µTorrent (or
uTorrent; commonly abbreviated as "µT" or "uT") is a freeware, closed source
BitTorrent client now owned by BitTorrent, Inc. It is the
most widely used BitTorrent client outside China (where Xunlei is more popular). It gets the "µ" in its name from the SI prefix "micro-", referring to the program's small memory footprint: the program was designed to use minimal computer resources while offering functionality comparable to larger
BitTorrent clients such as Vuze or BitComet. The program has received consistently good reviews for its feature set, performance, stability, and support for older hardware and versions of Windows.
The program has been in active development since its first release in 2005. Although originally developed by Ludvig Strigeus, since December 7, 2006, the code is owned and maintained by
BitTorrent, Inc. The code has also been employed by
BitTorrent, Inc. as the basis for version 6.0 and above of the
BitTorrent client, a re-branded version of
uTorrent.
uTorrent is available for Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. A
uTorrent Server is also available for Linux. All versions are written in C++.
