 |
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).
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 of the BitTorrent client, a re-branded version of µTorrent.
-Features present in µTorrent include:
µTorrent can use as little as 14 MB of RAM running on a 486 processor on Windows 95.
Unicode support for Windows 95/98/ME, avoiding use of the Microsoft Layer for Unicode which is several times larger than µTorrent.
Teredo / IPv6 support.
Micro Transport Protocol preliminary support as of 1.8.2 with full-support added in 2.0.
UPnP support for all versions of Windows, without needing Windows XP's UPnP framework.
Protocol encryption (PE).
Peer exchange (PEX) with other BitTorrent clients.
libtorrent and clients based on it like Deluge have full µTorrent PEX support.
