BitTorrent Inc. released the new uTorrent Web, a software that allows users to download as well as stream torrents directly from the default web browser they use. In the long run, this web version is expected to compete with today's classic application.
The BitTorrent Inc. development team has allegedly expanded uTorrent by creating a very ambitious project: the uTorrent Web.
The application can work from Chrome or Firefox, in a fairly simple way. After installing the Windows-only client, the connections torrent and magnet are automatically opened by uTorrent Web in a browser window.
Users can use regular torrent sites to find torrents or use the app's search box, which redirects to Google.
As with most modern video players, the web application supports subtitles, audio and video, with the option to select a specific file if a torrent contains more than one archives multimedia.
The web application can download any file (gamea, software), but obviously won't stream them.
The released beta version has several basic preference settings and lets you change your download location or download speed. Most likely, more options will come with the release of the final version.
