I was talking with someone earlier today, and a topic called utorrent was mentioned on the fly. What is it?

zy · 13th Apr 2008, 08:25 AM

it is a torrent client.

I think its probably the best bittorrent client out there.

If you don't know what bittorent is: BitTorrent (protocol) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It's not the best but 1 of the best to me.There are still some other better torrent client out there.Too bad BT in Malaysia has already been throttled

Like I mentioned, this done in passing and I'd never heard of it before. What is is used for?

It's a P2P (peer to peer) tool used to trade files with each other without going through a third-party server.

No but is offered now as an alternative to a direct server DL which is nice to see.

Three tips for utorrent and it is the best torrent client I have used:

1) Always force start
2) Always set bandwidth allocation to "high"
3) Update trackers as often as you can

Some trackers don't like it if you update too frequently
