The way that BitTorrenting works is when someone downloads a torrent file, others can download it as well and share the burden of the download. Rather than the download coming from one server or computer it is now coming from multiple ones also called peers. The process is more complicated but that is essentially it. You can only download files that are in a torrent format when using uTorrent or any other client. A torrent file is a type of conversion that bundles large amounts of data into one file and is required to download through BitTorrent clients.

Torrenting is completely safe and you will never be at risk as your IP Address and location are not known. For people with low bandwidth or in other words slow internet with a poor upload and download speed this method is probably best. Mainly due to it having a faster download time and more freedom with the pause function.
On the Torrents page you'll find many features such as adding a new torrent from either your computer or URL and even allows you to create new ones. At the bottom of the page you will find several tabs, Files, Info, Peers, Ratings, Trackers and Speed. The most important tabs are the first three due to the overall importance. In the Files tab you'll find all the basic information on the torrent you are downloading and on the Info tab you'll find a more in depth analysis on each file. The Peers tab is basically where you'll find your fellow torrenters that are downloading the same file and supporting the download.
uTorrent has many other features besides torrenting. Most notably the BitTorrent Bundles page which boasts a premium and free service. On the Bundles page you'll find movies, music and much more all legally available. uTorrent also has a devices page, allowing you to convert media and transfer it to phones, tablets, games consoles and much more.
Overall uTorrent is the simplest and easiest torrent client on the internet. It also has regular updates which add features and improve performance making for an enjoyable and hassle free experience.
