BitTorrent is a fast and free peer-to-peer file sharing application that makes it easy to locate and download torrents from around the web.

The program includes its own search box. Enter a few keywords describing whatever you're looking for, and a browser windows will open at Ask.com with whatever matching torrents the site could uncover. Follow the links, and as long as you made BitTorrent your default torrent application during installation, the program should open and begin downloading your selected file.

BitTorrent isn't your default app? Click Options > Preferences and you can set up your file associations manually. And while you're there, knowledgeable users may want to take advantage of BitTorrent's many customisation options. You're able to tweak the port used for incoming connections; limit upload and download rates to ensure there's bandwidth left for other apps; cap torrent transfers to a particular amount in the past month; use a scheduler to enable BitTorrent to run at full speed only during the times you define, and more.

BitTorrent 7 takes all this further, from support for both global and per-torrent speed limiting, to adding entirely new features like an RSS Downloader. Yet it still remains fast and extremely lightweight, with the core program consuming barely more than 7MB RAM (private working set) when it's first launched - this isn't a tool that's going to slow you down.

BitTorrent 7 also gets a dramatic rewrite to its disk i/o, which means noticeable performance gains in multi-tasking. For example, you can delete files from a torrent or move torrents to a new location, but without the usual slow-down in torrent downloading. Or, download torrents to two different drives, but with the speed of downloading to a single drive. You'll notice gains at both low and high speeds, and whether you're writing to local disk, a RAID or a network drive. You'll also experience improvements to the disk subsystem and rate limiter.

Launched over a decade ago by Ludvig Strigeus, µTorrent (also known as micro torrent) became popular due to its tiny file size and the small memory footprint required to run on Windows. Since then, µTorrent has been developed on a continuous basis to provide a deep feature set perfectly suited for automating torrent downloads, managing bandwidth and data usage, customizing the interface and more. Ideal for experienced users, it’s the best Windows 10 torrent client and supports Windows versions all the way back to XP, Vista, 7 and 8.

I can’t decide between µTorrent Classic or µTorrent Web. Can you help me choose?

µTorrent Classic is a desktop-based torrent client that is packed with features to enable both download automation and remote connectivity to your torrent client from anywhere in the world. It’s ideal if you are looking to download different types of files frequently, as the automation features can help streamline the process. Also, µTorrent Classic is a torrent client that you can remotely access any time, from anywhere in the world, provided that your computer at home is turned on and µTorrent Classic is running. The torrent client is more ideal for experienced users given the variety of customization options, however, is still perfectly suitable for beginners. Since the standard settings work just fine, you can still download torrents without needing to setup or configure the software.

If the files you download are video or audio based, and you like the ability to play them while you download, µTorrent Web is a great choice. Unlike µTorrent Classic, which is a desktop-based torrent client, µTorrent Web is an online torrent downloader that installs into your favorite web browser. The interface features a prominent media player that can play your files near-instantly, while they download, or you can play them when you’re offline. The online torrent downloader has many advantages over the µTorrent Classic desktop-based software, including a simpler interface, less settings, and an experience that is integrated more tightly with your online browsing.
