What is uTorrent?

µTorrent (or uTorrent, commonly abbreviated as "µT" or "uT") is a free, ad-supported, closed source BitTorrent client owned and developed by BitTorrent, Inc. With over 100 million users[15] it is the most widely used BitTorrent client outside China; globally only behind Xunlei.[16] The "µ" (Greek letter "mu") in its name comes from the SI prefix "micro-", referring to the program's small memory footprint: the program was designed to use minimal computer resources while offering functionality comparable to larger BitTorrent clients such as Vuze or BitComet. The program has received consistently good reviews for its feature set, performance, stability, and support for older hardware and versions of Windows.

The program has been in active development since its first release in 2005. Although originally developed by Ludvig Strigeus, since December 7, 2006, the code is owned and maintained by BitTorrent, Inc.[17] The code has also been employed by BitTorrent, Inc. as the basis for version 6.0 and above of the BitTorrent client, a re-branded version of µTorrent.

µTorrent is available for Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, and Android.[18] A µTorrent Server is also available for Linux. All versions are written in C++.[19]

Yes, it downloaded directly a file for a specific operating system.
I changed it because some people run a different operating system.
Now everyone can choose and download the correct file they need.

[adm]I agree people use different OS so this was a correct edit.[/adm]
