What is uTorrent?
uTorrent is a software that allows you to share or download torrent files. Without any doubt, uTorrent is one of the most popular and fastest torrent downloader software.
You can use it to download just about any torrent file, no matter in which format it comes. And of course, you can also download movies using uTorrent.
A torrent file is responsible for storing metadata used for BitTorrent.
BitTorrent is a peer-to-peer file sharing (P2P) communications protocol that is used to distribute data and electronic files over the Internet.
BitTorrent is one of the most common protocols for transferring large files, such as digital video files or audio files containing songs.
BitTorrent is a P2P (Peer to Peer) network system of sharing files without needing to have the file in a specific location. Instead of download the movie file directly from a website or server, you are downloading it from everyone who is sharing (or “seeding”) that same movie file all at once.
uTorrent is free. but you can pay for the pro version for ads free experience. uTorrent is still considered as the fastest torrent downloader.
Features of uTorrent
:: The downloads can be paused at any time and can be resumed at any time. Switching off the laptop or pc doesn’t affect the download, it will continue the download after switching on.
:: You can also transfer the data downloaded by Utorrent to one system to another even if the download is not complete. you can continue the download in another system.
:: You can download movies using uTorrent whenever you wish. However, the best and ideal time to download movies will be when no one is using the internet, as it needs a strong and unshared internet connection to process with ease.
Is using uTorrent illegal?
There is a misconception that torrents are illegal. Torrents are totally legal but torrenting copyrighted content is illegal. You can’t upload or share content that is copyrighted.
Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) is always on a lookout for copyrighted content on torrent. Piracy is a criminal offense so use torrent safely.
Torrenting in itself is not illegal but can become illegal if you are using a piece of software without licensing rights.
Software piracy is the unauthorized use, distribution, or copying of copyrighted software. (source)
