downloading"

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.

"aggreed with everyone"

by hmj_2003 on September 26, 2007

Pros: i love the fast speeds and the fact that it's light on resources.
yea, going at the max download bandwidth your modem can support has its disadvantages. but once you let 5-10 movies downloading over night, you'll be happy to see everyone done by the morning.

Cons: i can't see my myspace messages when i get one. i get an error "uTorrent is hoggin all the bandwidth dammit!"
lol that's about it. :D

"No BETTER nor No WORSE than BitTorrent, from whom it was copied from!!"

by rightonwithlighton on October 6, 2007

Pros: It works from Bit Torrent's web site and by doing so, the normal USER does NOT have to deal with PORT problems!!

Cons: Plagerism is NOT a furtue.

"Utorrent works good for me"

by chobbler on September 21, 2007

Pros: Ive tried quite a few different torrent utilities but this 1 seems to do it all in an easy ordered sort of way and works great.

Cons: the standard settings seem to be set a bit high, eg, i have a 2mb broadband which is low these days but it downloads at 130ks which is ok so long as you dont expect to view web pages in your browser very fast. However everything is adjustable so you can tweak it so its not a bad comment really.
