Utorrent vs BitTorrent
-
I have been wondering what the differences between Utorrent and Bittorrent are for many years. They are both made by the same company, and look and function the same… BUT there is a difference. Utorrent downloads files much faster. On my test, Utorrent's download rate was 3 times as fast. Also. Utorrent finds peers a lot faster than Bittorrent.
So, I would suggest.. forget Bittorrent.

I think that has something to do with being connectable or not, a pure setup issue (which can happen on both). bitTorrent got one or two additional functions, e.g. "DNA" (nobody needs that for torrenting IMHO).

µTorrent has a much lower memory footprint than the program that Ludvig Strigeus developed it from, BitTorrent. Both still contain programming for adware (although in µTorrent this can be disabled). Open-source clients that aren't monetized have even lower footprints. But like Popper says, I dont know if that makes them any "faster" so to speak.
