BitTorrent Inc. has released the new uTorrent Web, a software that allows users to download and stream torrents directly from their default web browser. In the long run, this web version is expected to compete with today's classic application.
The BitTorrent Inc. development team has reportedly expanded uTorrent by creating a very ambitious project: uTorrent Web.
The application can be run from Chrome or Firefox, in a fairly simple way. After installing the client, which is only for Windows, torrent and magnet links automatically open from uTorrent Web in a browser window.
Users can use regular torrent sites to find torrents or use the application's search box, which redirects to Google.
As with most modern video players, the web application supports subtitles, audio and video, with the ability to select a specific file if a torrent contains more than one media file.
The web app can download any file (games, software), but obviously it won't stream them.
The beta version that's being released has a lot of basic preference settings and allows you to change the download location or download speed. More options will likely follow with the final release.
