When hearing about uTorrent Web for the first time, normally a user would think of it as some online torrent downloader like BitPort that we can access by typing a URL in the web browser. It is, however, only partly true in the case of uTorrent Web.
uTorrent Web is indeed a website that allows you to download your favorite torrents anytime, but it lives in a server hosted locally on your computer. This brings a couple of pros and cons in the picture. Being a locally hosted torrent downloader, uTorrent Web can be accessed even if there is no active internet connection available. The same becomes a disadvantage because it can’t be accessed over the internet directly.
How to use uTorrent Web in Windows 10?
To setup uTorrent Web on your computer, you can download and install the required files like any other Windows software.
After successful installation, a shortcut is created on the desktop which opens uTorrent Web in your web browser. You can continue to use the shortcut or bookmark the localhost URL in your browser for easier access.
In comparison to its classic sibling, uTorrent Web doesn’t offer much in terms of features. The main screen of uTorrent Web features a search box which loads users’ queries (after adding ‘torrent’ to the query) in Google Search in a new browser tab.
uTorrent Web can automatically run when Windows boots and also capture torrent downloads. So, your downloads won’t discontinue even if you close the web browser. This might create some trouble during initial use as the user may forget to pause downloads and later face trouble using the internet. The torrent client notifies the user of its presence through an icon present in the notifications area.
You can move down slightly to see the Torrent Feed that lists all your torrent downloads. You can use the different filters and sorting options to arrange them as per your liking. It also offers the Force Start feature for downloading torrents.
There are two ways to add and stream torrents using uTorrent Web. First, the user can click the +Torrent button where are options to upload torrent files and add magnet links. Second, the user can drag and drop a torrent file directly into the browser window.
Exploring further, click the gear button in the top-right corner to open up more settings uTorrent Web offers. There you can choose whether to start the torrent client after Windows startup. Also, the checkbox “Open each torrent in new tab” is more helpful when the torrent contains a video file. The option allows users to view multiple torrent files at the same time. The Settings page also includes the option to manage upload and download bandwidth for torrent streaming and downloads.
As soon as you hook up a new torrent, you can stream torrents instantly. In fact, the playback starts automatically if the torrent includes a video file. You can still see the download progress below the media player.
Users would have welcomed more features but one shouldn’t have any problem with uTorrent Web because the user experience is what it provides. The torrent client is young and still sprouting. For more functions, the full-fledged uTorrent or BitTorrent are always there.

BitTorrent vs. uTorrent
Torrents have completely revolutionized the way that people share and download files. Instead of downloading the entire file from a certain point, the downloading computer is aware of a number of computers that have a copy of the file, or pieces of it, and downloads bits and pieces from different sources. This way, the load is shared, and the risk of the main source getting bogged down due to the number of requests is eliminated. BitTorrent and uTorrent are two clients that manage your torrent download. The most significant difference between the two, is their size. The installer for uTorrent is well under 1MB, while that of BitTorrent is almost 3MB. This is because the BitTorrent installer packs the optional software, like toolbars, together with the installer, while uTorrent simply downloads it if the user decides he needs it.
The development cycle of uTorrent is quite fast, and there are alpha and beta versions available so that you are always on the edge of the development. BitTorrent only releases stable versions, and foregoes the release of alpha or beta versions. uTorrent users have the benefit of receiving new features first, while BitTorrent versions are assured of encountering fewer problems, if any, as the software they are using has been rigorously tested. Since BitTorrent only releases stable versions, there is also a noticeable delay between the release of a uTorrent stable version and a BitTorrent stable version. This delay can be somewhere around a week. So if you are using uTorrent, but only updating to stable versions, you basically have a BitTorrent client that’s always a week early.
In terms of the performance of both clients, there are really no major differences, as both are almost identical to each other. Although uTorrent might get some features that will improve its performance by some margin, BitTorrent will also get the same features as soon as they become stable, thereby eliminating the gap. This is basically a cat and mouse chase, where BitTorrent always trails uTorrent by some small margin. BitTorrent users just have the extra buffer in case changes introduced to the unstable version of the software causes the software to crash, or fail in some way.
Summary:
1. The BitTorrent installer is significantly larger than the uTorrent installer.
2. uTorrent has alpha and beta versions, while BitTorrent does not.
3. Stable BitTorrent versions are released a bit later than those of uTorrent.
