Now, more than ever, people are turning to television for their entertainment needs. There are a variety of great shows and movies being made every day, and it can be hard to keep up with everything.
This is partly because the rise of streaming sites like Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime Video. Each of these big three streaming services has put out its own award-winning original content, in addition to each streaming service also curating syndicated content, so that we can enjoy classic movies and series to our heart's content. There has truly never been a better time to be a TV and film buff.
However, as many of you are well aware, keeping up with all of these increasingly individualized streaming services can get expensive. Each service has its own monthly subscription fees and adding on to that the fact that each individual network and media company has begun putting out their own streaming services makes the bill even larger.
Notice that all of these networks are currently in the process of launching their own streaming services. In the years to come, we will likely have a situation where each network has its own original and syndicated content, but it will be more expensive due to the monthly fees associated with each service.
Peer to peer file sharing isn't a new innovation. It dates back to the days of Napster and Bear Share.
However, it is arguably more valuable today than ever before for the ways in which it equalizes content - it takes shows and movies that would otherwise require navigating a labyrinth of different streaming platforms in order to find and makes them available 100% free of cost, all in one convenient location.
History
Many people regard uTorrent as one of the best torrenting programs available. It is completely free to download, and it is essentially a more compact version of the popular program, Bit Torrent. In 2004, programmer Serge Paquet suggested that Bit Torrent's creator, Ludvig Strigeus, develop a smaller, more efficient version of the Bit Torrent client.
The development of uTorrent, a less resource intensive torrent client, took almost a year to complete. It is able to download and upload torrents at the same speed as Bit Torrent, with only a fraction of the CPU power used. This was an important development in the history of Bit Torrent and uTorrent quickly became popular among users.
Design
According to sources, uTorrent has rebranded to appear more lightweight and compact than its predecessor, Bit Torrent. The lime green and white theme gives it a more expedient feel, while the deep purples of Bit Torrent make it look more professional. This is a smart rebranding if you ask me; in terms of the design of the client itself, uTorrent and Bit Torrent are nearly identical. This is also smart because users who became accustomed to Bit Torrent will not have to relearn anything, software-wise when it comes time to make the switch to uTorrent.
You will still find the familiar download page where you will keep track of all of your torrents as they are in progress. This is also where you will manage your uploads, too, should you wish to keep your torrents seeding for other users to take advantage of after your download has ended.
The Labels section of the program also allows you to organize your torrents by tag. It's easy to separate your files by media type here, or if you are like me and need to tag everything by artist or director, this is an easy way to do that.
The design of uTorrent is effective and easy to use. However, the downloadable client version of uTorrent does not have a built-in media player which might defeat the purpose of minimizing the memory footprint.
Content
As far as content is concerned, using uTorrent to download media is not the best option. You should use a 3rd party torrent hosting site in order to track your downloads. Once you do, uTorrent will automatically open and you can start downloading files.
That being said, uTorrent has recently begun offering a new in-browser torrenting experience called uTorrent Web. With this, you don't even have to leave your web browser of choice in order to manage, download, and upload torrents. In fact, uTorrent Web completely eliminates the middleman, offering a means by which to search and download your torrents all from the uTorrent Web page.
UTorrent?s web-based application offers a new torrenting experience that solves the executable program's issue of not having a media player. With uTorrent Web, you can play media files in the client, as they download, resulting in what is truly in the words of the uTorrent website, "the next-level torrenting experience." This web-based torrent downloader/media streaming device is probably best reserved for movies, music, and TV show files, though. If you are looking todownload elaborate programs and video games, I would recommend using the classic executable uTorrent program itself.
Desktop and Mobile Experience
If you're looking for a streamlined way to torrent on your desktop and mobile devices, then look no further than the uTorrent app. This handy app allows you to link your devices through a single uTorrent account, making sharing files a breeze. Plus, with the desktop to mobile feature, you'll never have to worry about downloading files multiple times. Get everything done in one go!
Pricing and Plans
Although uTorrent is free, it also has a freemium model. There are three different plans available, each with its own features.
First, there is Ad-Free. This means enjoying all of the benefits of uTorrent without any ads. This also offers premium customer support services and the use of less bandwidth. This package can be yours for the very low price of $4.99 per year.
The next torrent client is Torrent Pro. It has additional security features to block threats and potentially malicious torrents. This is $19.95 a year.
Finally, you can get uTorrent Pro+VPN, which includes everything of Pro but adds in the CyberGhost VPN service for $69.95 per year.
Suggestions that I Have
Currently, it is difficult for users to easily stream and playback torrents from the desktop program version of uTorrent.
Conclusion
Overall, if you are looking for a powerful torrent downloading client that takes up a fraction of computer space and bandwidth while being just as powerful as the rest, uTorrent is the way to go. It is perfect for beginners and experts alike, with a diverse range of streamlined ways to use it (for free without ads) making it a must-have program for torrenting and streaming.
