UTorrent Web is only available for Windows, but it will likely be ported to other operating systems if this launch is successful. With a simple download to play experience as the focal point of µTorrent Web, we see more users successfully downloading and playing torrents than with any other product in BitTorrent’s history.ĭespite today’s release, BitTorrent promises that the desktop version of uTorrent, which will now be referred to as uTorrent Classic, will live on: “Our long-term plan is to continue development across both products and make them available on .” When we first started the project, our vision was to build a torrent client with simplicity and quick playability.
At least, that’s how BitTorrent explains it: The idea is that making all this possible inside the browser will make downloading torrent files easier for average internet users. It’s also possible to set uTorrent Web to start up when your computer boots or clear your search history, and of course you can choose uTorrent Web as your default torrent client. You can pick your language, your default download folder, and even whether to open each torrent in a new tab.
The app’s settings are far from rudimentary. Downloading is just as fast as you would expect, and playback is seamless - even subtitles are pulled in automatically, assuming they’re included in the torrent file. You can search for content on your regular torrent sites or use uTorrent Web’s search box, which redirects you to Google. Other file types can be downloaded as well - it’s really just like a normal BitTorrent client.Īfter installation, uTorrent Web will try to open torrent and magnet links automatically in a browser window. Just like uTorrent, uTorrent Web can play audio and video files before they’ve finished downloading, but unlike uTorrent, the playback also happens inside the browser. The main difference between uTorrent Web and its counterparts is that all the downloading happens in your browser. UTorrent Web has been available in beta for years, but today the web-based torrent client is finally available as a stable version.
