µTorrent, the BitTorrent client that is.. Micro-Sized Yet Feature FilledMost of the features present in other BitTorrent clients are present in µTorrent, including bandwidth prioritization, scheduling, RSS auto-downloading and Mainline DHT (compatible with BitComet). Additionally, µTorrent supports the Protocol Encryption joint specification (compatible with Azureus 2.4.0.0 and above, BitComet 0.63 and above) and peer exchange.
Resource-FriendlyµTorrent was written with efficiency in mind. Unlike many torrent clients, it does not hog valuable system resources - typically using less than 6MB of memory, allowing you to use the computer as if it weren't there at all. Additionally, the program itself is contained within a single executable less than 220 KB in size.
Skinnable and LocalizedVarious icon, toolbar graphic and status icon replacements are available, and creating your own is very simple. µTorrent also has support for localization, and with a language file present, will automatically switch to your system language. If your language isn't available, you can easily add your own, or edit other existing translations to improve them!
Actively Developed and ImprovedThe developer puts in a lot of time working on features and making things more user-friendly. Releases only come out when they're ready, with no schedule pressures, so the few bugs that appear are quickly addressed and fixed.
Wine configuration This is with a clean configuration directory and running in a 1024x768 virtual desktop. $ winecfg Once the .wine directory is built the configuration tool will start and you can set a virtul desktop in the graphics tab if you wish. Installing µTorrent Download µTorrent 1.6.1 from here. µTorren doesn't install its self it is a stand-alone application, unless you use the installer version. However, on first run, it will ask if you would like to make shortcuts on your start menu and desktop. tom@tom:~$ wine utorrent.exe    Select (NO) version 1.7.5 doesn't work properly with current Wine releases.
