uTorrent for PC

 

Download uTorrent for PC

uTorrent is the perfect P2P client to download torrents for free to your computer to enjoy the best movies, series, and music.

We are downloading less and less material to our computer: the evolution of technology has meant that the consumption of music has turned to stream, with services like Spotify, instead of MP3 downloads, and watching movies and from series to video on demand, with Netflix as the big king, instead of downloading them to the PC. But that doesn't mean downloads are dead. Firstly because not all artists are available on the Swedish music streaming service and secondly because Netflix doesn't have all the movies and series that you can enjoy, like Game of Thrones, for example.

The king of P2P downloads.

For this reason, no one should be surprised if you keep downloading, even if it is less and less, and arguably one of the best methods is the BitTorrent protocol, for peer-to-peer or P2P file sharing. And although this protocol has its official download client, uTorrent has become the preferred choice for users of this network to download all kinds of video, audio, document, ebook, or software files for their computers.

uTorrent or BitTorrent? What are the differences?

Even though we just told you that uTorrent is top software and much better than the official app for downloading torrents on Windows, that's also not quite true. Some argue that this client is lighter and helps to get downloads to finish sooner, but in reality, the two desktop apps have been developed in parallel by the same company since 2006 and it's hard to believe that this one wants to promote one of the two developments under its name. However, although the differences are not obvious, the software created by Ludvig Strigeus continues to gain more followers.

uTorrent Pro for the most demanding

Everything we have said so far refers to the free version of the software. But if you're tired of having to put up with the more or less invasive advertising it has, you can use the Ad-Free or Ad-Free version for the low price of $ 5 a year.

How to configure the client to download faster

This is the question many users ask themselves: How do you optimize torrent download speed? By searching the internet you will be able to find many tutorials that will tell you how to open one port or another, adjust bandwidth by limiting upload speed, and configure the download queue or the maximum number of simultaneous downloads. In reality, you have to rely on a series of details that will help you download faster but without being complicated to want to know everything because the information is sometimes contradictory:

1. Open the port assigned by the software, or change it to another to avoid blocking from the router or the firewall. If you don't know which one to choose, do it randomly.
2. Control the number of active downloads: Limit the number of transfers so that bandwidth is not distributed among too many downloads.
3. Share downloaded torrents to avoid download speed penalties.
4. Control the number of seeds because the number of users who have the file is important for the transfer.
5. Update the software to the latest version: an up-to-date client will always perform better than an obsolete one, and it will also be more secure.
