Although u was heavily criticized after Bitorrentorrent Inc. Introducing a lot of ads, adware, offers and other unwanted products, u is still a popular tool to seeding and downloading torrent files.

Today, the final version of uTorrent Web was released on Windows. The company also said it will soon release a version for Mac.

Note: Some users said that the Windows installation may have installation offers from third parties, however they are limited by region and other ways.

Introducing uTorrent Web

The uTorrent Web client is still running on the user's computer after installation, but the download options are uploaded to the browser. The interface will automatically open on the default browser. If not, click on the uTorrent Web icon in the system tray to open it.

The player also has limitations, MP4 files play normally but other formats cannot play but only audio. The download takes place in the background and works fine. Currently, it should not be expected to have a lot of setup options, in fact only limited to upload and download bandwidth.

Note that the download will continue as long as the uTorrent Web process is running on the machine, meaning that the web interface will be turned off even if it is turned off. If you want to stop downloading, you must turn off the client software on the device. uTorrent Web defaults to the first file it receives. You can select the Files button next to each torrent to see all the files it contains.

Whether the playback is smooth depends on the download speed and seeder of the torrent. Some files are almost instantly playable. The downloaded file is on your computer so you can play it at any time. There is currently no option to always download all files.

The last thing to note is that uTorrent Web limits file types, can only download AVI, MP4 or OGV and not download XML or GIF. Either click on the file to remove it or you can use the file blocking feature.
