Con’s
- Sometimes good Torrents are really really hard to find
- Sometimes it can take hours, day, weeks to download a file/files. All will depend on your connection and the souring of the torrent you are using.
- Not very effective when downloading very small files such as 1 Mp3
- There are still some major virus problems
- Sometimes Torrents may get corrupted for no reason at all
- Depending on your Internet connection. You can use all your bandwidth for the whole house or business network without evening knowing it.
- Some options require you to be Computer/Internet Savvy
Pro’s
- Free

- Files are pretty darn safe. Provided you know what files types you are looking for. (And stick to Torrents with positive feedback/comments)
- Way better then competition
- Very slick/clean interface
- Very light on resources (Both Ram and CPU)
- Provided you use a good torrent site, you can get great sourcing.
- Very decent download speeds
- Very easy to change ports on the fly
- Can download any type of files you could ever want.
- Can download multiple files at a time

—————————————————————
Overall Score 4 out of 5 – Provided you are using a good torrent source like ISOHUNT. You should be able to find pretty much anything you could ever want. But be very careful TORRENTS can have some very nasty virus hidden inside them. So please use the Torrent Positive/Negative comment rule. So if there is no feedback or negative feedback posted for that torrent. Then what ever you do don’t download said torrent. If you decide to download anyways you would be asking for a virus. On the other hand if there are a bunch of positive comments (Green Comments/Score). Then you should be good, but I tend to read the comments even if there are a lot of positive comments. Just to air on the safe side.

Till My Next Review,

From my experience of using utorrent, I don’t think torrent files get randomly corrupted at all. I suspect this, along with many of the virus problems, stem from users not knowing what they’re downloading when they click on a link – not the program itself!
Dear R4 SDHC,
I’m very family with both torrents and the µTorrent program. But I do have to admit it really is not random. That was my mistake but there is a corruption issues at times.
Thanks for your correction as well as your comment,
Remy “Se7en”
