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

Ashwin, do the new stable version require any additional settings from the older 1.8 version?
If you are talking about upload/download speed cap, I dont think you need to change anything, (as long as you get good speed) :spider:Quote:

# The setup dialog has been overhauled to make it much easier to use and with a built-in speed test. It's still not quite complete yet, but this will give you a good taste of what we're up to with it!
# A new transfer cap feature has been added to track bandwidth usage, along with graphs to show your usage.
I saw a screenshot of Utorrent 1.8 at filehippo.com and the only change (in the preferences screen) between 1.8 and the current version is the "Transfer cap feature".
I have not used version 1.8 for over a year,but like I said before, if you get the same speed in the new version , nothing needs to be altered.
If you want to tweak utorrent to get the maximum speed possible for your Internet connection, read the following pages:
