µTorrent 0.9.2 for Mac OS X

4 Comments

µTorrent is always my first choice BitTorrent client in Windows because µTorrent is light, small and it is free. I am running the µTorrent for Mac OS X 10.5 Intel version few months. Found it is speedy and efficient being surpass the speed and not being throttled when downloading.

Indeed, this µTorrent for Mac OS X supports multiple simultaneous downloads as well as protocol encryption, peer-exchange and trackerless support (Mainline DHT). However, I am so generous to configure my µTorrent to only have 64kB/sec for download and 8kB/sec for upload. I am happy that I can achieve my download and upload speed. Well, are you using µTorrent for Mac OS X? Would love to hear your comments.
