Thread: uTorrent 2 released: better Performance & Bandwidth Control

I have been using utorrent to download movies for a long time, even before Utorrent were bought out by BitTorrent Inc.
And i was beta testing utorrent before they released the final version, the only other bittorrent client that is good is Transmission
for Linux (and i think Mac). I used it on ubuntu 9.04.
But utorrent is simply the best, very easy to configure and light to use, since it does not consume much of resources.

yes, utorrent is the best and smallest torrent client.

I havent used Transmission on ubuntu. Its there be default but still to give it a try

I've used BitTorrent for a couple of years; didn't know they bought uTorrent. That might explain the similarities in the GUIs. Thanks for the heads up - I'll give it a try.

Yes, utorrent was bought by bittorrent right back in 2006. Here's the story related to it.
