Stable Version of uTorrent Web

uTorrent is the website based torrent version. The version that allows its users to download and play the downloaded torrent files in the browser itself. uTorrent web was previously available in the beta version. And recently, the stable version of uTorrent web has been launched by BitTorrent – the company that owns both BitTorrent and uTorrent.

What exactly BitTorrent is?

BitTorrent generally referred to the peer-to-peer (P2P) file-sharing protocol associated with piracy. There exists this company – BitTorrent, which owns the two most popular clients for the protocol: BitTorrent and uTorrent.

The data and shows streamed by BitTorrent are considered to be pirated. Hence, let us not discuss about its legacy, as it is not in concern with the subject line. We do not recommend and encourage any piracy.

What is new in uTorrent web?

uTorrent Web has been available in its beta version since years. Finally, the web-based torrent client is finally available as a stable version.

The main difference between uTorrent Web and its counterparts is the in-browser downloading.

Alike uTorrent, uTorrent Web can also play audio and video files before they have completely finished downloading.
Unlike uTorrent, the playback also happens inside the browser.
Other file types can be downloaded simultaneously.
It is a normal BitTorrent client.
After successful installation, uTorrent Web will try to open the torrent and the magnet links automatically inside a browser window.
You can search for content on your regular torrent sites or use uTorrent Web’s search box, which redirects you to Google.
Downloading tremendously fast, and playback is smoother.
Subtitles are pulled in automatically, assuming they’re included in the torrent file.
You can choose your language, your default download folder, and whether to open each torrent in a new tab or not.
It’s possible to set uTorrent Web to start up when your computer boots or clear your search history, and you can opt for uTorrent Web as your default torrent client.

uTorrent to be soon available for other OS than Windows

uTorrent Web is only available for Windows, but it will likely be ported to other operating systems if this launch is successful. In our testing, however, the experience wasn’t ideal — uTorrent Classic is still significantly simpler to install and use. But the fact that BitTorrent has managed to bring all the basic functionality into the browser is certainly a success.

Conclusion

BitTorrent promises that the desktop version of uTorrent, which will now be referred to as uTorrent Classic, will live on: “Our long-term plan is to continue development across both products and make them available on utorrent.com.”
