Mac Based uTorrent Application Leaked

An early Alpha release of the long awaited Mac version of the popular BitTorrent client uTorrent has leaked to the public. The application is still in its testing phase, but apparently most features prove very operative. To no one’s surpriseAs expected, the client has a very Mac-like appearance, and is even superior to its Windows brother.

A new BitTorrent client for Mac users is available for a tryout starting a couple of days ago when an "alpha" build of uTorrent found its way to The Pirate Bay, zeropaid reports.

BitTorrent’s VP of Product Management, Simon Morris, commented the leak shortly after: “An internal development build of uTorrent for Mac has been leaked publicly. It [is] an “alpha” quality build. We did not intentionally release this build and would strongly recommend folks not to use it as it isn’t yet complete or stable enough to be released to the public.”

It seems that the app offers good functionality apart from the search feature.

Some wonder whether the leak was unintentional and is possibly serving a promotional purpose as Morris goes on saying “The good part [of this leak] is that this is a testament to the fact that we’re serious about releasing uTorrent for Mac in the near future (And counter to recent rumors, this is indeed the uTorrent code-base ported onto OSX, not just Libtorrent with a Mac UI). Hopefully more news coming soon. We have a sign-up page on the uTorrent website.”
