µTorrent (or uTorrent; commonly abbreviated as “µT” or “uT“) is a freeware, closed source BitTorrent client 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 memoryfootprint: the program is 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. A report showed that µTorrent is the second most popular BitTorrent client (after the Chinese Xunlei). It is available for Windows and Mac OS X. A µTorrent Server is available for Linux. All versions are written in C++.
