Description

uTorrent for Mac is a powerful and efficient BitTorrent client that has been designed to provide users with an easy-to-use interface, fast download speeds, and a range of advanced features. With uTorrent Mac, you can easily download and share files over the internet using the popular BitTorrent protocol.

One of the key features of uTorrent for Mac is its support for uTP (micro transport protocol), which is a lightweight BitTorrent protocol that makes incredibly efficient use of network bandwidth while reducing network problems. This means that you can enjoy faster download speeds without having to worry about your internet connection being slowed down by other applications or devices on your network.

In addition to its support for uTP, uTorrent also supports the Protocol Encryption joint specification (compatible with Azureus 2.4.0.0 and above, BitComet 0.63 and above) and peer exchange. This ensures that your downloads are secure and private, while also allowing you to connect with other users who are sharing similar files.

One of the standout features of uTorrent for Mac is its efficiency. Unlike many other torrent clients that can hog valuable system resources, uTorrent has been designed from the ground up to be lightweight and efficient - typically using less than 6MB of memory on your computer. This means that you can use your computer as if it weren't there at all while still enjoying fast download speeds.

Another great feature of uTorrent for Mac is its ease-of-use. The user interface has been designed to be intuitive and user-friendly so even novice users will find it easy to get started with downloading their favorite files over BitTorrent.

Overall, if you're looking for a powerful yet lightweight BitTorrent client for your Mac computer then look no further than uTorrent for Mac! With its advanced features such as support for micro transport protocol (uTP), Protocol Encryption joint specification compatibility, peer exchange capabilities along with an intuitive user interface make it one of the best options available in this category!

Review

uTorrent for Mac is a basic, free, and fast BitTorrent client that makes it easy for you to download torrent files. It's a bit thin on features, but it's lightweight and lets you download files hassle-free.

Pros

Fast and reliable: uTorrent for Mac downloads files much more quickly than other peer-to-peer file sharing applications that we have used in the past, such as the now-defunct Limewire, without limiting our ability to use our Internet connection with other applications. It's a bit stripped down in features compared to other popular clients such as Vuze (Azureus), but if ease of use is all you need, you won't mind this.

Automated bandwidth adjusting: This application has been programmed to auto-adjust the amount of bandwidth it uses. You can also manually set limits for bandwidth used for uploading and downloading files.

Helpful resources: This program features an intuitive yet basic OS X-style interface, so you won't have trouble finding your way. However, if you are unfamiliar with the BitTorrent protocol and how torrent files work, don't distress -- the uTorrent Web site offers very helpful guides, including a wonderfully clear and informative video that will help get you started.

Cons

Cannot search torrents: While it will facilitate the sharing and downloading of torrent files, this program doesn't actually have an integrated search. It does include a search box, which takes you to your Web browser to find the files you want to download.

Beware of malware: While installing uTorrent, we were first prompted to agree to let the application change our default home pages on all our Web browsers and to allow the tracking of our browsing history. After clicking that we disagreed, we were redirected to the actual uTorrent license agreement.

Bottom Line

If you're looking for a BitTorrent client that offers a quick and easy way to download torrent files, then you'll definitely love uTorrent for Mac. This program lacks advanced searching capabilities and some features found in other similar programs, but this shouldn't be a problem for you if you just need a fast and reliable client.
