Hi! This is a Software Video Review from SoftwareSlant.com and today I’m going to review a torrent downloading application that is called Utorrent. Its probably one of the most popular torrents applications out there and this is very famous for being so light weight, small, and really, really fast.
I’ve installed here and just to see and just to show you how it works. First of all, if you don’t know what torrent is, I suggest you go to Google and then just Google that or look up on Wikipedia and basically, it’s a protocol or a system of downloading files that other people share and this is actually very fast because you can download some from a lot of people who has the same file, like a popular song or something else. Now the legal side of it is of course a total different matter and it’s totally up to you whether to download any legal material or some illegal material.
First of all, if you download some files, you have to go to a torrent site and you actually have to download a torrent. So a torrent is a file which actually describes the download and it actually contains the instruction for the program how to download that specific file. Let’s go to one of those sites that have a lot of torrents in them and try to download one of them.
Now, some kind of a book, and if I download this torrent, now since that Utorrent is installed in my system it will automatically open it up with Utorrent. After that, it asked me where to save the file. So lets save to go to all my downloads come and you actually organize all your downloads with labels. So you’ll have labels for videos, for application, for books, or something else and it allows you to select if you want to just download the whole thing or just some part of it. So I’ll leave the text file alone. So that’s been added.
Now, and here is the file and in my list of torrents. You can see assign any labels so its on under the no label, label right now. If I just click the play button, it starts to download automatically and it’s really, really fast depending on how many people have it at once. We’ll its just as easy as that.
Add some advanced function like that in Utorrent like RSS downloading where if you have access certain pages which gives you feeds of RSS for torrents. You can automatically download a series of your favorite show and well there is more than site like that on the internet so you just create few and let Utorrent know all your new series downloading automatically.
There is also another thing which called Web UI and what it allows you to is it allows you to access Utorrent from another computer. If you know the password and it you know the name of the computer of which Utorrent is run. So I’m running it globally so this is how it would look, password and administrator. As you see, that’s my torrent that has been downloaded exactly as here. so if you more and more computer in your house, lets say you might be downloading all your torrents on your main machine and browsing the web for example on your notebook, and then you can just log in into Web UI and control all your torrents from there. Now, if I just remove and delete it, let’s see if that works. Yeah, that’s all gone.
So as you see for the part of the program, it is free to download and it’s actually pretty cool. So go ahead and check it out.
