Five uTorrent Tips & Tricks

As we know, BitTorrent is the world’s most popular file-sharing network. To top that, the company is also responsible with developing uTorrent – the number one file-sharing client out there, and they did a marvellous job thus far; in other words, from one very tiny BitTorrent client, uTorrent grew into what became a comprehensive platform that allows you do more than you could have ever imagined. 

Having about 250 million active users a month, uTorrent is at the very top of the pyramid when it comes to file-sharing clients. Despite its many, many features, people usually tend to only use the basic ones; the guys at BitTorrent Inc. thought of putting together five useful tips and tricks, including a sneak view of uTorrent’s newest feature: the money saving “program”. With that said, let’s get into it.

Bandwidth Cap

Some may find this feature quite useful – especially those of you who have limited bandwidth from your internet provider. By going to the Options>Preferences menu, you can specify the bandwidth limit. In other words, once you’ve reached that limit, uTorrent will stop downloading, saving you from a whole lot of trouble.

Send To Friend

Not many people know about this, but with uTorrent you can share files with friends and family right from your desktop. All you have to do is drag-and-drop a file/folder into the client, and use the provided link as you see fit.

Boss Mode

What Boss Mode does is pretty awesome. Choose a quick-access key (egg. Ctrl+Z) and instantly hide all visible traces of your client. This feature comes useful in times when nosey people take a peek over your shoulder, not minding their own goddam business, ey? Furthermore, you can protect your client with a chosen password.

Labels

By making use of Labels, you can neatly organize your folders. How does it work? Once you’ve picked a name, uTorrent creates a sidebar label that you can easily access. In other words, multiple torrents under the same label will be found in that sidebar. All you have to do is right-click on the torrent, go to Labels, and click the New Label tab. Easy as pie!

uTorrent Android (WiFi mode)

Last but not least, BitTorrent’s crew comes to present the new WiFi mode (scheduled to be available soon) for the Android client. This feature will let anyone using an Android-based phone to properly set the uTorrent Android client. Simply put, the user can check the “Use Wi-Fi Networks only” for his or hers downloads, thus avoiding getting a fat bill.

More Privacy, Less Monitoring With BitTorrent’s Flagship Client (uTorrent)

In a previous article we’ve mentioned a research that revealed a rather upsetting truth: BitTorrent traffic is heavily monitored on. In order to counter the unconstitutional habits of certain companies, BitTorrent decided to bring further modifications to its most popular client – uTorrent.

As you may know by now, a way for third-parties to track your activity is via the IP-address; but there’s another source of information that may do harm – namely the peer-id.

The developing team behind uTorrent is aware of this issue, and they’ve decided to do something about it by integrating a new feature within the client’s code.

“This feature’s operation randomizes peer ids in an n-hour cycle to mitigate tracking of our users when they use non-private torrents. The effect is increased control for our users of their own information and activity which, just like users of any service, our users ask for and are entitled to,” the company told TorrentFreak.

In other words, those of you who use BitTorrent can feel more secure as third-parties will no longer be able to track the peer-id for longer periods of time. As far as IP-addresses are concerned, one must always be careful, especially with public trackers.

“Our users are as concerned as anybody about the free flow and use of their personal information and habits,” BitTorrent told TF.

“So we work on features such as this to protect their privacy, just as companies such as Google, Firefox and Microsoft, in particular with IE8, bring their users more control of their information with things like easy, prominent private browsing features.”

It’s clear enough that privacy is still an issue when we talk about file-sharing, but we can only hope that this issue will one day be a matter of the past.

BitTorrent Launches uTorrent Client For Android

September 6, 2012 by · Comments

It’s been quite some time since BitTorrent promised an Android-native uTorrent client, and now the dream of many has turned into reality. The company finally released uTorrent for Android smartphones and tablets.

The new uTorrent (beta release) comes with a whole lot of useful features, including the opportunity to search for torrents, download files directly on your device, and even RSS feeds.

“For the past few months our engineers have been hard at work developing a mobile BitTorrent app that is worthy of the name uTorrent,” BitTorrent Inc. announced.

“In order to live up to our high standards, we knew that the app would need to be fast, lightweight, powerful and better than anything else currently on the market,” they added.

Prior to this release, users could control uTorrent through an application called “uTorrent remote”.

“We are very excited to add uTorrent for Android to our mobile product arsenal that is already reaching almost 4 million users,” the company said.

However, people are still expecting the uTorrent version for Mac devices (iPhone, iPad), but BitTorrent is currently having other priorities:

“Right now we’re focusing on growing our Android clients,” BitTorrent Inc. told TorrentFreak.

Meanwhile, Apple users can use Falcon – an excellent client that’s compatible with iPhones.

Furthermore, BitTorrent is working on a version of uTorrent for Linux OS. By all means, we congratulate the developing team for their relentless work and dedication. It’s no wonder that uTorrent remains the number one peer-to-peer client in the world!
