Contents. History Early development Out of general discontent with, Serge Paquet suggested to that he should make a smaller and more efficient BitTorrent client.

Strigeus began to conceptualize the plans for the program's development, which, at the time, did not include making the client feature-rich. After initially working on it for about a month during the last quarter of 2004 (the first build is dated October 17, 2004), mostly during his free time before and after work, Strigeus ceased coding µTorrent for a year.

He resumed work on September 15, 2005, and three days later, the first public release (version 1.1 beta) was made available as, and began generating feedback. PeerFactor SARL On March 4, 2006, PeerFactor SARL announced the signing of a six-month contract with Strigeus for the development of 'new content distribution applications on the Web.' PeerFactor SARL is a relatively new company formed by former employees of PeerFactor, which was a subsidiary of the French anti-piracy organization.

Ludde stated that his coding for PeerFactor SARL was to use his expertise at optimization of the BitTorrent to create a which PeerFactor SARL intended to use as part of a distribution platform for files in a corporate setting. At the time there was some speculation that μTorrent may have been modified to spy on users on Peerfactor's behalf, however to date (even following μTorrent's acquisition by BitTorrent, Inc.) no evidence has been produced to support these allegations.

Ownership change On December 7, 2006, µTorrent was purchased by On September 18, 2007, 6.0 was released. Although previous versions of the BitTorrent client had been, with version 6 it became closed.

Screenshot of μTorrent Server viewed in Firefox µTorrent is available for,. A µTorrent Server is also available for. The first test version for macOS, running on, was released on 27 November 2008.

On September 2, 2010, the native version of µTorrent Server was released. Firon, an administrator of the µTorrent community forum, said that they had been working on this project for a few months prior to the release as it was the most requested feature for some time. This release is intended for users who are seeking a fast based client with a remote web-based management. They also mentioned that a full featured client with a is a work in progress. He also said: ' This is a native Linux port and is known to work on 9.10+, 5+ and 12+.

Others may work, but they are not officially supported. Kernel 2.6.13 or newer required. 64-bit host systems currently have some problems, so 32-bit only for now. For trackers who whitelist, the user agent is 'uTorrent/300B(build#)(server)'. The peerid is identical to the Windows 3.0 client. They share version numbers because of a common codebase.' Currently μTorrent supports or newer and or newer.

Revenue In early versions, Strigeus had built in a web redirection via nanotorrent for search queries entered through the search bar that displayed advertisements in a frame on the web browser. Some users thought this suspicious because tracking could be implemented by recording the of those downloading/receiving the advertisements, and the search functionality could easily be used to track user queries through whichever web-interface the client is going through to execute the search.

After a short trial period, the advertising was disabled, mitigating possible concerns. A later version of the software has, instead of ads, a 'search all sites' feature, which is a keyword-based search bar that delivers listings of torrent files at different trackers. A frame at the top displays advertisements (server-side) in the browser when the search function is used. In version 1.5, no ads are present in the program itself. As of build 463, a redirect bypass feature became available in the Advanced options.

As of version 1.8.2, the µTorrent installer gives the user the option to download and install the. This is done on the first run of the program and the user may explicitly opt out of this feature by deselecting it.

The developers stated the addition was needed for funds to continue development. In late 2010, this was replaced with the.

Toolbars In late 2010, some controversy arose with a release of µTorrent which included in the form of the Engine, which installed a toolbar, and made homepage and default search engine changes to a user's web browser. A number of users reported that the installation was made without the user's consent. There were some complaints that the adware software was difficult to remove. In 2011, µTorrent bundled the. Paid version On July 15, 2011, BitTorrent announced that they would offer a paid version of µTorrent called 'µTorrent Plus'. This new version would offer extra features, such as integrated file conversion, anti-virus and a built in media player. On 6 October 2011, the of µTorrent Plus was released to an invitation only community.

As of December 2011, µTorrentPlus 3.1 was available for $24.95; as of December 2014, the Plus version was available as a $19.95 yearly subscription. Ads and malware In August 2012, BitTorrent announced the addition of in the free version of µTorrent which could be individually dismissed by users. Due to response from users, a few days later, the company stated that ads could be optionally turned off. A user-created tool known as 'Pimp My µTorrent' was also created to simplify the process of disabling ads in the Windows version. Starting with µTorrent version 3.2.2, the software also contains in-content advertisements described as 'Featured Torrent'. As with ads, it is possible to disable this content.

In March 2015, it was alleged that µTorrent had automatically installed a program known as Epic Scale—a program classified as ' by some security programs, which mines the in the background for BitTorrent, Inc. (allegedly giving a portion to charity ), utilizing and power. A µTorrent developer disputed the claim that it was automatically installed, and claimed that as with all other 'partner' programs bundled with the software, users could decline the installation. On March 28, Epic Scale was permanently removed from the installation and as a software bundle partner. Russian and Ukrainian users of µTorrent are being tricked into installing and other Yandex-produced software.

Pronunciation The author of µTorrent wrote in 2005, 'I usually say 'you torrent' because it looks like a u', and offered 'microtorrent', 'mytorrent' (as 'my' myː is the Swedish pronunciation of the Greek letter µ) and later 'mutorrent' as alternative pronunciations. In Greece, where the software is widely used, it is called 'me torrent', since the letter μ of the Greek Alphabet is pronounced mi in modern Greek. The symbol μ is the lowercase letter, which stands for the '. It refers to the program's small footprint. Contributors Original development was performed by ('ludde', from ), the creator of µTorrent.
