UTorrent 2.2
is easy on the eyes and smart on your network. The
memory footprint for uTorrent is very small, and system resources are
barely touched. While you're torrenting, you shouldn't be surprised to
find that other programs that use your Internet connection slow down,
but the latest version of uTorrent has an answer to that. Called
uTorrent Protocol, or uTP, it's a built-in throttling that detects
network congestion and slows down the torrent until the traffic jam has
dissipated.
Version 2.2 includes a transfer cap, so that users
who have had limits imposed by their ISPs can keep track and
automatically kill torrenting when that limit is reached. Skins have
also been introduced, but there's no skins option in Preferences:
instead, you must go to the uTorrent site and download and install them
yourself. That's unnecessarily irritating.
The most difficult
aspect of using a torrent client is still finding the torrents, but
included are both a torrent search bar and a handy RSS feed download
function. Subscribe to select feeds, and uTorrent automatically
downloads files as they publish. Adding, starting, pausing, and listing
torrents takes merely a click each. A speed guide helps you test your
ports and adjust system settings for optimal performance, although watch
out for the opt-out Ask.com toolbar when you install. Combined with
Local Peer Discovery and DHT Network options, and Teredo and Ipv6
support, uTorrent should be the torrent program of choice for novices,
intermediate, and advanced users.
