Default A review of uTorrent.

I tried uTorrent because it's so much smaller and faster and more elegant, than Bittorrent, which has spyware and lags your computer, like Realplayer does. Alot of the awesome software has so much spyware on it.

I noticed uTorrent though, seems to lack the verification of the files that Bittorrrent does, so when you play them on your mp3 player you get more corrupt files, although i'm not entirely sure it's the uTorrent application or just my computer, but I do see alot of failed hash checks and then the file doesn't play right or something, but it may not be uTorrent's fault, just machines uploading bad files.

I use utorrent. Just note that Comcast has put 250 gig cap on user downloads. Other ISP's may follow suit.

I saw them installing FIOS in the neighborhood the other week. 250 gigs would be about an hours worth of downloading on that.

at first i was angered by this, but then I thought about how much 250 gigs is. I've probably never downloaded 250 gigs in my entire life. Are you talking per month?

What would you be downloading 250 gigs for?
