I don't know about other software, but uTorrent has ratings and comments that get distributed through the swarm.


sort by: page size:

Don't forget it has a comments system and tracks the peers of 6 million torrents.

By the same programmer as uTorrent.

Most bittorrent programs I've used have this feature.

uTorrent has a search tab for example.

utorrent works.

utorrent works.

Actually the various torrent aggregators usually have a comment section and if you don't download 0-days it's already vouched safe/unsafe by the time you get to it.

Webtorrent support has been added to Vuze and libtorrent (backs clients like deluge and qBittorrent), so there is some ability for mainstream swarms to interact with webtorrent peers.

Even utorrent has the stream feature.

showrss custom feed into utorrent. Works like a charm.

I don't have any evidence to back it up, but I think uTorrent has better network code and produces faster downloads. I use despite its slight ugliness compared to transmission.

uTorrent is owned by BitTorrent company

Indeed, uTorrent has been trying to monetise by installing third-party software.

There are several options including Transmission and Deluge-torrent.


So this is about torrents. I never got into them, but isn't the whole point of torrents that it is known what people downloaded? That's how they know what you can seed, right?

I didn't know uTorrent was a company! I haven't used Windows in forever, so I've been using Transmission for a long time, but I feel like that's the equivalent of foobar2000 being a company or something.

Thanks I haven't hear of that. And it is written in C++ which is nice.

Is it considered the spiritual successor to the original uTorrent?


Any better alternative to uTorrent? I am using it since years. Bittorrent seems just clone of it with different color scheme.

Like bittorrent clients

This is very similar to what BitTorrent does or am I missing something?
