uTorrent is an efficient BitTorrent client for Windows from the originator of the BitTorrent protocol. uTorrent has a lot of the same features as other BitTorrent clients, such as bandwidth prioritisation, scheduling, RSS auto-downloading, and Mainline DHT. uTorrent also works with the joint encryption specification protocol and peer exchange. Unlike many torrent clients, it doesn't take up a lot of system resources. It usually uses less than 6MB of memory, so you can use the computer as if it wasn't even there.

🔍 Review
uTorrent is a popular BitTorrent client that is known for being lightweight and efficient. It includes features such as scheduling, bandwidth management, and Mainline DHT, as well as a unique protocol that detects and corrects for heavy traffic. However, the application is ad-heavy, which may be bothersome to some users, and there are copyright issues to be aware of as it is illegal to use BitTorrent to post or download copyrighted material. Despite these drawbacks, uTorrent is considered sufficient for most users, with the usual caveats about P2P sharing.
👍 Pros
- Easy to set up: The setup wizard can automatically add an exception for uTorrent in Windows Firewall.
- Customizable user interface: Display a lot of information and buttons or keep it clean with just the basics.
- RSS auto-downloading: Makes for speedy feed updates.
- Low system resource usage: Typically using less than 6MB of memory.
👎 Cons
- Ad-heavy: Ads are geared toward young adult males, and some of the online services advertised might not be appropriate for some users.
- Copyright issues: It’s illegal to use BitTorrent to post or download copyrighted material.
- Heavy users might need more than uTorrent’s free client offers.
