Visit µTorrent

µTorrent is a BitTorrent client for downloading and streaming torrent files. It offers a lightweight desktop client, µTorrent Classic, and a browser-based version, µTorrent Web, for Windows, Mac, Android, and iPad. µTorrent Web lets users play torrents while they download, while µTorrent Classic is aimed at experienced users who manage multiple downloads.

µTorrent Classic supports simultaneous bulk downloads, automatic bandwidth adjustment, scheduled start, stop, and seeding times, and remote torrent addition from a web browser on any device. µTorrent Web works in Chrome, Safari, and Edge. The Android app downloads torrent files and magnet links and lets users choose the file download location. Premium tiers add CyberGhost VPN for up to five devices, malware and virus blocking, an ad-free experience, and file conversion, with the latter available in µTorrent Classic only. A free download is available, alongside Basic, Ad-Free, Pro, and Pro+VPN editions.
