| reply to vliktor Re: RIP utorrent
The orginal developer, and again the Bittorrent company, have said that it will not be open-sourced or that they have "no plans" to do so.
There are open source Bittorrent clients. Some are very good. Some run on Mac or Linux.
The only advantages of uTorrent are that it's very well-coded and efficient on Windows (small filesize, little memory use, high performance); and many users like the interface. One of the open source clients could be improved to become equally excellent on Linux or Mac. |
