μTorrent

proprietary adware BitTorrent client


μTorrent, or uTorrent is a BitTorrent client for Microsoft Windows and macOS, similar to BitTorrent. It also runs on Linux, but in a more scaled-down way as only the older, server versions work, and on Ubuntu and Debian. It allows users to share files over the Internet.
